To readers,

I humbly accept the criticism that several scenes in Episode 1 contained disrespectful depictions of other cultures and people.
Even if the direction and themes of the story differ from what you may be concerned about, I have decided not to launch the work, as the fundamental limitations of this project's premise are clear.
I believe this situation has revealed my complacent attitude toward human rights sensitivity when handling a specific era and setting, and that my storytelling lacked sufficient care and nuance. I am deeply ashamed.
In my eagerness to focus on the characters, I failed to fully recognize that I was replicating problematic historical contexts and representational tropes found in past works.
I also deeply resonate with the criticism that the characterization in question was not something to be treated lightly within a genre.
What I had told myself was passion for the stories, I now recognize as arrogance. I was not as prepared or as careful as this story required me to be.

I apologize for any displeasure caused to you, and I will carry this reflection with me as I continue.

Sincerely, JAXX


Well...how long till people start making videos about how twitter harassed an innocent artist who didn't know any better and that black people are sensitive?
