I'm sorry but the idea that if you've personally experienced racism, that you therefore become some kind of expert on it as a sociological phenomena (and authority on how and when it should be opposed), makes about as much sense as saying that victims of cancer should be consulted on how to cure cancer.
It's just not a logical deduction. One thing does not imply the other.
In many situations, actually being a victim of something yourself, makes you LESS rational in thinking about how to solve it.

People are obsessed with racism nowadays. They actively go looking for it, and if they can't find any genuine examples, they just redefine words or meanings in order to create it.
The whole subject has become a complete joke in my opinion. I no longer take accusations of racism at all seriously, which is unfortunate because there are probably some legitimate ones from time to time.

And yet Nevada has legalised prostitution. Which is more socially libertarian than most of Europe is. Hence my point about multiple cultures. The US was deliberately set up as a federation of 50 states for a reason, because getting wide scale consensus on anything in a country so big and diverse, would often be impossible.

There is no such thing as "american culture" in this particular sense. America is the most multi-cultural country on earth. There are about a dozen different "cultures" in the country.
The idea that Sony is accurately reflecting that is complete nonsense. Of course they're not. They're not even trying to. They're reflecting the culture of upper-middle class california democrats, who have become extreme puritans in recent years.

The idea that Sony is accurately representing "american culture" by censoring naked bottoms in Devil May Cry, is utterly deranged. They're doing nothing of the sort. Their HQ got relocated to California. They're representing puritanical wokeness culture, which only a tiny percentage of americans subscribe to.
