Big brudder Katrina, the famous localizer who inserted a nonbinary character in 13 Sentinels from Vanillaware, is now the director of localization for a major Japanese video game company. 
Some advanced Japanese learners here already know what Katrina did, but for newcomers: the character is just a cross-dresser
Some think Sega could be the next company. Remember, Japanese companies now make games for global audiences, so they self-censor Japanese Script/text too

They align with the localization/ethics dept and ask: Is this good for the West? The process follows with mods & censorship. If you question it, they’ll say: This was the original story from the start. All AAA companies do this now. True AAA Japanese games don’t exist anymore
We warned the “guess I learned Japanese” crowd. With global-audience localization, JP companies now exchange scripts with westerm teams, altering stories and “sensitive info” that changes the final JP version as well. You’ll never know how much they butcher. Vote with your wallet
You’ll need to learn Japanese to get hired and stop them from catering to Western progressive demands. The issue? An insanely gatekept community that protects each other in the localization industry was created long ago.
The only way to fix it? Don’t give money to JP.
