Game Censorship & Localization General Thread

[Smegward]

you could mention stuff like that tf2 or cod black ops had no blood and gore in germany but the thread seems to be about not getting sexualized depictions of minors from japan.

In the upcoming Dragon Quest remake, you can choose between male or female body types.

Or in the English version "Body Type A" and "Body Type B"
Or in the Japanese version "Looks A" and "Looks B"

「ルックス」(engrish word for "looks") feels quite unnatural in this context too, I dunno why「男勇者」or「女勇者」are avoided.

Famitsu, and other Japanese game media outlet posts on Twitter, have also various people who comment on the terminology being weird, often suspecting the influence of the political correctness (ポリコレ) from the West.

Thankfully this seems to only affect the character creation menu.

Then what's the point of asking the player to choose a or b?

I wouldn't doubt there was a weird comment here or there in this thread, but can you quote one? Seems most of this thread is about woke shit, like gender/race related alterations.

Do not reply to the obvious troll please

There isn't any, it's just virtue signaling to secure ESG funds.

Don't know if this was mention here, but the upcoming Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster seems to have censored some things. Like Cheryl Jones getting covered up:

Also, committing literal white-washing on a Chinese character. BTW, is it just me or does Larry look like Wings of Redemption now?

There's also rumors that the Erotica tag might be removed from the remaster. Also, urinialists have already started blaming the gamers™ for calling this shit out.

On a side note, Frank looks like Ted Bundy

This is what covering too many wars does to a man

I saw it mentioned somewhere that the voice actor for Frank is the Dead Rising 4 Frank West. So it's an attempt to make that Frank-In-Name-Only more legitimate?

To upend the concept of gender and normalize pronoun usage as the main identifiers instead. So if someone (character in the game/person in real life) uses "she/her", then it's a woman, bigot. It's propaganda training people to think a certain way about gender.

The only sus image I saw out of the dozen or so games was from a game called Zanki Zero, and it's hard to tell based on the weird angle, but yeah, I think you're right on that one. The vast majority does seem to be about SJW shit though.

gender

You know by using the word gender instead of sex you are doing the same thing they are. Refuse the language coined by pedophile Dr. John Money and embrace biological reality.

Sex and gender were considered synonymous by the general public for a long time, but I get what you mean.

Yeah apparently it's not the OG VA. It's why he sounds like a caricature of an italian dude from a movie at times. Like "YO I'm walkin' erre! Cahm on, fugged aboudit!" It's comically bad.

As @Sniperwoof said, it's likely a contractual obligation for ESG handouts. If this is the case then it's a nice technicality play that invalidates the pozz straight out of the gate.

I feel like that Gamergate had a part in amplifiying this way of thinking, cause our favorite tranny gamer "Mr. Wu" was the public's first great big exposure to the transgender culture and its budding insanity. Over a decade later, we've reached a point we are very close to making preferred pronouns not just some quirky internet way of talking but the only way to refer to a person....or anything, really.

It's frustrating that people will clap like fucking seals when they see this type a/b shit, but completely ignore 5 seconds later what that shit is dropped instantly.

iirc back then pronouns weren't even a thing. more likely that came from >she and attack helicopter shitposting unironically, which turned into "I need my own special snowflake pronouns" to "own the chuds".

Famitsu, and other Japanese game media outlet posts on Twitter, have also various people who comment on the terminology being weird, often suspecting the influence of the political correctness (ポリコレ) from the West.

I wonder, will the japanese come up with their own version of baizuo, or simply use the same term. they might not even know about it yet, it's gonna be fun once it spreads...

I wasn't following GamerGate and still barely understand the situation aside from a few key facts, but the timeline seems to match up, though that could be coincidental. I don't know if it can be traced to just one event.

I remember the first time I heard the term transgender, it was some Hollywood cunt talking about her tranny friend. I literally had no idea what the fuck it meant, and this was back in the mid 00's. I don't think I heard it again until nearly a decade later.

Aie....I only really got to know it around the late 2010s, mostly through glances and not anything major. Only a few years ago I discovered what it meant in theory, and what it really meant thanks to this. I also haven't followed GamerGate at the time as well, too, its just something I had noticed during my brief stints of recollection and research.....it definitely was around the early 2010s where it got popular I say, Donald Trump getting voted in bombshelled the liberals (but then again, so did the rest of the world), and 2020 was the great boom as they had us introduce the accursed flag emoji .
Because they grew so loud and so needy, not to mention its effectively just a mind virus with dangerously high infection rates, they wormed their way into everywhere and help steer things into how they are today.

But enough ranting about the tranny, I wanna answer the troll's question for a while: its because Germany are fucking nurtured pussy hippies, that's why.

It really drives me crazy when I complain about this and people counter with "why do you care if it says looks/style/type", when we all know deep inside, even if they don't want to admit it, that it STILL MEANS male/female and it's insane to defend the removal of perfectly fine words that describe what we all can see with our own eyeballs. How high on post-modernism can you be to not be bothered by this?

"Hm, this body type B for some reason has covered breasts and is smaller and more slim. I have no idea what that could mean!"

"But can I strip naked as body type B? Why not?"
