“They don’t respect Japanese culture at all.” Forza Horizon 6 players in Japan banned for anime decorated cars in alleged new wave of mass reporting
Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
Forza Horizon 6 players in Japan are facing a surge of account suspensions tied to custom car designs, particularly anime-decorated vehicles known as itasha. Multiple content creators report being caught in what appears to be an aggressive automated moderation system targeting their designs. The wave follows earlier enforcement actions and has prompted frustration among the Japanese community, who view the removals as dismissive of a culturally significant car customization style.
- Automated systems are flagging and removing anime-themed car designs at scale, affecting numerous creators simultaneously.
- The enforcement appears disproportionately focused on Japanese players and itasha-style vehicles specifically.
- This represents a recurring pattern rather than an isolated incident, with players describing it as "another" wave of suspensions.
Forza's moderation approach risks alienating a core creative community by treating culturally rooted customization as generic policy violations rather than legitimate player expression.
