- anthk 3y agoJRPG's were born in Japan and thus they are called JRPG because they are built on that design/aesthetics. Is not derogatory. For instance, my country, Spain, has lots of comics and books based on slapstick and the society being built on roguery (picaresca) with crude/sneaking hacks to solve issues and backstabbings eveywhere. That's a trope since the 16th Century. And nobody would say Spanish 'picaresca' it's xenophobic even if a Southern French or an Italian writes a novel around that genre. Easier on the Italian because of the obvious reasons.
