HUGE Capcom Leak Due To Ransomware - You can thank the group called "Ragnar Locker"

[ZMOT]

Japan is really fucking weird sometimes, I love them of course but every so often they make a decision that just leaves you scratching your head, like blurring out genitals in what is still fucking pornography, the point of that is?

There's no way Capcom could lose enough money to really hurt them with Rival Schools and Darkstalkers revivals, so why not give it a shot?

In the case of Nintendo they seem to have an obsession with always reinventing the wheel with every new game even though that isn't really needed, sometimes more of the same is perfectly fine.

And with Konami yeah, they make a lot of money with pachinko, but they could make even more money by still producing video games in addition to that, but nope, gotta leave money on the table and let valuable ips rot because....

I think the Japanese can be some pretty stubborn people and when they get an idea in their head that don't want to do something for whatever reason they're not going to fucking do it no matter how illogical it may be.

do you wanna be the guy going down history making a push for unpixelated pussy? that's why no politicians is gonna put it on the table. same as other countries with retarded laws. the only difference however is that they still heavily enforce it instead of silently phasing it out. they even doubled down in the lead-up to the olympics where they cracked down on material that was pushing the limit more and more, so a removal anytime soon is less than likely now that we're basically back at square one.

the rest is basic corporate economics - why spend 100k on a product that at best makes 500k, when you can spend 1 million and get 5 in return? plus budget isn't infinite, the 100k you spend on game A won't got into game B etc. (and before anyone quotes me on that, the numbers are an example). you can especially see that with konami, how much do you think an "erotic violence" slot machine costs and how much it's gonna make compared to what it costs to employing a full-fledged dev team that might or might not produce something that actually sells? even licensing is risky, because there's always a chance it devalues the IP and has a lot more factors involved (who when where what) which makes it more risky than putting a name on a pachinko machine.
same reason everyone is jumping on the mobile bandwagon, it's cheap to produce, you can shit out dozens of games this way, and if you make it big all those other failed games are peanuts (although the space is highly saturated by now driving up costs in marketing alone, which is gonna lead to a re-alignment asf).

TLDR: business as usual.

Genitals needed to be censored but a photographer in the late 80's/early 90's claimed that pubes weren't genitals and he was right, so that could be shown from there on out, but no actual genitals. Buttholes are ok. They have their weird rules lawyering as seen with pachinko and and their brothels.

Their strict 'tism creates a new question, would it be legal to show troon-ginas or FtM dicks uncensored in Japan? That shit is gross but it sure as hell isn't real genitalia in function or appearance.

Well we do have an answer to that.

I can see why no one wants to go down as the guy making a push for unpixelated pussy now, but it's weird that someone stood up and said that should be a thing in the first place, isn't it?

I saw the article on Sanaku and don't feel like digging for it but a few months ago a self proclaimed otaku politician did indeed run for political office on the uncensored pussy platform.

Change you can believe in.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

Buttholes are ok.

That single time I tried to watch hentai*, they were censored, too, did that change?

*it was called "Tentacle and witches", or something like?
I got traumatised by Urotsukidoji at like 14 and have avoided hentai, that is how this was the only one I watched since.

I'm not sure if/how that has changed especially in hentai. I only know, through the magic of links on the internet, that if someone is shitting into their own mouth only the genitals needs to be censored. It wasn't even tub-girl!

The Aristocrats Obscenity Laws!

On a related note, I found the list of Darkstalkers move names I lost, this time via a list of Darkstalkers Card Game items instead of derived from the old Vampire guidebook.

https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/Capcom_Action_Card_Game

"Honey Whisper"
"Splash Libido"
"Orgasm Wire"!

Porn censorship in Japan is as old as the Meiji era itself among the other forms of censorship that were in place too, and it's the one form of censorship that remained left untouched after America occupied Japan in the aftermath of WW2. So I assume there is some sort of "old tradition to respect" in rule here too.

 

[Xarpho]

so nothing juicy leaked?
also im pretty sure somebody will be killed over this...

Hopefully it will be like the Nintendo leaks, where it mostly came in a drip feed.

Seeing MML3 in some form would be nice though.

 

[soulless guarantee]

I can see absolutely no way that this would piss off trannies and BLM.

 

[tehpope]

Capcom sent dear leader a DMCA request due to this thread. Congrats.

Japan runs like 5 years behind the US.


Have you ever seen how pozzed the average western K-Pop fan is? They also outspend the actual Koreans by a huge margin.

Also this isn't any sort of imperialism cultural or otherwise, this is all willful on their end mind you.

LOL and I kept saying it'd be a riot if based Japan has it's own love affair with wokeness after the trend starts to die down in the West just to see the smug weebs lose their shit as the West becomes based again while the Japs get pozzed.

Can't believe it might actually happen now.

try both being pozzed for an indefinite amount of time, the blight isnt going anywhere

We'll see I guess. Every decade brings change.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

Welp, time to stock up on all the old games from the interesting era I guess. If Capcom is going this way the age of really interesting Japanese shit is coming to a close.
'Twas a good run.

Porn censorship in Japan is as old as the Meiji era itself among the other forms of censorship that were in place too, and it's the one form of censorship that remained left untouched after America occupied Japan in the aftermath of WW2. So I assume there is some sort of "old tradition to respect" in rule here too.

There might also be pushback from the industry.

I know that JAV producers use the mosaic as a way to obscure poor production value or to do things that would be hard to film without the mosaic adding ambiguity, artists for H-games regularly use the mosaic as a crutch to obviate themselves of the responsibility of drawing or rendering genitalia properly (this became clear with the advent of officially decensored games released in the west), and though I generally don't watch animated hentai I'm pretty sure at least some of those studios use it to cut corners downstairs given how many corners some of the hentai I have seen has cut in areas without a mosaic in front of it.

The only segment of the hentai drawing ecosystem I can think of which doesn't routinely take advantage of this crutch are the manga artists because as best I can tell most of them actively play chicken with the censorship especially once their work sees release outside of monthly anthologies, which is where most of the jokes about the censorship being a gigantic penis with one or two tiny black 1mm thick lines going across a tiny section of it like the most exact demill torch cuts you've ever seen.

Also the internet has made those who want to produce uncensored porn pretty much free to not give a crap as long as they host abroad so I don't think there's much impetus to change anything from that side.

 

[sperginity]

nteresting, I don't know anything about the technical side of this stuff, I just know that after the PS2 a certain "vibe" to gaming was lost that never came back and I miss it.

You never saw games like Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose ever again, on the flipside to that think of the mainstream momentum gaming was gaining during the PS2 era, gaming was "growing up" and becoming "hip", people talked about it being "another Hollywood", film directors like John Woo and Steven Spielberg were trying their hand at producing games.

Indy devs have taken up the slack. The first remothered game is really in the spirit of ps2 horror games. A lot of puppet combo games are in the spirit of late ps1 and early ps2 survival horror, and made it popular to make games of that style. I am sure there are more, I don't pay as much attention to this type of shit as I used to.

The more I read I come to the conclusion that it's HR or PR bitches who go to overpriced events with woke bullshit, then they decide "that'll fit good in our company". So they invite those "intelligent academics" to speak about their shit.
Its female and male bitches who allow this to happen.

Non-immigrant, college-educated people are the fuck ups here, and they run a staggering amount of administrative operations. They are easy marks for the equity, diversity, and inclusion industry. Whatever humanities requirements the administrators had beforehand softens them up to be sold EDI trainings. Like that white fragility author- she goes to corporations and says that her training will reduce the liability of the company in discrimination suits, and uses academics in her sales pitch. There is no evidence that the trainings help anything. It works like recruiting for a cult.

I was hoping they were skipping that shit after the west got rid of it.
but then it will mostly be an issue for the big corps, can't see smaller devs that cater to nip taste go all in on the woke train.

AsianBoss on Youtube have an interview with an old japanese porn dude that explains that it's a condom only business and the mosaic masks that and allows for other things.

That makes sense, birth control wasn't available in Japan until relatively recently and I have read claims that the abortion industry were the ones blocking it for all those years.
