Do you think the japanese developers were thinking of this? Does that warrant censorship because some fragile little NPCs are getting riled up by the perpetually offended?
Fuck that. This should be ignored by people like Sony, and those offended should be scoffed at for being so fucking stupid.
This isn't a racism thing. It's not even a thing at all, until those perpetually offended spoke up. Ideally, no attention would be given to this by anyone. But Sony is intervening, so shit like this gets a focus and dumbasses come along and say "well, it does look bad", but never really elaborates beyond a feeling of impropriety rather than anything malicious.
Stop expecting a sanitised world. This whole fucking SocJus shitshow arises from these expectations of sanitised environments. The internet was a bastion of community for all types until it gain mass accessibility in the late 2000s and suddenly everything needed to be scrubbed for normie sensibilities. And this isn't even leaning on conspiratorial aspects. This is hard reality, largely influenced by advertising, something that has lead this sanitisation effort FOR DECADES, if not well over a century at this point. Don't believe me? Here's Rod Fucking Serling talking about it in no unclear terms of EXACTLY that sterilisation of media in 1959.
This shit is a cancer. And until people at large, normies included, stop giving any credence to these sanitisation rituals of the media, nothing will change.

No, not necessarily. However, if you accidentally spell out something that would be offensive in another culture, it's probably best to remove it. It's not like the graffiti is essential to the game.
"Hard R" is a common term of expression that is rooted in a racist term. Accidental or not, it's better to remove it.
So sorry that it is offensive! I had no idea. Which culture is that/what does the word mean? It benefits me to learn more so I can avoid using the term more consciously.
I mean...i'm not saying it's intentional, but it is a pretty clear reading and probably should have been spotted in the initial test plays.
