it took me a year or so after seeing it for me to realize, but i always assumed it was just gonna be some edgelord viking shit. this interview is really selling me on it.

io9: Your portrayal of Indigenous and transgender characters—like the Lnu tribe and Cordelia—stands out in a media landscape where such representation is still rare outside of series like Golden Kamuy, Skip and Loafer, and Paradise Kiss, where they’re often mishandled. What impact do you hope these characters have on expanding the narrative terrain? How do you see your storytelling challenging the ethnocentric lens that dominates much of mainstream media when it comes to that representation?

Yukimura: I did have written characters in [Vinland Saga] from a marginalized ethnic group [and] who are LGBTQ featured here. I actually wanted to portray a character with a disability in the story, too. However, because of the setting, I really couldn’t find the right place to incorporate such a character into the story. One thing I really don’t understand, though, is why do people attack such folks? Is it because they’re different? Why do they just focus on bad things about these groups and generalize them? I truly don’t understand why people do such things. I plainly feel sad when it comes to the way people treat each other.

To me, it’s quite normal for people to have uniqueness. It’s almost needless to say that we all individually have a uniqueness that might be considered different than what is the majority. For example, I grew up in an era where higher education was considered to be the most important thing in society in Japan. You almost had no paths in life outside of that structure. I actually do live outside of that structure, and I’m living perfectly fine. I really want to say that uniqueness is okay. I don’t understand why people are making those judgments to say, “This is okay, but this is not okay.”

I haven’t really thought about what this type of storytelling or character would have an impact on society at all. I’m just writing, drawing, and portraying society as I see it and what I think is normal from my eyes in the manga. If people don’t agree with that version of what I think is a normal society, then oh well. (Laughs) That’s too bad. Those people don’t have to read my manga.

As I wrote 10 years ago in my final magazine: you have immediate access to decades of games/scans/videos/etc. to make a unique gaming text. You can go bigger than a zine and still make it look cool, and you don't have to make yet another platform/genre catalog. Curate and craft for god's sake

embarrassed to say i looked thru some of the dude’s tweets last night because i’d never heard of him, and they’re all “*Like* if you think classic JRPGS like this are better than CoD shooters today” and its a picture of the Ehrgeiz box art. more embarrassed that they had a fair bit of engagement.

great news, i bet you’ll really sock it to ‘em

i just feel like any time the press quotes JD Vance stating “facts” they should remind everyone that he proudly boasted about making up the pet-eating stuff for attention. he didn’t misspeak or was misinformed, it was deliberate and he said so. that should disqualify you from being a source forever.

as someone who used to go by “carpboy” online, this characterization of me as an “eating machine” is quite accurate

trivial pursuit for crafting!!!
