Why was the thread about censorship in vidya deleted? The posts were fair.
>>321115252
Some mod is probably in a bad moon or preparing for the inflow of shitty threads that will come on Thursday.
>>321115495
What happens on Thursday?
>>321115645
sorry meant Friday when the lonely people come to shitpost for Christmas.
>>321115252
Because the fucking muh censorship fags keep making the same shitty threads with the same arguments and complaining that anybody who do not agree with them or is tired of the threads is an SJW, apologist or both..
>>321115797
Where do you think we are?
>>321115252
Is there an uncensored version of XCX yet?
>>321115252
We started criticizing women. So someone probably got buttmad.
>>321115797
Doesn't everyone go hope back to their families on Friday? Come on guys.
>>321115847
That wasn't true of that thread at all. With that cynical attitude, /v/ shouldn't exist at all.
>mods delete thread about current issues in video games
Meanwhile...
Mods and /v/ in general went full normie/SJW a few years ago.
This is really why we need a separate board for East and West vidya. Every time we make a thread about it though the normies always start crying
>P-P-PLEASE DON'T.
Because companies actually pay money to have their games advertised on this shithole and you can't expect a thread that shits on one of the games from the hardest shilling company out there.
>>321115930
I'm just bored because the MGQ thread was deleted even though it was mainly about lore and characters.
>>321116051
You forgot the LOL thread and the one where they are just talking about cartoons.
>>321115252
It's 2015, broham.
Better get used to censorship
>>321115252
>complaining about censorship on a website that promotes censorship
Lmao idiot. You can't even link to fu.llchan on here without a 30 day ban.
Let's face it, since GG happened any issues surrounding "censorship" have become taboo on this board. The moderators would prefer it if these discussions didn't take place.
It's the same whenever a thread about shoddy vidya journalism pops up. When Kotaku got blacklisted, threads were being deleted left and right for no good reason.
This is you, in your eyes you think you're part of a revolution, but everyone else sees you just a mad failture, just like a feminist
>>321116285
GG wasn't about censorship though. Why do people have to bring up GG now for every single issue in gaming?
>>321116285
Fuck that boogeyman. I'm tired of it being used by people as a way to shut down the opposition.
404 when?
Mods please dispose of this thread!
It's full of fascist cis scum!
>>321115252
censorship is a political issue use /pol/ for that type of discussion
>>321116285
I miss when /v/ was just /b/idya
>>321116383
And that's the thing nobody wants to admit.
>>321116531
What? Censorship in vidya is as much /v/ as can be.
>>321116383
Except it was created for our demographic, but for some reason localizers don't want us to be able to buy products we like unmolested. It's dumb, and since it's not like there's real alternatives, all I can do is not buy games that I would have otherwise bought. Or turn to piracy.
>>321116414
Why indeed?
>>321116414
A lot of people are. This place is turning into a self-made NeoGAF. You can't discuss anything anymore without outspoken members of the community shutting you down for various reasons. See: >>321116383
>>321116162
Yeah, but you're going to be here on christmas too, right?
Or do you just come here to give yourself a sense of superiority to be amongst "no life losers" such as us?
And I thought tripfags were pathetic.
Go to /pol/ if you want to talk about censorship.
>>321116531
Censorship in video games is a political issue?
Is this what politics is now?
>>321116649
>>321116763
censorship has always been a political issue
>>321115252
>Censoring censorship threads
ironic.
>>321116743
Yes!
Please don't talk about VIDEO GAME censorship on the video game board!
Ill use my superior chan knowledge to send you to other boards!
:DDDD
>>321116383
Im glad you found a way to feel superior to both
>>321116859
That's bullshit. Censorship in videogames and games not coming west due to self-censorship belongs on /v/.
>>321117013
No it doesn't. Fuck off.
>>321116949
if you want to talk about censorship go ahead just use the board for that type of discussion
>>321117013
if you aren't talking about the game itself you shouldn't make a thread about it on /v/
>>321116383
The one below is wrong: videogames are made for us, the gamers. We'd complain about things(I did a bit when I said that Dungeon Travelers 2 was too sexy) but I'd never call for censorship of any kind.
Any way I didplay it.
Reply to this post or else spooky meme man will get you!
>>321117320
Please keep me safe.
>>321116383
The game was created for /v/'s demographic, and then it was changed because it didn't cater to tumblr's demographic.
So your little edit of a comic shining you in a bad light doesn't make sense in this context.
Have some ecchi of naked women fully exposed in front of a massive crowd like the objectified objects they are.
>>321117220
So any thread that isn't related specificially to game is off-topic? Then you better dust up that delete button because I see fuck-ton of threads needing removal. Or does that rule only apply when it's the subject of censorship?
>>321117320
Please avoid me.
>>321117012
This, you're so fucking cool for posting how much you don't care about something in a thread about that thing. I just love how your indifference elevates you intellectually above people who are passionate about things they like or want. You're such a badass for making an entirely worthless post stating how you don't care and how people who care are stupid. Truly a timeless contribution, a fresh and unique perspective. I hope some day I can be as apathetic and vapid as you are, and enough of a prick to scream about my non-opinion.
>>321117459
it applies to plenty of things what other off topic threads are there right now?
>>321117451
Sauce? Google isn't helping.
I-I just want to complain about it. I'm definitely not a cis scum who wants to play it and fap to yummy, sexy women.
>>321115972
I don't have a family I'd want to go back to.
>>321117459
EXACTLY
I think hes talking about /vg/
>>321117628
There are plenty of threads not about one particular game or series up. Look around. Going to fucking /pol/ to talk about censorship in a medium they don't give a shit about is plenty dumb when we have a board dedicated to that very medium.
>>321117451
>>321116667
>>321117293
corporations switch target audiences all the time its just how capitalism works
http://www.4chan.org/rules#v
Rule 1 for /v/ -
All posts should pertain to video games, their consoles, and video game culture. Threads should remain on topic and stay in theme with the board. Don't post off-topic garbage.
If I'm not mistaken, video game censorship pertains to video game culture.
>>321117576
You know what it is? The apathetic edgy teenagers that flood this board. As the vidya game board, it attracts the highest number of newfags and underages, and it shows.
>>321117870
it doesn't matter if /pol/ scares you if you want to discuss political issues use that board
>>321117941
Rules don't matter around here.
Mods will continue to delete anything they don't like.
>>321118061
/pol/ won't give a shit that costumes were deleted from a game they didn't know even existed. See also>>321117941
Normies rule here.
I'll just enjoy my time with my girlfriend after this post. See ya fags. Enjoy your cuck fetishes.
>>321117941
>>321118246
its not apart of video game culture its a political issue
>>321118270
Congrats man, you're smarter than everybody else in this thread.
>>321117941
Mods are supposed to delete anything GG or SJW related on site. It's an unwritten rule here and sadly they sometimes do it with censorship threads because inevitably GG or SJW are brought up.
>>321117892
Yeah, sure its just switching target audiences and not just down right censoring a game because your girlfriend doesn't want her bull to get upset.
Have some festive ecchi where two girls are wrapped up like presents to be given to other people. They have no rights or respect, as they're just simple items, to be used to the superior gender's own discretion. Maybe forced to clean the house and keep the place tidy, or tied to the bed to receive their master's seed every night. Never speaking a word or protesting, like a good little pet. Expect they are lower than even pets. They're property.
>>321118340
>its not apart of video game culture
How the hell is social influences and censorship NOT videogame culture?
>>321115252
Because this isn't the same 4chan that existed in 2006.
>>321117451
So the ecchi fag finally posts some ecchi...
>>321117320
>immunitycat.png
>>321118483
for the same reason things like gg and sjw's aren't apart of video game culture
>>321118434
I want you to DM my ERP.
>>321117892
It does not make sense gor niche titles. Sorry man, just because some dialouge was changed and "offensive" content was removed from "Niche JRPG #44327" doesn't mean casuals are going to start buying it. They only thing they are accomplishing is pissing off the people who would buy their products initially.
>>321117892
>corporations switch target audiences
In video games? Rarely.
Nintendo hasn't since Famicom. And they probably won't for eternity(family-friendly games).
>>321118682
Video game censorship is part of game culture
>COD/e-celeb/PC part-picker/facebook/ threads reach 250+ replies daily
>Censorship threads get deleted.
Do I really need to explain it?
>>321116383
this
>>321118682
I'd argue that they unfortunately are. Either way, GG is really never brought up unless for boogeyman purposes. Mods should allow for discussion about cultural influences in games without letting fringe extremists dictate course of debate.
>Clothing changed to avoid an adults-only rating from ESRB
>Suddenly the entire game is "molested"
Tecmo Koei does sell straight-up porn, you know. You don't have to keep telling yourself that the only thing worthwhile about Fatal Frame is the lingerie costume that doesn't even get wet.
Just go import their porn.
>>321118856
I blame the recent influx due to that Undertale fiasco.
Now they are back/come here all feeling cozy because they think they are welcome.

Capitalism... is gay???
>>321116723
You're some fucking pretend dudebro weeb-hybrid yet you hate Japanese games. You are the worst tripfag there is.
If you don't want your game censored, then you should go let the developers and localizers know that somehow. That's what tumblrkins do and it apparently works. Shitposting about it on /v/ won't do anything just like shitposting on /pol/ won't stop leftists from destroying the world.
Now go write an email, cakeboy.
>>321118819
no its not
>>321119045
What do gay have to do with it?
They don't like censorship either
>>321116531
the "censorship" they're talking about isnt government related, it's just devs changing their portrayals of women to appease the majority.
>>321119130
Not to mention he also loves Nintendo.
>>321116012
/v/ exists for the same reasons why /pol/ exists.
To keep the retards contained in one area so you don't poison the rest of the site with untamed faggotry.
>>321116383
Not even a censorshipfag but this is the most retarded shit on /v/.
>you post dumb arguments on /v/?
>you're exactly the same as these people who post dumb arguments on tumblr, send death threats to content creators, actively encourage racism and sexism, get things they don't like off the market, and hold entire conventions dedicated to circlejerking over how great they are!

Yes it is

They are not mutually exclusive.

>>321119143
You'd be surprised - remember the huge uproar after paid mods for Skyrim?
Even then, huge mass protests of any sort just tend to get shut down or derided as extremists become more well known than the moderates.
Because criticism against nintendo is not tolerated here.
>complaining about censorship instead of learning japanese to play the true version
step it up senpai
>>321119143
I have been calling /v/ to do the same.
I'd wish you all listen to this advice. You can even send pics with your signs of protest, such as a pic of your dick, the game pirated by you or breaking the game secretly inside Gamestop.
>>321115252
Because one of the mods is Reggie.
>>321119340
And you all 4
We can do this all day, friend
>>321115252
It was deleted because you guys are fucking idiots and in the end you are going to get so deep down in your own bullshit that you actually start believing it.
Then you fucking morons are going to start #CensorGate and start employees of Nintendo that had nothing to do with the removed content. Then you are going to cry like babies when people tears your asses apart, exposing you for the manchildren you really are
"w-w-w-w-we are just misunderstood! WE REALLY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ETHICS OF CENSORSHIP!"
then you are going to end up on TV and everyone will associate gaming even more with hateful people.
Seriously, fuck you you dumb pieces of tinfoil-wearing shitfucks. Get a life.
>>321119252
Brah, there's been faGGots who have harassed and threatened back when it was a big thing.
Granted, there were some people who didn't approve of someone sending dog gore to that Allison chick, for example, but for every one who disapproved there were dozens of retards braying about it and making the entire movement look like ronery neckbeards or pedophilic sociopaths.

That's like saying that it's okay to post fanart of Tifa or Lulu or whoever the fuck getting reamed by a Chocobo is okay because you spoiled it and it featured vidya characters.
Censorship is a political issue that affects more than just vidya, which is why you people don't understand.
>>321119230
there is a star wars thread on /pol/ right now about the lightsabers right now its safe to assume that this type of discussion belongs on /pol/

>mods are "buttmad" for keeping vidya discussion about vidya
Sounds like you're the one who's buttmad.
>>321119723
Look at this falseflagging SJW trying to censor our opinions.
If Fire Emblem Fates gets heavily censored or if Genei Ibun Roku #FE does either, I will speed up development of my Wii U and 3DS homebrew and not Smealum grade shit.
Very serious.
The more I read about this shit and GG the more I realize that these topics should be banned.
Seriously these topics devolve into the same fucking outrage culture that SJW create and live in. Remember when people here didn't care about any issue whatsoever?
And seriously it's not like this issue doesn't have solution. Just pirate the game when it's available or import the game, but now you faggots get so fucking involved about this shit that forget about anything else.
>>321119859
>That's like saying that it's okay to post fanart of Tifa or Lulu or whoever the fuck getting reamed by a Chocobo is okay because you spoiled it and it featured vidya characters.
No because /v/ is a blue SFW board. Very poor example there.
>>321119189
>switching targets
>>321119967
>Sounds like you're the one who's buttmad.
Only about VIDEO GAME censorship.
>>321117013
No it doesn't.
It's the same shit as when certain books got banned because some psycho shot up some people and the government temporarily banned it from being in American libraries.
Just because the subject is vidya doesn't mean that it's vidya related, otherwise you could talk about shit like Adventure Time or Regular Show because they had vidya.
>>321119723
did you really just waste time to write a hatespeach against hate-speakers?
on /v/?
bro stop being so mad go ride a bike or something
>>321116949
Except that you cancerous /r9k/ refugees never keep the discussions to just video game censorship.

Most people ITT wouldn't be apathetic if faGGots didn't run the issue into the ground.
This is a legitimate social issue that will get worse before it gets better, but because dipshits turned "censorship" into another stupid ass meme, nobody cares and the issues gets filtered or banned because now it's akin to frogposting and shit.
Thanks a lot fags.
>>321119723
y u heff to b so med

But...Fatal Frame V was originally made for my demographic and it appealed to me.
The censorship made it a game no longer made for my demographic.
>these changes were NOT made for monetary reasons
>these changes were NOT wanted by the developers and publishers
game developers should be able to make their game however they like without fear of a multimillion dollar conglomerate like Gawker trying to shut them down for putting sexy women in their games.
>>321120307
Nobody cares about GG until it's used as boogeyman.
>>321120093
Which is obviously not what those threads end up solely being about, which you already knew.
>>321119730
Are you aware that pretending to be part of the group and doing stupid shit/inciting others to do stupid shit is a very common tactic to discredit your opposition and tarnish their public image?
Because that's what it was. Wu and ZQ were both caught trying to frame GG for self-perpetuated death threats/harassment, more than once, and the anonymous nature of 4chan posting makenit laughably easy to come in and begin to impersonate anons and try to make it look like they are a harassment group.
It's the new gamergate
>>321120269
all censorship discussion belongs on /pol/ hell there is an actual thread about trump censoring anime right now
>>321119025
Don't drag undertale into this mess.
If anything, you should be blaming the faggots who turned censorship into a buzzword.
>>321118434
Why do you always protect Nintendo unconditionally. Are you Japanese or something?
>>321120063
But annon i don't get it, why censor when you can just ignore the thread you don't like?
You find this topic stupid other people find other topics stupid, if we start banning every topic some1 finds not-acceptable (as if that means anything) for the site then we wont have anything to talk about in the end
>>321119730

>muh gamergate
But this isn't about GG
>>321119371
I never said I wasn't a retard anon.
I know why I'm here and I've come to accept it.
Ah, I'm beginning to see now. Censorship is going to be the buzzword boogeyman of 2016. For the last couple of years now it's been SJW (Read-anyone that doesn't conform to /v/'s own agenda), but /v/ is narrowing that down to rail impotently against what they perceive as censorship in any way, shape or form.
Exciting times for "funposting", circlejerks, general vitriol ahead, friends!
>>321120413
gawker cant shut them down. so why cower before them? the devs are at fault; no one is forcing them to change their games. some people are just saying they dont like their content.
>>321120478
I really can't think about males being offended by sexy objects unless they are gay.
It definitely has got to be women.
>>321120548

Who did that? Censorship isn't a buzzword.
>>321120546

No because its not the government that's doing what people are complaining but the developers
There is literally no law against it.

>>321120594
gamergate is about progressivism and sexism, so it is relevant

>>321116414
>Why do people have to bring up GG now for every single issue in gaming?
Because they're the people currently abusing others on the twitters as a reaction to "censorship"

You could post this shit on fucking /pol/ and nobody would give a shit since /pol/ is arguably an even bigger shithole whom the mods give less of a shit about.

Hello, Treehouse employee. I can tell it's one of you by the low quality of your writing.
This was in a game released on Nintendo systems and, in the case of the console versions, published BY Nintendo in the 90's - and it was a violent game released when people where losing their shit over violence in games.
Now? Now Nintendo is too afraid to show people how the gravure market mentally scars the "idols" in question (which is immediately relatable to current pop-singers and the like in the U.S.), or acknowledge that girls up-aged to 17 wear bikinis.
But that's okay. It's not censorship, after all. And Nintendo is too pussy to keep Killer Instinct, too.
>>321121285
you fags just keep making new threads that's why they don't delete them
>>321121212
>>sexualization of women of games discourages them from playing
only ugly women.
>>321121212
>sexualization of women of games discourages them from playing
Blame women for being too stupid to ignore games not made for them. There are a lot of games that they can play and just ignore things like most Japanese games.
This won't even be an issue had they ignored it instead of saying "its problematic".
>>321121408
Or because the rules explicitly states this belongs on /v/.

I talk to people who I look down on condescendingly, which includes /r9k/ refugee cancer who derail vidya threads with their baggage and then complain when mods delete it. If the threads stuck purely to video game censorship they'd survive. But you fags gotta be the opposite side of the same attention whoring, SJW coin and the mods are rightly sick of it.
>>321121662
that's not relevant most /pol/ threads don't have any politicians in them
>>321120708
If someone made a change to a game, it's called censorship.
If the devs made the decision of their own free will, it's called self-censorship.
I've heard people claim that fucking edits, as in fixing a spelling mistake or cutting out unnecessary bullshit from a written work, was censorship.
At this point, anything that isn't improvisation is censorship and honestly, rather than playing into the delusion, I'd rather just distance myself from it and say "whatever happens, happens."
Especially when any talk of censorship is headed by a picture that could only be appealing to waifufags and never talks about anything other than name or costume changes.

Yes and? If you are catering to one side of the spectrum how are you alienating potential customers? You don't.
If games feature eye candy for men, such chances that the said game IS for men.

What happens when a corporation abandons or under serves their core audience? They die.
Look at the current comics industry. All these sjw brownie points and still no profit. If marvel wanted to expand to a new market, they could do so, without sacrificing the integrity of their product or backstabbing their existing consumer base. It's not that thor is a women or that miss marvel is mulsim. It's the way they went about promoting it; 'about how we are in a new age of comics and fuck you straight white men we dont need you anymore.' What happened? Marvel is losing market share to DC bad. It used to be 50/50, now marvel is 25% and dropping.
Same with the new star wars. Young white males have no good guy to identify with and they aren't buying the toys. I had a conversation with my 6 year old in toys r us why he didn't want any star wars toys. Because he didn't like finn or rey, but he liked kylo but didn't want to buy a bad guy toy. So I bought him mario maker instead for christmas.
You want to switch your target audience fine. Dont come crying back to your core consumer base, begging for forgiveness.
>>321121205
Annon i don't think you get it, if you start banning threads that are linked thematicly to the board just because 'there is a more shitty board that you can post your bullshit opinion on' there wont be any thread topics on the board other than the marketing ones (because anyone can make the case of a thread being off topic for some retarded reason).
No matter how stupid a subject is it is the nature of the site to let it go on. In the end no one forces you to give your input in the thread you can just skip it for the other one that you like
>>321122172
women play games as much as men. it's a fact.
so devs shouldnt be catering to one side of the spectrum if they want to make more money.
most of the time the eye candy is unnecessary, though, so you might as well remove it to appeal more to women.
>>321122495
You sound very butthurt.
>>321122451
Well, Mortal Kombat 1 is the only instance I can think of, since the Genesis version being uncut did help sales.
HOWEVER, the SNES port was still the better game in terms of how it looked, sounded, and performed. No gore though, which is the entire fucking point of Mortal Kombat. If something in a game being censored is reason enough for the game to lose it's entire appeal, it was not a very good game to begin with.
That said, the sequels were much better.
>>321122508

SJW vs. anti-SJW is the "Christians vs. /r atheism" of this generation. Neither side can shut the fuck up. No discourse anywhere is safe from this shit being mentioned. Both groups seem to build their entire identities or at least their online presence around these banal talking points.
One side is full of delusional self-righteous assholes, the other side of full of immature self-righteous assholes. I'm an atheist and I hate "SJWs" but I hate the fucking ubiquity of this shitty conversation so much more.
It's inescapable though. Young people love to be outraged and love feeling self-important. One day you will realize you are the same, maybe when the next gen is arguing about transhumanism or something.
>>321121827
>I've heard people claim that fucking edits, as in fixing a spelling mistake or cutting out unnecessary bullshit from a written work, was censorship.
>cutting out unnecessary bullshit
What do you define as unnecessary, anon? Correcting spelling mistakes is one thing, but what right does anyone have to cut content from a written work? If it was the author themselves, perhaps they felt it didn't work.
But cutting/changing content out of fear of someone else's sensibilities is indeed self-censorship. It's a real thing. Ideally, no artist should have to stifle themselves.
>>321122451

>>321122458
KT deciding not to localize DOAX3 was still a decision that they made of their own free will to placate angry feminists who probably weren't customers in the first place.
It's no different than devs who cut out features and options from their games just to appeal to "a wider audience" and honestly, this is probably the best hand we could've been dealt since we still get an English translation, the content won't be cut during localization, and the fans will be able to purchase the game from import without having to deal with retailer drama here in the states.
>>321122564
>so devs shouldnt be catering to one side of the spectrum if they want to make more money.
I'm sorry but devs have every right to pander to anyone. Freedom is everyone's right.
Being forced to change their works because someone sent them angry letters is censorship and is disgusting.
What's unnecessary are women playing video games. The Golden Age of gaming survived without them playing.

you're exactly right, they have the right to pander to anyone. but whether you like it or not, women play games, so devs are going to try to appeal to men and women to maximize profits.

Not when you keep making the same bullshit threads over and over again like twitter feminists who smell blood in the water.
To be honest, the thing that has ruined this site the most are the faggots who are so concerned with smelling out corruption that they derail threads left and right and force most of the decent posters off to circlejerk on the same issues.
You can't talk about certain games you like without being accused of being a shill.
You can't bring up political views that go against the hivemind without being called an SJW, redditor, tumblrina, etc.
You can't talk about certain video games without someone popping in to accuse you of being circlejerkers.
While all the same time, threads that are only tangibly related to the board are allowed to reach 500+ replies because people are too stupid to recognize bait and the mods don't give a fuck anymore because the board has gotten so bad over the years.

women play "games" as much as men. learn the difference
also, there is nothing wrong with having a target audience. most HOGs are based on MCs who are young adult/middle aged women, because guess who their target audience is. where's the outrage?
>>321122496
I backed Indivisible for $60 and I'm one of the biggest anti-SJWs you'll ever meet. Why do you assume people who want a game made by the Skullgirls developers, that actually looks like a good game has to be a SJW? It's like calling San Andreas a "win for SJWs" because people didn't mind that the game had a black protagonist. Most people don't care that much about that.
Also calling it a success is silly considering it was about to fail until and they had to extend the campaign by 30 days, we're lucky it didn't end up like the Dragon's Lair thing.
>>321123271
>You can't bring up political views that go against the hivemind without being called an SJW,

93% of the Wii U eShop is male, and no woman would skip out on a game because of a fucking optional costume only available on subsequent playthoughs they'd never have to use. By implying this, you're saying women are weak and need to babied and everything they enjoy to be completely sanitized. That's retarded, and it's encouraging this mentality.

>>321123163
again, the eye candy is usually unnecessary. in a game like doax3, yeah, partial nudity is the point. but in fps, mmo, and rpg games it's stupid. men are going to play them regardless of whether or not the women are half naked, so you might as well present women well to appeal more to women.
>>321122954

>>321122661
>What do you define as unnecessary, anon?
Anything the either undermines or distracts from the main point that the paper is trying to make.
Like spending 1.5 pages talking about the creation of the light bulb when the primary subject is electricity or Nikola Tesla or something else like that.
>But cutting/changing content out of fear of someone else's sensibilities is indeed self-censorship.
How is it stifling themselves if they're doing of their own free will?
I mean, there are times when I'm about to post something offensive on facebook or twitter but then I stop myself because, overall, it's not worth starting shit just because I felt a certain way at a particular point in time.
I mean, sometimes, an author doesn't necessarily realize how flawed their ideas are when looked at from another perspective, which is why you have editors who go in and cut content when needed.
When people are allowed to go with whatever dumb idea pops into their head, you get shit like Jar Jar Binks or Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon.
>>321123742
A lot of /v/ was actually supporting the game for the first 1-2 weeks of the campaign you can see it in the archive, you just weren't here for the threads. It's only after the game got constant threads for weeks that it attracted all the shitposting.
>>321123728
That's for devs to decide and no one to complain about.
But then women complain about everything.
I think it's really better if they just stop playing games they don't like rather than ruin it for everyone, like the guy who spent hours making that sexy model.
>>321123408

You're obviously not one of the "biggest anti-SJWs you'll ever meet" given that you're not irrationally, hysterically triggered by the low percentage of white people, the lack of fanservice and the tumblresque artstyle.
>>321123048
We'd still be having this issue in some way, shape, or form if enough people saw the product and decided to take personal offense to it for some reason.
If Feminists didn't exist, it's be christian authorities, concerned parents, governors, or other types of idiots who equate video games to reality in some way.
>>321123938

So stick to your Candy Crush games instead of sperging out over niche Jap console games made for 20 or so aged men.
NoA censorship bullshit is not related to SJW lardniggers though, that's just their decades old policy of being "family friendly" according to burgerland standards
>>321123728
>men are going to play them regardless of whether or not the women are half naked
But more people are gonna play them if they have things they actually enjoy more. If you make your game a generic, unattractive mess, people will be less inclined to buy it, or to stick with it.
That's like saying GTA5 would sell more if it was completely politically correct, nothing offensive. No, it's the opposite, it would lose a lot of its appeal and it would've never sold over 50M copies.
>>321124080
No it isn't. Because pedophilia rights are part of SJW concern. They advocate Pedophilia rights as part of neo-progressive ideals.
>>321124120
>If Feminists didn't exist, it's be christian authorities, concerned parents, governors, or other types of idiots who equate video games to reality in some way.
At the very least I get where they are coming from. Feminist are just angry some 3D model is sexier than them and they are being ignored by males.
>>321122998
Didn't Mugen Souls also have terrible gameplay and horrible dubbing?
You could argue that censorship could've played a part but it still doesn't mean that it was the primary reason why the game ended up selling like shit.
I'm talking about a game that would've sold amazingly if not for the fact that it was censored in some way.

If the author had every intent to go wildly off topic about light bulbs, then it's not right to remove that section.
If the author looked at it and simply didn't feel it fit, and then decided to remove it before publication, it's fine.
Sex appeal does none of this, however, and oftentimes the suggestive content cut is that which you'd have to go out of your way for. There is nothing "distracting" about an item that does not come up unless you look for it. And it's the player's right to look for it.
And yes anon, you stifle yourself when you make those decisions.
>an author doesn't necessarily realize how flawed their ideas are
>ideas

So basically just because one perspective would see flaws is a reason to rob everyone else of said idea, then? Fuck off.
>>321124554
Just look at Wikipedia:
>Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children, generally age 11 years or younger.[1][2] As a medical diagnosis, specific criteria for the disorder extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.[1] A person who is diagnosed with pedophilia must be at least 16 years of age, but adolescents must be at least five years older than the prepubescent child for the attraction to be diagnosed as pedophilia.[1][2]
DIAGNOSED? No. Pedophilia is a choice and pedos deserve to be put to death.
