That's the thing you retort to? Seems like you're the one projecting and in need to unclutch your pearls.

"YoU ARe THe ReTARd NoT ME!"

Is there a censorship apologist thread somewhere? I think that would be interesting.

Last I checked, Japan isn't a member of NATO, and every time the UN does this, Japan collectively tells them to "fuck off" and get better bait.

On principle the UN should be told to fuck off by everyone no matter the topic, it should be shut down.

It was already rated T, what the hell prompted this? I'm genuinely curious how this kinda shit happens. Is it a feminist in HR who noticed afterwards and complained or what?

The few threads about this on twitter are extremely hostile to the change. A few people are even openly calling out the alphabet folx for this and getting a lot of likes.

The zeitgeist is shifting a lot faster than I thought it would.

ESRB, like any bureaucracy, has recently started trying to come up with make-work programs to justify their continued existence. The FTC shot down their bold 'AI age verification baked into every game' proposal with a resounding, "bro what the fuck are you smoking" so now they're trying to broaden their policing of game advertisement. Their position is that all advertisement for games should be as inoffensive as possible regardless of rating.

This is incredibly strange timing, considering I mentioned this game being a decent Symphony of the Night clone in the Metroidvania thread about 12 hours before your post.

Starting to wonder if I have latent psychic powers.

With exception to tranny flags of course, I'm sure they don't mind offending the right people, that could be front and center and they'd probably lower the age rating on a game.

Gotta be a symptom of porn brain rot.

At least horny people know what they want and don't bother other people.

Calling bikinis 'pornographic' is such a wild take. Zoomers might as well convert to Islam at this point.

Agreed. I saw it a few times and it's wild. Complaining about things as tame as R-Racing and Juiced.

It's the same bullshit over and over again.

Because the same idiots keep making the same claim over and over again.

Is there a censorship apologist thread somewhere? I think that would be interesting.

I doubt it. It would be "I hate this thing, and it shouldn't exist. Oh, but don't change things I like!" repeatedly.

Eh...Sorta?

The cover art thing might be specifically a request from brick-and-mortar retailers - "kill the cleavage if you want to get on our shelves". I know that sort of thing has happened before.

She is voiced by Yui Ishikawa. Same VA for Mikasa Ackerman in Attack On Titan. Her voice is soothing and yet serious. She is very talented.

Laura Bailey on the other hand isnt horrible. But she has done worse work. I still think her voice as Abby in LOU2 was awful. But that was probably because I hated the character so much.

Laura have the same voice in all the games she's featured.
Actually, she's being Serana is the best example: calm, soft but very emotional voice when the moment asks her.
Her being Bianca in DA: I was surprising but using the same voice all over again.

Titties are awesome and I'm tired of pretending they aren't.

Can someone localize this ESL word salad shit, please?

Laur-Laur uses the same voice in every game she’s featured in!
Her being Serana is a good example: she sounds like a beautiful, independant woman who doesn’t need a gamergate chud in her life.
Laur-Laur pantomiming in Dragon Age eke hath used the exact same voice yond the lady hath used f'r S’rana

Don't trust any major politician over the age of 60 when it comes to vidya. Trump has basically the same positions as Harris on the issue. It's not a partisan issue at their age, it's just them being old as fuck.

Maybe in ten years we'll have presidential candidates with real actionable opinions on the issue.

trump's VP is an ex-magic player, I'm pretty sure he has a different opinion. trump himself only mentioned it in passing iirc, it was never his focus.

And Harris's VP is a crazy Dreamcast fiend from back in the day. My point is that both candidates are roughly comparable on this issue and if you're voting based on vidya shit you are actually black and retarded.

Trump has the same views I reckon.

The censorship defenders usually don't cause much trouble in this thread, just stopping by now and then to remind us that they don't care. It's not like the politics threads that need to be cordoned off to contain the mass psychosis.
