Now, most likely fairly clearly, the “creator” in query is nearly positively in reference to none aside from Hideo Kojima, as a result of let’s be sincere, who else might or not it’s speaking about. Presumably simply vaguely referring to Kojima because the creator in such a approach, when his identify is probably going current everywhere in the video games’ credit, is only a approach of being well mannered.

Warnings like these have turn out to be extra widespread amongst older movies and tv exhibits, notably animation, which frequently featured racist caricatures and different such points that have been supposedly “of the time.” Kojima’s work by no means dips into that form of territory, although he’s additionally recognized for some sexist depictions of the feminine characters in his video games, so it is attainable the warning is referring to issues like that.
