To anyone reading this and not knowing what the hell is happening, here's a glimpse: substack.com/home/post/p-...
Kojima, quindi Sniper Wolf era solo un paio di tette di origine curda?
Kojima si fa fotografare con Zerocalcare, pubblicando anche lo scatto sui social, quindi si tira indietro di fronte alle polemiche di origini turche, dimenticando di aver difeso la stessa causa.

FACT 5: I will never buy a Kojima game anymore.

All these facts lead to FACT 4:

Talking about the Kurdish question in the 90s was OK because the Kurdish were bombed in Iraq, a country where games were not sold.

Now, however, Kojima can bury his artistic and moral integrity because Turkey is a thriving video game market and he needs to sell.

FACT 3: Kojima cancelled the picture with Zerocalcare and Kojima Productions made that statement after some ultranationalist-propaganda-brainwashed Turkish dudes backlash on social media.

(Kobane Calling is about Kurdish vs ISIS conflict, by the way).

FACT 2: Kojima in the past talked about the Kurdish question: Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid is Kurdish, she talks about the war and her childhood with suffering and bombs. This situation conveys the same messages as Zerocalcare's comic book "Kobane Calling".

FACT 1: Zerocalcare is not a terrorist, he has no convictions in any country, he has no extremist or divisive political views, unless you consider talking about the Kurdish question and the suffering of their people to be divisive.

There is already an in-depth article on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and tomorrow there will be a focus on Johan Nohr, artist of MÖRK BORG, an RPG that is overturning the canons of publishing in the sector and influencing the market.
