Stellar Blade Censorship

Once again, something risque gets censored and people rush in to say "omg who cares" or "stop being horny".

I'm not big on the game. But the devs had a vision and it was censored. Sony is notorious for stupid censorship of games produced outside of the EU/America and this is another case of it.

Remember what they did with DMC5? Among other games.

We are at a point where corporations are trying to pressure out anything NSFW, like Gumroad evicting anything too risque at the behest of Mastercard and Stripe.

And this is the exact same sentiment. I do not care if it's only adding a bit of fabric to her outfits or the gore is toned down. It is still censorship and against the devs' artistic vision.

The fact that people are willing to let this slide because a personal bias or prudishness is absolutely shameful. If you don't like the art, that doesn't mean you should approve of the art getting censored for no damn reason.

It seems so easy to make people defend censorship. All you have to do it cover a bit of skin and they'll shrug, yet they'll be surprised when their NSFW artist friend gets nuked off of a site.

Stop defending censorship of art for the sake of corporate approval/sensibilities.

Will they study the sole GG related case of somebody being driven to a suicide or nah?

OH MY GOSH, THAT “TRASHFIRE BRIANNA WU” GAME WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY. It’s called Revolution 60, and one of my favorite LetsPlay groups, OneyPlays, played it. It’s the absolute most shittiest game I’ve ever seen, it looks like a failed Jimmy Neutron spin-off that’s nothing but a mix of quick-time events, typing games, and Telltale-esque dialogue choices. And yes, the female designs are super hypocritical. Oney actually got blocked by Brianna for drawing the MC with a ballsack for a haircut, lol (1)

(2) I actually highly recommend watching the OneyPlays gameplay, they totally take the piss out of the game and it’s the only way the game is bearable to consume in some manner.

You know, the worst part is that I'm sure the same kind of people who are constantly trying to rewrite what GamerGate was about would try to reframe Rev60 as some kind of 'critical satire on the sexualization of women in games'.

And not, you know, a shitty game that unironically did everything that people were accusing male game devs of but without even having the saving-grace of good gameplay.

1/3 Honestly, I remember the side of gamergate that was actually advocating to actually support women in gaming. Especially after a woman took and ran with the money from a "for women developers" funds, and then 4chan pooled money for a game and made Viv. I also remember... Bree Wu? Who was incredibly hypocritical about female designs, but made a complete trashfire with characters that wore skin tight latex looking stuff. I even remember how Anita Sarkesian? made those god awful "gaming review"

Vids, where it turned out she lied about gameplay, the mechanics, story and even about having played it herself. I remember how she completely shat on Bayonetta, and called her a "single mom"? Or how she lied about "In Hitman you get bonus points for killing women." while you could literally see the penalties on the (stolen) gameplay footage. I also remember how she started a gofundme? to make a bunch of those videos, got more than the goal, and then didn't deliver most of the videos. I'm not saying Gamergate was completely peachy and the knights in shining armor and righteous, I'm well aware there were trolls and actual harassment going on, but seeing people twist history to make it "the bad stinky gamers vs the poor innocent waaahmen" is honestly gross. Especially when it was revealed that gamergate did uncover a lot of bullshit in the gamin journalism branch, which you can't refute, but is now being sold as "That had nothing to do with anything, they just hate women."

Because certain groups of people would rather move Heaven and Earth to make themselves look like the victims of a culture-war that they themselves triggered than admit that they ever did anything wrong.

I think the perfect testimony to the dichotomy of those were for Gamergate and those who were against it stands in how most of those who were for it in the past can look at themselves and say 'Yeah, there were some things that could have been done better/differently' whereas those who were against it don't do anything but try to rewrite what the whole ordeal was about in the first place.

In the counter-spirit of Sweet Baby, I've decided to start Sick Bro. I'll be consulting video game companies on how they could make their games even cooler. Games that make you go 'That's Sick, bro'.

Goals include:

Explosions are all 2 times bigger, minimum

Rule is cool is strictly enforced

At least one playable male character that sacrifices himself in a last stand to save his team

More fishing minigames

Every narrative presented will make you question what it means to be human on a fundamental level and ask you the question if you stack up.

Increase the bust size of all female characters by 25%*

Stay tuned for kickstarter information.

There are few times in life you will feel real schadenfreude. This is one of them. It seems the "message" people got a good dose of their own medicine.

Kindergartens, please stop affecting policies.

Personally, I find it funny that modern creators are bigger puritans than the 90s Fox.

My hottest take re: gaming is that soulsborne-inspired “games should be hard” shit is the worst brain poison to affect gamers since gamergate.

They are removing his character arc where he gets girlbossed into stopping being a chauvinist because we have reached the point where a main character just needing such a lesson makes him too toxic.
