Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home. Fox News Jesse Watters highlighted the juror’s details while reading through public pool notes about the selected members. “This nurse scares me if I’m Trump,” Watters said.
They responded after the comments were talking about the real mafia. So when someone says hell I rather the Yakuza game series protagonist after real people it does seems way more obvious. If the comment existed in a bubble and was only directly comparing them to the candidates then yah you would be correct.
I mean Kiryu spends most of the games NOT being one. He is brought back In like a retired cop every game. Does he commit crimes? He defends himself quite a bit, in doing so he causes property damage. What big crimes does he commit in the series? I’m trying to think. I mean he uses knifes and guns but people all end the same way regardless if you used a bicycle or hand gun. If anything the game don’t romanticize it barely says anything about the real Yakuza at all.
That’s fair enough, I’m literally just playing through the games now and felt compelled to comment. Kiryu’s fundamental value system is presented to us at face value right from his first interaction with Majima in the opening of the first game. He’s prepared and unconflicted about fighting Majima, just not for no reason like Majima wants. Kiryu has to have “a reason” to engage in actions typical of Yakuza, though the specific parameters of his reasoning aren’t quantified. It’s just whatever makes innate sense to him in the moment, which I’m interpreting as a rejection of conventional moral barriers to action. He’ll do whatever it takes to achieve the end he seeks, and the only difference between him and other Yakuza (or indeed Yakuza in real life) in this respect is that the ends he’s seeking are noble/just. i.e. “chaotic good”, with Majima the protagonist being his “chaotic neutral” counterpart. TBH I can’t really speak for Tak or Ichi because I haven’t finished those games, but the gist I got of what the commenter is saying is that they think although the base case for most people would be to prefer lawful-aligned governance, the outcomes secured by being chaos-aligned would justify their chaos.
