Re: Naoki Yoshida Is Not a Fan of the Term 'JRPG'

@KundaliniRising333 calling something by the name of where it originated is not necessary reductive or racist. Should American be offended by the use of American Football, is it still okay to say K-pop for Korean pop? It's only called that in other countries to make a distinction. Same with JRPGs, they were so different than what we had in the west that people felt like another term would be appropriate, since they were made in Japan it was only logical.
