Tons of my favorite media from Japan are a result of the Japanese blatantly ripping off other cultures, and it's wonderful. All of the scolds talking about "cultural appropriation" and the like would effectively condemn Dynasty Warriors, Castlevania, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and so much more
- ntwalker 6y agoI've always found it a funny thing that for me, the thing that got me really interested in Chinese history where I never had interest before was playing the Dynasty Warriors series. I ended up buying the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and a book on Chinese history as a result. It opened my mind to a whole new part of the world. Also Bioware's Jade Empire deserves a mention. It'd be a shame to imagine people shying away from making art that draws from other cultures.
