Still not censorship.
>i'm going to repeat it until it's true
SJWs, everyone
>>318107432
this will be censored in the final release
Absolutely no one forced them to censor. They did this entirely of their own volition.
Self censorship is still censorship.
>>318108034
Exactly. It's not censorship, it's cowardice.
>>318108034
People would rather invent reasons to argue and shitpost than actually sit down and calmly assess the situation.
It's why GG was so successful on here and why people are crawling over one another to import DOAX3 even though it has half the features and twice the DLC.
This place is irredeemable senpai, look at this guys over here >>318108121 >>318108158
>>318108158
So it's cowardice unless they're sticking it to SJW's.
Then it's worth paying $200 to import shitty games just to stick it to imaginary spectres in the dark rather than blaming the industry for all the shit that they've pulled, in addition to cowtowing self-important feminists.

I think that may have been OP's point.
You see, he was utilising a very clever technique called sarcasm.
It's very rare on the internet, but it's always hilarious.
>>318108314
All decisions made by the devs to appeal to a wider audience.
Not censorship.
>>318108451
CENSOR THIS
>>318108491
All decisions made because of fear of SJW backlash.
Censorship.
DOAX3 isn't censorship, they just decided not to release the product in the West

>>318107340
>>318107557
>>318107432
These are all censorship, except the Mika and BS pics don't show the censored versions

This is a marketing decision.
>>318106938
This is censorship.
>>318107340
This is also censorship.
>>318107432
This is standard editing while in original development.
>>318107557
This is censorship.
Does Christbro think censorship make these games more Christian?
What's with the Wii games?
calling SJWs out on censoring games really triggers them
>>318108034
Self censorship our of fear of retribution is censorship
>Not being able to publish a media product out of fear
This is the textbook definition of censorship
>>318106938
What the fuck did they do to her leggs?
>>318108034
Yeah, just like American authors in the 50s weren't censored because they could have written anything they wanted
After all, the only negative consequences would have been a trial :^)
>>318108852
out of fear of what? SJW's calling their game bullshit..damn, sounds scary
what a joke..lol
It's a business decision based on the perception of a foreign market. Kinda like how Inticreates thought removing half the text in Gunvolt was fine because Americans don't like reading.
>>318108624
Which they felt was a sound business decision which would attract a wider audience.
Not censorshipThe only ones who give stock in SJW's are either SJW's themselves or dipshits like /v/ that want to fight against boogiemen even when it's clear as day that they aren't actually doing anything.Before you cite DOAX3, the whole thing is a marketing scam meant to draw in controversy, like Hatred or Dragon's Crown.

Who's going to sue them because they have bikini girls in their game?
>>318109009
Fucking slit your throat SJW. Your kind is cancer to the world.
>>318107557
this is cultural censorshit. one of new standards of censorshit in america.
>>318106562
It technically isn't censorship but assuming the CM wasn't bullshitting, it was a decision heavily influenced by a group of people (who weren't even the target market for the game).
>>318108034
>When people don't pander to your worldview, harass them on social media, run a smear campagin, and do everything in your power to get them fired, and destroy the game

They were forced.
>>318109009
>attract wider audience
That audience never will buy it no matter what's changed, or added to appeal to them. It's censorship.

So for the American version they fucked her proportions so she wouldn't look hot. They tried to make a child, but made a dwarf instead

But seriously, both sides of this GG/SJW bullshit absolutely reek of McCarthyism.

The only ones who didn't have shovelware were consoles that either nobody bought or nobody could be arsed to program for.

Never said it was a smart business decision, just said that it was probably a better explanation than assuming that SJW's have found a way to harass an Asian company that probably can't even understand English, let alone understand whatever the fuck they're on about.

>>318109046
If it was done in the original editing process before any official release, like the Street Fighter 5 stuff, its fine.
Changes made after the original official release in reaction to public or internal outcry, including localization teams who had no involvement in the original creation of the product changing the product to suit their own tastes or those of their own culture, thus robbing a product of its own inherent cultural identity, is censorship and thus wrong.

It's safe to say when it involves Nintendo games, and treehouse has their hands on it, it's actual censorship though. There's zero denying it if you've seen who the treehouse employees are.

How dare the internet censor valve's decision to introduce paid mods!
Responding to public outcry isn't censorship, it's a business decision. It becomes censorship when the government responds to public outcry and changes regulations.

Nah. Trying to censor Bayonetta was a shitty thing to do, regardless of how successful it was.

>>318109723
Treehouse employees are simply doing it because they get paid by the hour not by the edit.
Rather than doing it simply to lick SJW boot, they're doing it so that they can earn more money by inventing reasons for why most of the game needs to be censored.
If anything, this shows how fucked up localization companies are rather than how SJW's have any real pull in the industry.Though I suspect Allison is spiteful since that one fag spammed her inbox with dog gore but that's unproven.
>>318109046
They don't exist in a vacuum completely isolated form outside pressure stupid. You think capcom employees went through all that trouble of animating Mika's butt slap just so they could pan the camera up so you can't see it?

>IT'S A FEMINIST CONSPIRACY
>>318109965
You think Capcom employees made the game as a labor of artistic love?
In the case of SJWs attacking indie devs, sure, you've got a point - one person can't stand up to a group of angry people and win - at least not often. If they're pulled from greenlight or whatever, that's terrible. An individual almost certainly is making a game that they want to be making, not just doing it for profit.
This is not the case with a company. A company can stand up to the world and tell it to go fuck itself. A company creates items without emotion in the interest of profit.
>>318110126
if you go on those sites you deserve it tbqh
>>318109965
Games change all the time during development you idiot. People do a lot of shit that ends up getting axed or changed later in development.
Stuff that gets changed from a third party for localization is "justified" because they want to broaden their audience to maximize profits, however they are also alienating the people who are interested in the game enough to know what the original version looked like, which could lead to less sales.
>>318109169
Why do you assume the audience is tumblr SJWs?
make it look slightly less like fap bait, and you might pull in people other than weeaboos.
>>318110254
>People do a lot of shit that ends up getting axed or changed later in development.
And why do you think they did it?
>>318109993
There's a difference between being an SJW who posts feminazi blog posts on tumblr and being a politician/educator/developer/etc. that agrees with their ideology.
I mean, on paper, it sounds like something everyone should be a part of, until you realize how it's being run like a mafia racket and how anyone who disagrees with them gets blacklisted as a sexist/racist/rapist/pedo/etc. until their reputation is destroyed.
Unfortunately, most of the shady shit that SJWs do isn't really focused upon in the general media, so someone can go in thinking that they're a crusader against injustice only to discover that everyone around them is batshit insane and willing to ruin their life if they disagree with anything that they say.
Not to mention, politicians invent stances for/against the current social ideology all the time, especially if it's a lobbyist who pays for their support.
Again, more likely to think of this as ignorance or political corruption than SJWs actually having any pull in society outside of the internet.

Nobody's saying censorship is good. People are saying censorship isn't primarily driven by 15 year old Tumblrites.
>>318110273
Because they're the only people that actually get bothered by these things? Any normal person would just ignore it rather than act like a child and whine over every game with a girl that has even the slightest of cleavage showing.
>>318106562
No, it's just refusing to localize a game out of fear of persecution, not censorship
>>318106938
>>318107340
these are censorship
>>318107432
this really depends on the motive behind the change since the game was still in development and arbitrary changes always happen, but they might have done it for the worst reasons

Anyone can write a shitty article senpai, it's not like any of the journalists for those sites have any accountability or credibility.
They're clickbait articles, and you'd have to be a fool to believe them to be anything but.
>>318110347
Because it no longer fits their vision of what they want to final product to look like. They changed the character art in the HUD multiple times, they have also updated the faces of characters to make them look more attractive. It is all because that is what they want the final product to look at.
Unless you have proof they they were "pressured" into changes, you are just talking out your ass.
>>318110126
I haven't read their articles because if I wanted low quality shit i'd look up scat porn, but taking a roundabout guess it's accurate to say that a 'gamer' identity is redundant.
In a world where retards play things on facebook that technically qualify as games and where even your grandmother has played tetris and snake, identifying as a 'gamer' is quite pointless.
sure, we all know what you mean when you say 'gamer', but operating purely on the actual meaning of the term [one who plays games] it's stupid.
it doesn't help that shit like 'hardcore gamer' sounds tryhard as fuck.

And overlook the product entirely.
Lots of small things shape your perception of something you don't know much about. One woman wearing too little clothing might be enough to convince some normalfags that it's neckbeard fap bait instead of a worthwhile game. Nobody fucking cares what people are saying on Tumblr.

To whoever made this list... when you're talking about a thing, put the title of that thing ABOVE the paragraph talking about it, not underneath and off to the side. This is formatting 101 dipshit.

The articles are mostly about how we need to wipe the slate clean because gamers are dirty misogynists and hateful and blah blah blah
They weren't talking about Grandma playing FarmVille.
And the gamer identity is one of an enthusiast. You don't call yourself a gamer if all you play is Solitaire on your phone.
It just happens that, unlike other media, gaming started as an enthusiast medium so they didn't need a word that spoke to that enthusiasm, because it was inherent.

>>318111025
>>318110958
SJW's can't do nothing unless people give them the power.
Koei didn't have to make their game import only.
They didn't need to mention SJWs and their agendas as being the reasons why the game wasn't coming to America.
But they did, inventing this shitstorm outta nowhere, because they're businessmen who realize that they'd get customers from their fans and people who want to spite SJWs.
Yet somehow, the idea that a business is making a move to make money is less plausable than the notion that SJWs have control over what a company decides to release stateside.

Jesus christ what's wrong with his face?
>>318111526
Are you being purposely facetious or are you genuinely this retarded?
It costs money to market a game, to distribute it and to localize it. If the game is not going to make a profit in certain locales - say, anywhere outside of Japan - then there is no point in releasing it in those locations.
There's a reason there's no urdu translation of GTA 5, and it's not because someone at rockstar decided WHY MAKE BILLIONS WHEN YOU CAN MAKE... THOUSANDS
>>318111703
DOAX have sold better in the west than in Japanese.

>>318106938

>>318111703
1. DOAX has always sold better outside of Asia, ergo, the West
2. DOAX3 has a version which has English Subtitles for the Former British Colonies of Hong Kong and Singapore, which are mainly English speaking
Thus, localizing it is not needed. Distribution is not going to cost so much that it isn't profitable, especially in an area where it's sold the most.
tl;dr, shitty and unsubstantiated 'argument' which is completely against objective fact.
>>318111703
>comparing the United States of America, one of the largest entertainment markets in the world, to a 3rd world country that doesn't use toilet paper.
Uh... yeah. Clearly you're not the retard in this conversation. Because localizing a game for the US is clearly just like localizing a game for Pakistan.
>>318110796
Koei Tecmo literally said "SJW nonsense" was the reason they feared backlash for releasing the game in the west.
I'm against censoring and all that shit but I wanna point out something funny
>Lightning, one of the most asexual character of all video game history
>Has lewd costumes in Lightning Returns
>That's pretty gross and out of character
>Fantasyfags -yes, gamers- bitching to remove the costumes because it's not Lightning
No censoring.
why those woman keep bitching on video game?
they dun have any boyfriend to fuck?
I should start writing blogs about how [obvious vaporware products] are offensive to me as a straight white klansman.
Then when they inevitably aren't released I can take credit, even though my fictional kkk identity would have no credibility whatsoever.
>>318111703
>If the game is not going to make a profit in certain locales - say, anywhere outside of Japan - then there is no point in releasing it in those locations.

PA's twitter count fucking doubled in 24 hours since they made their original post.
Do you honestly think that a company would
a) Not localize a game that sold well outside their country
b) Directly cite SJWs as the reason why it wasn't coming stateside
If it wasn't to generate controversy to get people outside the demographic to become aware of it?
I mean, Hatred and Dragon's Crown worked off the same principle and companies tend to repeat strategies that worked out in the past.
Just saying.

It's been said about 200 times, unfortunately all of those times were after that post. Simply saying something a lot doesn't send the message back in time.
>>318112158
Way to miss the point, retard.
Exporting the game to the west yields a larger profit than NOT exporting the game to the west. So this idea that "it's a marketing choice to not export it so they'll make more money" is just idiotic lies.

Nice outing yourself, you sjw faggot. Dragon's crown is made by one of my favourite companies and they are well known by fans to make high quality games. The fact that you think large tits wasn't an homage to traditional japanese culture, and instead think it's a ruse to sell more copies to "perverts" just goes to show how full of shit you actually are.
>>318112336
ok this is obviously bait...
>>318112259
From what I have seen, /v/ is all about niche fap material games. The only people against it are shitposters invading threads as usual.
From the looks of it you got influenced by that and believed it to be fact. Are you often convinced by poorly constructed, one sided arguments?
>>318112474
You're right, but I replied anyway because some retards do believe that nonsense.
No, being a coward who censors a work means you're a coward. The raging cunts did not censor the game because they do not have the authority over such things in any way. They can hold their breath until they're blue and it won't matter.
The publisher has the word and if they are cowards, they will change these things.
>>318112207
>I mean, Hatred and Dragon's Crown worked off the same principle
Dragon's Crown was just a modern incrimination of the classic Japanese beat'em up. It was by no means trying to do anything controversial, let alone milk it for publicity.
>>318106562
technically it isn't censorship it's chilling effect and ironically people in the name of sjw (equality etc) bullying a niche audience
>>318112336
>Do you extend this logic to bullies causing people to commit suicide?
I mean
It happens
If you make someone's life miserable and then they blow their brains out, then maybe you made it happen. At least in part.
Unfortunately that scenario is hard to reverse engineer. Would they have killed themselves if they weren't bullied? Not like we can ask.

Don't forget, SJWs literally got Hatred pulled from Steam. It wasn't a marketing ploy by the guys who made Hatred, it was literally censored by a SJWs smear campaign. So if you're saying that it was all planned by the game creators you're just digging yourself deeper into a hole of lies.
>>318112418
You'd honestly be surprised how deep some companies would go to generate profit.
>>318112453
Do you always put words in people's mouths when you encounter sound logic anon?
Because I never implied that Dragon's Crown was only popular because of titties, only that it sold more copies due to the controversy surrounding it.
>>318112597
Well my point here is that telling somebody to kill themselves isn't murder and telling somebody to censor a game doesn't mean that person censored a game.
Don't overthink it or anything.
>>318112591

>>318112476

Are you?
Because this is basically the same shit that /v/ has been saying since they started bitching about FFV's release.
>>318109169
>yfw rhetoric is: 'then it shouldn't exist!'
>>318112591
It still profited off of the controversy generated between SJWs and the like.
I'm not trying to say that DC isn't a damn good game, I'm just saying that they moved more copies because people became aware of it through association with the clickbait articles surrounding it.
>>318111237
>Something Awful
There's your problem.
>>318112665
But purposefully creating an environment conducive to an action doesn't absolve you of guilt when the action takes place.
It'd be like if Jigsaw said "it's not my fault he sawed off his leg!"
Did Jigsaw saw the leg off himself? No, but without his influence the sawing would have never happened.
>>318109543

>>318111025
/thread
Simply put, the SJWs want the publishers to censor themselves, which according to the SJWs isn't censorship... But it IS.
The motivation for game publishers to not publish certain games is steering clear of a shitstorm, which is exactly what SJWs are ready to give them the moment they put out a game they don't approve of.
>>318112158
EU and NA comprise 80% of DOAX's sales.
The only reason you would cut off that big of a chunk is out of fear, not because you think it will get you a bigger market, because it won't. There is currently a rather large cloud of fear floating around devland and for the most part it is spurred on by assholes being quick to throw awful labels on people simply because they didn't cater to their every need or want. People need to grow the fuck up and learn that the market is there for all different people and to just grow the fuck up and let it work the way it is supposed to instead of bullying other people around in it.
KT regularly sells games in those territories that sell quite a bit fewer copies than DOAX does does, so that isn't really a reason they wouldn't do it. This is the reason things like the PSN are such a wonderful addition to our gaming systems. It gives companies a far less expensive way to get titles to us that might not have been profitable to do so otherwise.
>>318112885
No point, either way that argument is a free pass.
>>318107557
How is it bad to do a caricature of one group of people, but okay to do so to another?
No closeup on Mika's ass slap might have been to keep a T ESRB rating.
>>318113036
Because one caricature is white and the other is not.
>>318112665
This comparison would only make sense if the socially expected response to being bullied is to kill yourself.
Seeing as this isn't Sparta in 300BC, I doubt said person not killing themselves would generate a large social lash-back.
>>318113080
ESRB doesn't work that way. You submit your product and they give a rating, the end. They don't advise on what to censor to change ratings.
>>318112982
To be fair, in most cases they're just being cowards.
Shitstorms die down and normal people don't even care about Twitter shitstorms.
>>318112634
>Prove it.
Dragon's Crown was Vanillaware's best selling game by a large margin in comparison to their other games.
Fuck, even Hatred ended up selling more units than it honestly deserved.
>It wasn't a marketing ploy by the guys who made Hatred, it was literally censored by a SJWs smear campaign.
Then that controversy led to more controversy which eventually led to the game being put back on steam's market anyways.
If that didn't happen, it'd just be another edgy game banking off of being offensive as possible.
>>318113036
Because white people aren't a socially protected special interest group.
>>318107340
this is censored? what was the original?
>>318113146
That's not true at all.
AFAIK, they'll review the submitted product and tell you which aspects affected the rating in which manner. They work with developers to get the game on the morally "correct" track.
>>318112876
The man could've sawed through the chain, he could've sawed through the screw holding the manacle together, etc.
The point is that he could've sawed through anything else aside from his own leg.
>>318113146
why do you assume?
you are full of shit
>>318113146
>You submit your product and they give a rating, the end
You can censor it to avoid having to submit it twice.
>>318113146
Yes they do.
>>318106562
Neither was this, but it's still shit we could do without.
>>318113291

how the fuck can you saw a fucking piece of metal?
>>318113146
>You submit your product and they give a rating, the end.
Uh, no?
They get told why it was rated that way and the developer is free to resubmit it with changes in order to reach the target rating
>>318112982
this so much
sjw always go 'oh i'm not for censorship but there really should be some rule or way to get rid of the things i find offensive' and are lapping up the idea that devs 'creatively decided to not do something' [fear of reprisal and backlash aka censorship]
>>318113578
>how the fuck can you saw a fucking piece of metal?
>japs being cowards
what else is new?
they can't even fuck to save their race
>>318113146
ESRB is a joke they get a random set of people to watch some of the footage and if someone gets offended it gets rated M, usually tits or even bikinis (no nudity)
>>318113470
As shit as this was, I still find it preferable to making every other cape comic as grungy, bloody, and sexual as possible just to appeal to the college kids who grew up with it.
I mean, it's like being back in the dark age of comics where artists and writers were more concerned with being edgy than making a decent plot.
>>318113401
oh man, those $100 is sooo expensive
>>318113253
Except Dragon's Crown "publicity" wasn't requested by Vanillaware. It was caused by an idiot being a retard.
And Hatred was pulled due to smear campaigns, NOT at the request of the developer requesting the smear campaign.
Did controversy leak to greater sales? Likely.
But if you're gonna try to leak a conspiracy between games that likely wouldn't sell as well as they did WITHOUT controversy, then you're gonna have to provide a direct link between the individual/groups involved and the game studios.
Not a Causal Link between "Controversy = Greater Sales". Because THAT has existed since the first time a woman bartered sexual use of her body for money/goods.
>>318108798
This picture is everything wrong with the whole CENSORSHIP witch hunt.
It's never ACTUALLY about censorship (The alteration or omission of content to fit an agenda or ideal)
It's about a bunch of 15 year olds getting bent out of shape because their game won't have as many boobs as they thought.

>>318113253
That doesn't mean the controversy was fabricated by the game's creators.
In the cases of Dragon's Crown and Hatred it literally wasn't fabricated controversy, and there's no reason to think that the current "DOAX3 controversy" was all an elaborate ruse, either.
I doubt many people were "on the fence" about whether or not they were going to get DOAX3 before this controversy began, and if you weren't going to get it, I don't see how this would change your mind.
>You know, DOAX3 doesn't really appeal to me. I don't like volleyball, I don't like anime, and I don't like softcore eroge... but because of the twitter shitform I'm going to get it now.
Seems far-fetched to me.

Who's fault is it in either result?
>>318113739
time is money and it costs more than $100 to wait.
>>318113821
what do you mean?
>>318113321
Even still, you've cut yourself to 20% of previous market to try to fill your profit margin from. That is a lot of cost to recoup from a much smaller market.
They have already localized the game, canning it for even digital distro makes no sense. There shouldn't be enough risk to justify that kind of cut. Especially since you have already put in the money to localize it. If you are going to can a region because of not wanting to distribute there, you would have done it long before this point. You don't have to waste the money on marketing if you don't want to, but you should at least try to recoup your development costs that you sunk into localizing it.
>>318113873
im not going to read your post but DC had no hidden agenda to sell but Hatred did

I know some of the projects Microsoft has had in the past were close to $1M a day in development costs.
>>318114008
I'm am going to read your post but I'm not going to treat you like an adult.
Whether or not Hatred had an agenda to sell isn't the point here, the point is Hatred didn't pull itself from the Steam store to generate controversy. Hatred was the victim of a smear campaign that hilariously backfired.
>>318112876
>It'd be like if Jigsaw said "it's not my fault he sawed off his leg!"
Threatening somebody's life/property/etc. is not what the raging cunts ever seemed to be doing.

>>318113807
Aside from it being structured like a retard did it, it includes shit that isn't even censorship. It just tracks things some retards complained about in addition to things companies changed (because publishers are cowards).
>>318114287
but it is censoring though
>>318114263
nah
>>318113791
The point I'm making is that the controversy helped to generate more sales/exposure for the game than if there wasn't any.
Think about it,
They wanted to pull support for the game in order to avoid controversy but then they let PA make a bunch of twitter posts that exist for no other reason than to piss off SJWs?
Either this is a bid to generate controversy to increase sales/exposure of Koei is even dumber than I gave them credit for.
>>318113807
I found the SJW. Right here.
>>318114287
Actually, some people do get bent out of shape at censorship, full stop.
>>318114287
But I'm against censoring other things as well.
Remember how the Xbox version of Conker's censored the cursing? That was bullshit.
>>318113879
Obviously the guy for being so much of a piece of shit that Jigsaw targeted him in the first place.
>>318114287
So censoring blood and gore is wrong
Censoring tits is fine though
>>318110352
SJW's aren't even really the left wing academics, SJW's are more like, a gross misunderstanding of left-wing ideology mixed with the fact the internet lets you be a shithead. No respected academic however fucking neomarxist would push the kind of shit SJW's say, or if they do, they usually get fired, like this one guy, can't remember the name, who published a paper saying 9/11 was justified vengeance against american "little eichmanns".

Actually it might have been the CERO ratings board. SF games in Japan always carry a B rating (12+), although MVC3 manage to get a C rating (15+), a game like Senran Kagura Burst manage to get a D rating (17+) and that was rated T by the ESRB.
Why do they care so much about what games we play at home. Jesus fucking Christ. Its not like it effects them with we play a giant titty murder rape simulator.

Ahh...yes, it was.
The CCA was created specifically to censor depictions of violence and sexuality in comics. Before the CCA, Batman wouldn't give a fuck if a criminal died. After? He refused to even consider killing even the Joker.
Stories went from interesting anti-heroes and villains who would triumph to moralistic lessons that "Bad is Bad and only Stupids are Bad".

I mean yeah, the CCA basically FORCED the creation of most of the characters we know now and put an end to the glut of Horror comics that were out there, but it put a HUGE squash on any and all comics that featured "strong leading women". Even Wonder Woman had to have a male lead/prince until later years.
We can all be glad that the CCA no longer exists.

no one wants to stop them from speaking; we just need people to have perspective that "misogynist" is a meaningless term these days.

>Hatred didn't pull itself from the Steam store to generate controversy. Hatred was the victim of a smear campaign that hilariously backfired.
Hatred intentionally created (either by starting themselves, or by baiting for it.) such a campaign for PR reasons.
It's well known that rockstar did the same with the first GTA. [though in that case it was more working together than baiting.]
>>318114368
Even that bit is debatable, really.
Censorship is almost always politically motivated. No government is forcing these companies to alter the content of their games, they do it voluntarily.
Does that make it right? Absolutely not. But calling it CENSORSHIP is oversteering a bit.
I think what a lot of people forget is that nobody ACTIVELY WANTS to remove breasts from these games. There really is no secret, shadowy cabal of game localizers sitting in their high-backed chairs with steepled fingers going "You removed 28% of the enjoyment from this game? Good...good"
Every time they have to alter a character's chest or remove a scene, that's extra work they have to do and pay for, and they want to avoid doing it as much as they can. They only do it (or in the case of DOA, don't do it) when they think the monetary reward outweighs the risk. There is no conspiracy or political agenda. It's all money.

Eh... it's less like cancer because cancer won't stop if you don't listen.
Do you guys realize there were people complaining about this stuff before social media? Do you know why they never affected anything? It wasn't because they didn't exist, because they did. They didn't affect anything because publishers weren't scared of them as a result of social media. The actual people doing the whining are peacocking, using social media to appear like MAJOR groups despite being relatively small groups of nutjob liberal arts college students and recent graduates.
The fad almost seems to be over anyway. It's certainly on the downswing.

Maybe if feminists and their SJW lackeys were out protesting and getting graphic violence and/or undesired political/sociological ideals then we'd be mad at them for censoring such things as well.
Thus far they seem only interested in censoring women who look better than they do.

Who was actually trying to censor/ban this game? Who had even fucking heard of this game a couple of weeks ago? The series sells like shit, and the sales are progressively worse with each installment, the company made a business decision off of that and now people are strumming up publicity for it by crying muh SJWs.
>>318116648
it works like this
>>318116648
>So if you're against censorship, you're gamergate?
I didn't know your asshole was big enough to pull that out of. Nothing in that post said anything along those lines.
It criticized a single overused image designed to attack anyone who says they hate both SJWs and Anti-SJWs [on /v/, mostly GG.] in spite of most reasonable people falling into that group.

>>318116762

All GG wanted was greater openness and honesty in gaming media.
When the media defenders, the anti-gaming feminists showed-up to skew the debate, all anyone wanted was for their hypocrisy to be more widely known.
But that would have needed help from the media, and THAT wasn't about to happen when they were in each other's pockets. http://theralphretort.com/game-informer-refuses-run-dissent-anita-sarkeesian-agenda/

If you honestly think that nobody online would let DOAX3 get published without cries of sexism, misogyny, and being problematic, then you are retarded.
I know I'm not making a great argument here, and I'm really just calling you stupid, but be fucking real here. You think SJWs would have just let this game slip by their problematic radar? You think they wouldn't have run a smear campaign? They can't even shut up about the older DOAX games, and those came out ten years ago.
>>318115464
When leftist say "freedom of speech" what they really mean is "correct" speech. They in no way advocate freedom of speech.
>>318117072
It means WE don't get a game because SJWs don't want us to have it.
>>318116941
it is?
so you're just going to reinforce that being against censorship means you're gg?

Making Bayonetta an M title because of your pathetic attentionwhoring towards it in view of the ESRB censors it from growing teenagers who need to jerk off to develop. The other two were cases of clear attempted censorship, as I have discussed and shown much like rape will get you put on a list.
If you attempt to censor something you are just as bad as the one to enact said censor. If you attempt to rape another human being you are put on a list for the rest of your life, the same as a rapist. Please consider this plain and simple fact.

If you don't stop posting on /v/, you are literally a baby rapist. That is, a rapist of babies, not a rapist who happens to be a baby. Whether you are a baby who rapes other babies is ambiguous.
If you comply, you're out of the thread and can't tell me I'm wrong.
If you don't comply, you understand that just because someone with no credibility makes a request of you [such as 'stop making this game, it's sexist.'], you don't have to honor that request. Honoring the request is down to you.

I'm legit interested in even just asking some of these people "If <problematic game X> had furries instead of regular models (and with the same lewdness) would you still call it misogynist? Why?".

This is true. Companies are made up of people, but are not naturalistic persons unto themselves. They are legal persons, but this is irrelevant in the context of the comparison.

Generally speaking, a company that broadly caters to an 18-25 male audience is not vulnerable to disapproval from a 15-30 female demographic. Companies can be vulnerable to many things, but in this case angry teenagers on Twitter is not one of them.

'If you publish gay-rights literature in Russia and they arrest you, it's your fault and the Russian state was acting properly...'

The irony that they're victim blaming shouldn't be lost on anyone
>>318120181
Bayonetta, Dragons Crown and FFXV are not fucking censored you stupid fucking cunt.
Someone who attempts rape someone but failed to is charged for attempted rape, not for actual rape, those are two completely different charges.
SJW cunts attempting to censor a game and failing to do so means that the game is NOT fucking censored, someone attempting to censor something and something actually being censored are two entirely different fucking things
You are beyond fucking autistic
>>318119942
This tbqh. This whole thread is literally nothing.
>>318115326
Criticism is not censorship. Gamergate criticizes SJW ideas but they don't try to censor them or get them fired from their jobs. SJWs do that.
>>318112101
no I'm pretty sure that was removed. Didn't chinkman #3 say it didn't fit her character or something
>>318119942
that Kasumi butt makes it good
It's hilarious how many people on /v/ support and endorse censorship because they get upset that other people aren't terrified and angry at the human body being shown. A sad state when a natural body being shown is considered evil and destroys children's minds and turns men into rapist monsters, but a human body being gorily mutilated and abused is perfectly fine.
It's like how so many horror and monster movies open with two usually young people sharing an intimate moment and then get brutally slain because of it, gotta punish and rage at anything having to do with sexuality and the human body.

>we didn't do anything
Nobody has claimed that.
People have claimed they didn't do anything substantiate, but not that they did literally nothing.
SJWs cried, that doesn't mean you have to listen to them. The blame falls back onto the company.

>or get them fired from their jobs
Oh come now, there are daily threads related to how to cut the revenue to sites that host shitty journalism with the natural conclusion that shitty journalists are out of a job.
>>318128286
Telling sponsors to drop a site isn't the same as calling the employer of a random person on Twitter who disagreed with you and getting them fired by lying and saying that that person is a violent misogynistic harasser online. These sites that run on ad revenue are beholden to their public reputation and clicks to get sponsorship. Random people online can have their jobs that's unrelated to Gamergate threatened by these SJWs for participating in a discussion.
Did they ever manage to get the Play-Asia guy to lose his job? There was a campaign for it by these tolerant people.
>>318130468
Nope. Play Asia seems perfectly fine with what he did.
Maketing, self censorship or being intimidated to all results in the same thing.
In the end, it is about not listening to the fans, but instead getting influence from anyone but the fans. That's what people are upset about. It's not even about the boobs or anything like that. It's just the whole philosophy of ignoring fans.
>>318130993
Lucky guy. He kickef the hornet's nest of tolerant and accepting people. Any lesser person would've been on the streets by now.

DID SOMEBODY SAY HOG RIDER!!
>it's ok to lose my freedom and the one of future generation if I can make an epic "u mad" meymey on the internet.
good
goy
>>318131258
What are you on about? Losing your freedom would be supporting the censorship, not pushing back against it. If you're going to shitpost at least make sense.
>>318108798
>getting mad at capitalism
>>318116440
>'with us or against us' is a characteristic of extremist movements not worth the time of sensible people.
finally somebody says it
When i say I don't care that under-aged nudity gets censored, GG calls me a kek libtard sjw
When i say I don't care that under-aged nudity didn't get censored, SJWs call me a GG supporting misogynist shitlord
>>318133130
No. But you can still be called a prude. Which is fine.
It's not such a huge mark against people. Compared to let's say, an actual mark against humanity like SJWs say.
>>318106562
Typical Koei laziness, either not release it or make it psn only.
