Two parkour athletes are concerned for the protagonist’s knees.
Apparently it’s possible to be guilty of a “hate crime to parkour.”
The pair took issue with Yasuke using his knee to ascend a ledge, laughing while addressing the problem.
“You’ll be canceled out of any parkour community around the world,” said Benj.
Yeah, that’s brutal."
Yasuke is one of two playable characters in the game, with Naoe serving as the more agile option.
Basically, the duo explained that parkour should never include utilizing your knees to climb up somewhere.
The same is true for your elbows, since those actions are terrible for your joints.
