Razor Ramon Hard Gay
He'e is one of the biggest stars in Japan. Part popstar, part comedian, and part fighter (see his battle with "Yin Ling the Erotic Terrorist")
This is Razor Ramon Hard Gay.
A Japanese sexual minority group recently complained over a game based on this television personality, so says the Mainichi Daily News...
A sexual minority network has sent complaints to toy giant Tomy and Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) over a new version of Tomy's Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu game that uses a character based on television personality Razor Ramon HG, alternatively known as Hard Gay.
The Kyoto-based sexual minority teacher's network is demanding that Tomy halt sales of a version of the game titled "Kurohi-gei Kiki Ippatsu."
In the game, which is scheduled to go on sale on Dec. 30, plastic swords are inserted into holes in a barrel until the character inside jumps out.
The game was planned by TBS, the channel on which Razor Ramon frequently appears, and Tomy is marketing it.
The complaints claim that selling a toy in which a gay or similarly associated person is put in a barrel and people 'enjoy' poking swords into it discriminates against homosexuals. They also raise fears that the game instills the impression in children that discrimination against gays is fine.
Officials from the sexual minority network are seeking a response from Tomy and TBS over the issues.
Tomy officials said they would respond.
"We have taken the matter seriously, and want to respond. The concept of the game is not to stab people with swords, but rather it is to have the character jump out from the barrel. We want to explain that there has been confusion," a company official said.
