"Why's Patty bigger than everybody else? How important is she?"
"More of her on the PS3 box art is shown to say 'HA HA' to anyone stupid enough to get the 360 version and anyone who's not Japanese."
A YouTube comment on the PlayStation 3 box art of Tales of Vesperia.note 

A good Back to the Future game? Somebody made a good Back To The Future game? And it was only in Japan? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS FUCKING WORLD?! We get these shitty games, but not that one? Like, what the hell? Why would you do that? It's good, I mean it's not great, but it's the best goddamn Back to the Future game I ever played, it's actually a game! Why bury the gem and dig up the turd? Innocent people have suffered through these fuckin' fuckheaps! People have developed fuckititis from this shit! People have gone on to live horrible lives, kickin' babies in the balls! If you would've went back and time and said to people, 'Hey, hey, there's a good Back to the Future game! Put this shit down and go to Japan!', they woulda looked at you like you were tellin' em to go... teabag a goat on the surface of Mars. Well, thank you, for taking a fucking shit on us all.

Young people feel somewhat entitled to view content that's been made. They know that it's been made and it exists. They have a really hard time grasping why they shouldn't be able to go online and just view it when they want to view it.

Oh, and thanks Nintendo for putting in a character from Mother 3, a game you're never going to fucking release outside Japan, despite the fact that I can fucking guarantee that more people will play it then Mario Kart Eleventy Billion: The Next Generation.

La plupart des contenus japonais sont focalisés sur le marché domestique. Le Japon n' pas encore éstabli la façon de se promouvoir à l' étranger. Les prix montent en flèche à l' exportation, il y a aussi les problèmes des ventes au rabais des licences des images...Translation

Editor's note in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

"Q.T. Hush" was a cartoon adventure serial that ran in syndication on American TV. It was never transmitted in Britain, although several episodes were brought over to London in the mid-1960s by an American TV executive who hoped to syndicate them in Britain. I saw these episodes whilst I was working at Broadcasting House for the BBC. I mis-heard the title character's name as 'Cutey Hush', but the syndication executive explained to me that the character's name was part of an American slang phrase: to do something 'on the Q.T.' is to keep it quiet, softly-softly.
F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre on his IMDb review explains why Q.T. Hush never aired in the United Kingdom.
