Honestly looking back this entire scene is pretty offensive.
How exactly? I found it hilarious.
It isn't. Go back to Kotaku.
Not surprising in the least if you look at history of FF character design. Most of them tend to be androgynous. Sexual ambiguity is the core of FF.
>>2838405
>offensive
how?
>>2838446
It makes a joke out of transpeople's issues.
I'm frankly surprised Square didn't omit this section from the English localization to avoid controversy with moral guardians. Conservative groups whine about the least inclusion of LGBT themes in video games.
Square nonetheless censored Barret's cursing, or at least some of it. I think a few lines made it past the censors.
>>2838454
It's not crossdressing if they identify as that sex you fucking bigot.
>>2838454
not really... it's an entirely different situation altogether
>>2838454
It's a lampoon on the male hero's sexuality by having him wear a dress. A trope going back fucking years and a tired backbone of comedy slapsthick you stupid cunt.
>>>/trash/ with your weak bait.
>>2838446
Because we, as a puritanical and God-fearing society, must shield our children from the immoral practice of crossdressing.
>>2838460
That's exactly why this is offensive, it makes transexuals look like opportunists or just men with put on a dress and a wig.
>>2838454
It doesn't. Japan barely knows and doesn't care about trans people's issues even today, let alone when FFVII was released.
>>2838469
This is why we should stretch the message to them, they still have a long way to go in minorities and people of color's rights over there. I mean, come on, it's 2015.
>>2838474
Just because YOU are too white cis heterosexual privileged to care doesn't mean some one us doesn't.
>>2838473
Good luck. Japan doesn't care about anything non-Japanese have to say about their country.

back to tumblr bitch!
Seriously, how much of the remake do you think will be censored purely because of American SJWs?
>>2838427
apparently crossdressing is offensive now, you'll have to ask tumblr of the particulars
>>2838530
I hope they censor it out of existence. The remake sucks.
>>2838534
You don't know anything about it. Fuck off.
>>2838540
It's not turn based! They are changing the story!
>>2838530
You mean because of American conservatives. SJWs aren't nearly as sizable, and Square clearly doesn't give a shit what they think since they rebooted Tomb Raider complete with graphic death sequences.
Square has only shown interest in catering to Western religious groups that are opposed to "ungodly" themes in their games. For a while, they actually debated whether or not they would even allow same-sex marriage in FF14, and left it up to their fanbase to decide. If conservatives had banded together and bitched about the game en masse, I'm sure FF14 wouldn't feature gay marriage today.
>>2838546
I don't know how you define a conservative. If you think it's the American right, you're far off. Read /pol/ for like a week.
But yeah, SJWs are a problem not only for video games, but for censorship in the media in general. They're a serious problem.
>>2838552
>Read /pol/ for like a week.
>>2838557
Yeah, yeah.
>>2838546
Conservatives don't give a shit anymore. Liberals are the new Religious Right.

>"Hurr durr libruls taken away muh freedums"
... Are you serious, or am I being keked?
I don't know what era you were born into, but it was always the far-right religious groups trying to censor the media. Sure, tumblrtards do the same shit today, but they're generally limited to the Internet and college campuses. None of them are sizable or organized enough to have any legislative influence. Meanwhile, they're vastly outnumbered by religious groups that would like nothing more than to outlaw all non-Christian denominations, crucify atheists and homosexuals, ban free press, and declare Pat Robertson America's supreme dictator.
>>2838570
You're a retard. I would suggest reading /pol/ or /his/ but everyone here will call you a big fag for doing that.
>>2838579
I read /pol/ every day, if only to feel better about myself.
/pol/ is and always was a circus of Hitler youth shitposting unironic antisemitism. I used to be outraged, but then I just felt sorry for them. I can't imagine what kind of terrible shit their parents must have done to them to fuck with their minds so badly.
>>2838603
Hitler wasn't right, but he didn't kill 6 million jews. You obviously didn't read any moderate posts.
>>2838570
They have enough influence to promote gay privileges and legalize gay marriage though.
>>2838615
What's wrong with that?
>>2838606
A lot of people dont. Nor do they go to any of the citations for the less PC statements and articles.
They just go "ew far right news! I'd rather stay with my liberal news and leave it at that."
No one likes confronting alternate critical views anymore. And that goes for the entire spectrum it seems.
>>2838616
It degenerates Western society. While Muslims would simply stamp that out with violence, our pussy society welcomes it with open arms. And who is behind this degeneracy power play? The media.
OP has spent too much time in the Tumblr echo chamber. There's no way that would offend unless you've been beaten upside the head long enough.
>>2838616
It was an argument against that anon who said gays don't have any legislative power when in fact they have a tremendous amount of it.
>>2838617
We're going to die out, by the very rhetoric that we learned in high school. "They came for X, but I wasn't X, so..."

Wow, way to ruin my thread. Thanks guys.
I was just saying a lot of this section of the game is awful. Homophobic with gay muscle men, some guy saying to Cloud he's got a nice "heifer" there (he was talking about Aeris) things like that.
>>2838884
>some guy saying to Cloud he's got a nice "heifer" there (he was talking about Aeris) things like that.
You're in a male gym in the slums of sector 7. You really expect the guys from there NOT to talk like blue-collar yokels?
You need to spend some more time outside OP. Not everyone is as flowery and sensitive of other's feelings as you.
Also look up 'world building', ya dumb c'uck.

>what kind of terrible shit their parents must have done to them to fuck with their minds so badly.
Probably nothing. Don't get me wrong their parents probably did all sorts of shit to them, but they were likely fucked up anyway, parents just added more shit to the shit factory that is their head. Bad kids don't mean bad parents, some people are just fucked up and there's nothing you can do about it even with the best of parenting. Likewise being a good person when you're adult doesn't mean your parents were awesome, many awesome people had terrible as fuck scumbag parents.
>>2838603
The environment a person grew up in and the people they interact with can affect their world view. It doesn't necessarily have to do with bad parents or a defective mind.
>>2838405

Why would anyone weigh the wants of 0.1% of the population against the preferences of the other 99,9%? Racism isn't an issue to a country where 98.5% of its people are the same race, many of them will never even see a minority.
>>2838992
>Why would anyone weigh the wants of 0.1% of the population against the preferences of the other 99,9%?
Because it's the right thing to do. Because not doing it makes you unethical and a douche. Because using that logic undermines everything worthwhile in life to be subject to mob rule and would stamp out all that is good or different in the world.
>>2838405
Sage. Not vidya. Don't be a baby.
>>2838405
It's hilarious that when they were settling the west some men would wear dresses and they'd hold dances. The men did this b/c there weren't enough dance partners and everyone found it funny. People get offended by the stupidest things. If some dude wants to wear a dress why should I give a shit?
>replying to shit tier bait
what the fuck is wrong with you retards
>>2838531
I think it's just whining about cultural appropriation of the trannies. Of course if you, as a normal individual, even imply that trannies may be alike, well that's some kind of fucking ism. This is coming from a male bisexual that remembers when it was just gay instead of lgbtqwtfbbq111!! Fucking tmblr
>>2838617
This is because different channels have completely different news, with little to no resemblance to reality, hands up don't shoot and its coverage being a perfect example. It used to be, with only a handful of news outlets, that people at least agreed on more or less what happened, now we don't even hear about the same events, must less a vaguely similar take on them.
>>2838467
Anyone who honestly gets offended over it has mental issues. Anyone who is actually trans has to understand that crossdressing and gender dysmorphia are separate things. They do overlap in various ways, but crossdressing is very much it's own thing and always has been.

All replies of that sort will never, ever be taken earnestly but will inevitably lead to the thread getting bumped more. If something here honestly bothers you, the best course of action is to hide the thread and ignore it.
>>2841767
The problem is, they really haven't. They've just doubled down on their faggotry by becoming extremely passive-aggressive about what they enforce and when.

>>2841867
Just before moot took off to pretend 4chan never existed the Jannies were extremely active. It was a double-edged sword, though: they still deleted at least as many posts they "didn't like" as actual garbage ones.
>>2841867
To be fair, this was several months ago. Retro threads and on-topic posts were nuked left to right for seemingly no reason. When someone made a troll post, the entire thread would be taken down instead of weeding out just the troll posters. And I'm pretty sure one of the mods had some serious hangups about homosex. Any attempts at serious discussion that happened to touch down on gay characters in video games (in a positive, non-/pol/ light) was deleted, and the posters banned.
>>2841895
Totally. It was extremely weird to see that GBA Castlevania thread keep going for weeks while Dreamcast threads were getting deleted all over the place.
