Aha, closer to Sekiro with the white ape, big fish, and giant snake dragon all reminiscent of bosses in it, along with the vanquished text.
It's definitely auto-translated, many of the sentences in the description further down are super stilted. I'm sure if someone writes the developer about the problematic history of the word "oriental", they would change it quickly.
Oh, okay, thanks! I figured it would have to do something with Western/Eastern, but I wouldn't have imagined that Oriental would somehow be offensive, considering it's basically a synonimous for Eastern. Thankfully I've never used "negro" outside of Spain though, it just sounds so terrible and dirty in English lmao
But the word isn't offensive or derogatory in Europe, at least in my experience. It may be "othering", but it is not considered offensive I believe. The word seems to have become slur-like in America.
Makes sense, I figure this and the visual novel bilibili announced today will both be there.
From SE Asia here and pretty sure Oriental isn't offensive, it's used even to describe something authentic from China like food etc.
Off-topic, I'm a British-born Filipino and "oriental" is not seen as an offensive term in the UK (loads of shops and restaurants use it and in Colindale, North London there used to a massive shopping centre called Oriental City).
it's offensive as an adjective? so it would be troubling to say "the oriental chef?"
Well, yeah, but "an oriental" and "oriental" aren't the same. The dictionary lists the noun as offensive, but not the adjective.
