Superhot VR removes scenes implying self harm citing "sensitive times", steam users lose it. - Can we no longer be trusted with adult themes and touchy subjects?

I’m actually mad about this. I would be perfectly fine with the option to toggle it off, but removing it is just so dumb.

There's nothing courageous here. Courageous would be bettering yourself, seeking help of some sort, and developing some damn self control. It's not the game's fault if someone shoots themselves or cuts themselves.

Acting this stuff out in fiction actually can be catharsis for some people. It's why a site called fataltotheflesh is still around. It's frequently used by cutters to simulate the act. Not helpful for everyone, obviously.

TFW they removed the interesting suicide scenes and not the 2 hours of in game waiting required to beat Mind Control Delete.

Yeah but thats acceptable art , it doesnt make you think , it makes you wait so you get some sort of meta feeling out of it. If it made you think you'd realize the game is a boring carbon copy of super hot but with slight changes.

The whole point of MCD is that the game hates you, no shit it wanted to waste your time.
I liked Mind Control Delete, it was pretty fun

In Superhot VR, you prove your worth by shooting yourself in game, jumping off a building in game, then at the end, you destroy the in game pyramid and shoot yourself IRL to transcend into the network. It’s just a retelling of Superhot, but more extreme, and it’s great.

What sort of retarded parent lets their little child play games about killing people in VR.
Funny how despite the dev doing this to appease these people I've yet to encounter a single review or post online defending this decision outside of one screencap of a post from the offical superhot subreddit.

If that was true then them making such a shitstorm was a hilarious move. However, them making the feature optional occurred last year so it’s possible that’s not the case.

Parents who can't parent worth a shit are the fault for a lot of earlier censorship, and it sucks to see how much worse it's become. Oh, you want your kid to play the funny game with red men but, oh no, you shoot yourself at the end of the game? How about, I don't know, chaperoning him until that part and just stop playing?

Hold the phone, the early first instances were due to the Satanic Panic.

The origins of the Satanic Panic were a lie. The kid who killed himself did so because he was gay and his parents lied about games being the catalyst to save face. This is where all game legislature stems from, a single a ruse, they even made a Made for TV movie about it which helped promote the lie.

Am I correct in thinking they just removed this stuff and didn't add new stuff to change it? That's probably the dumbest part of this whole thing. I've completed the original and VR version. They were fun. The VR game's levels were stupidly short though.

I see this as that aspect of woke scourge where once someone suggests something. Everyone is too scared to stand up or challenge it. No one wants to be on the wrong side of the PC woke culture.

"The suicide bit is like really damaging to people who suffer mental illness, we should remove it and stuff."

"People are sophisticated to understand..."

"Are you seriously promoting suicide, did you know that trans..."

So people just shut up and nod. Let the woketards have power for fear or being labelled a witch.

Why yes, being a brainwashed murder machine is perfectly fine, but killing yourself to reset, A STEP TOO FAR. PERSONA NEEDS OT BE BANNED.

I have major clinical depression and these people are all massive pussies and faggots.
