It's not totally clear. On the one hand, apparently they've censored Nikke of their own accord before and gotten away with it. On the other, this wouldn't be the first time westernized Sony has forced a dev to censor a game released on their platform. Perhaps they didn't anticipate the pressures that would be exerted after going public (ShiftUp used to be privately owned) and then making the game a PS5 exclusive. Anons have been saying that the 'no censorship' tweet was posted after some of the changes had already been made, meaning that it was a lie.gerey wrote: ↑ April 26th, 2024, 20:52I wonder if they were planning to pull a bait-and-switch from the start, or if they were pressured by Sony and their BlackRock masters to censor the game when they saw it was gaining popularity.
The developers seem to understand that coombait sells if the success of Nikke is anything to go by, so I can't imagine this was a calculated decision. Then again, maybe the ESG bucks were worth the backlash?

I hope you folks feel foolish and stop coping by pretending the issue is Sony. What good is a principled stand if it crumpled in silence instantaneously?
Censoring dozens of things doesn't happen overnight. They were likely in the middle of that work (meaning: planned, approved, actively changed) in the middle of the public praise for sexy artwork.gerey wrote: ↑ April 26th, 2024, 20:52He had me going with the first sentence, only to subsequently ruin it.

I ain't buying PS5 just for a game that's mid at best.
The main protagonist is hot, and she pissess off all the right people (puritans on both the political left and right), but the game is on PS5 (and I am PC Master Race Only) and probably not my cup of tea genre-wise either.

I call things how I see them.
People who get triggered by stuff that appeals to straight men for moral reasons - right-wingers see it as "sinful", left-wingers see it a "misogynistic" - are puritans in my vocabulary. Especially if they express a strong desire to ban, censor or deplatform content they see as "immoral" (let's face it, there is a far greater overlap between what tradcons see as "immoral" and what woketards see as "immoral" than either camp dares to admit).
Or, I could take a page out of @aweigh's playbook and call them SJWs too. Wouldn't make a difference to me.

Nah. Excluding homos makes me a Chud, not a puritan. A puritan is that annoying guy who hates on anything remotely sexual, especially if it appeals to straight men.
Underage girls being abused doesn't appeal to all straight men FYI

You are the one using a group that strikes fear into modern liberals (400 years later and the jews and libshits are STILL making tv shows and media that demonize the puritans) as a negative, yet have the gall to claim we have a bunch of overlap. Aweigh is also a spic liberal crybaby, so he is the last person you want to be in agreement with here.Metalhead33 wrote: ↑ April 29th, 2024, 14:36I call things how I see them.

Moral Quandary, who do we hate more and want to lose the culture war / fade out of existence?
fallen white men who debase themselves as coomers with no self respect?
Or
pissed off game urinalists who actively hate men and want them genocided?
You can pick both.. but one has to go first.

coomerism lead directly to sjwism
e.g., no coomers, no lara croft, and lara croft was a proto-SJW character

I don't think this actually matters to coomerism. Apparently most of the outfits are based on IRL outfits which are even skimpier worn by "influencers" (or maybe they are cosplayers or something, I don't read korean). Even outright removing the game from sale wouldn't change that. It isn't just the streamers and onlyfans thots either. I can see women in skintight booty shorts and glorified bras for shirts just going to the grocery store. There are so many hentai games being spammed online that I need to mark "NSFW" as excluded whenever I look at the GOG sales. Losing this fight won't impact the coomers at all, it will just make the terminally online landwhales journalists feel better about themselves because they don't have to see 3d scans of attractive women.Shillitron wrote: ↑ May 1st, 2024, 19:45Moral Quandary, who do we hate more and want to lose the culture war / fade out of existence?
