Well when they have all the major series that people want statistically not everything is going to be perfect.

I think interspecies reviewers is going through rightstuf. I know the books have been localized.
Yeah, but Funimation has the rights to the anime and refuse to release it. Funimation is owned by Sony and as far as I know Sony has backed a lot of their dumb prog movements.

And it's not about statistically being perfect. They deliberately fuck with the script, it's not errors or mistakes they are making it's known actions towards the script to make themselves feel better. That's Sony. That's the people they hire and oversee.

Critical mass is rightstuf's porn division. So if it's coming out under that label I think that's why it got pulled from streaming. Like Monster Musume it walked the line between porn and a regular show.

Stuff like Shield Hero, Uzaki-chan, Re Zero really didn't generate controversy from their english translation, the controversy stemmed from the show's subject matter.

I think Spider got the "Oh Jesus!" changed in the english release but you can still clearly hear it on the Japanese track.

I'm not talking about controversy regarding subject matter. You're walking off the trail. They deliberately fuck with scripts of anime when it's a subject matter the localization writer does not like.

It's not exclusive to Sony, either. NCSoft has the same kind of faggots on their writing teams for importing shit to the West. Just deal with it, man. Sony is not immune, I don't know why this is so hard for you to believe when you believe it for any other company like Capcom or Nintendo.

But that's kind of the whole deal with corporate wokeness, it's never full fledged and it's always surface level.

Granted this all stems from the late 80's and early 90's which started the moral consumerism and things like the moral environmentalism and Pink Breast Cancer fund products.

I mean it was kinda why you had places like Rain Forest Cafe where only a small faction of money was spent going to Brazil. And a more recent example was all the companies withdrawing their pledges from BLM months after the fact.

Nah, it's HR level. That's when it's systemic. When they're creating entire departments that overlook scripts to make sure they aren't upsetting anyone? That's metastasized. I actually forgot which game company did that, but it was one of the bigger ones if I remember right. I just wish I could remember the name, but I guess I buried that memory too.

I wish it was surface level, but it's not. The only reason Japan is so far immune is because they don't have HR departments from what I understand.

Japan does have HR Departments. They're technically part of providing a liability shield from legal woes. That's why HR initially existed.

HR Departments are closer to cattle pens in the whole corporate balancing act. But HR stuff is becoming outsourced and in some instances automated. This is especially the case with smaller studios and they won't have an inhouse HR department. The one thing about covid is that many companies downsized their HR due to them not really needing to provide a function anymore. Or HR employees are perma-forever working from home.

Oh thank God, one of their vectors is dying off. Now if only marketing would follow.

Marketing sadly probably won't die off, but trends change which usually is the #1 cause of retarded ass marketers getting fired. If you're right on the cusp of a new trend emerging and the promotional campaign you've been working on for months comes out the next day and hits a brick fucking wall due to people wanting the newer brand new shit trend, your ass is canned on the spot.

There's a bit of a blow-up occurring in the drama and sperg-filled world of Doom Mods and Doomworld related to a Wolfenstein mod called Blade of Agony. It's fucking painful to read and is filled to the brim with totally limp-wristed faggots clutching pearls and getting worked up over some goofy, grindhouse, OW-THE-EDGE!-tier content. Bonus points for people being more upset about misgendering a troon than zombified holocaust victims:

Okay so I don't know the full details of this because I'm not that invested in Guilty Gear or the FGC but apparently there's some drama about I-No's design being changed to try to appeal to a wider audience.

Don't know much about it beyond this interview and all I can find is general complaints so if anyone knows more about this then feel free to mention it.

Admitting that you've changed a design so that it appeals to the "global market" (with what that term usually compass) is what I actually call censorship

I haven’t even played any of the Guilty Gear games yet, and I don't even know where to start. It’s funny that I was going to start with this one before I read about this.

If they tried to appeal to the global market they failed, because she's got a potty mouth. I also don't think it falls into censorship because it's a preference, what do you prefer, exposed back or exposed belly? Her original costume doesn't have midriff.


If it's change they're going to stick with I want curse words for every move.

One of I No"s winposes and aesthetic was the inyour face sex and rock n roll style of I No and how she emphasize the sex part of the rock and roll by having a good deal of fanservice shots and her famous throw her top off like how any worthwhile rockstar would toss their shirt off for the female groupies to grab. Of course thanks to the wonders of the PC we finally got to see her in all her Barbie doll glory and ASW decided that they won't make the same mistake by changing her design and victory pose so it won't be so easily exploited.

Hell even with god eater the model rip for the show the showering character having a carefully cropped out bra sticker

They want the game to do well in China because the whole competitive scene is in Asia. The Chinese government has a laundry list of rules. Like swearing is allowed but it can't have anti-chinese slurs or regional slurs that are widespread in China.

They really can't easily alter the characters either, they're all meticulously made and the UV maps for the characters are insane in how they're laid out and compiled. The characters are full 3d so any outfit change needs a whole new model made and then laid out in the same fashion while ensuring the hit boxes don't change.

China really don't give a hoot about sexualized designs despite what you think, if Netease and the mobile game companies are proof, they want the population to be docile over being woke. And nothing promotes docility like having the gamer coomer brains permanently on some form of sexualized content. It is when people start talking politics or anything out of their station that they start monitoring for content. But Chinese game devs are the last group of people you expect to be moral guardians.

Actually they've been cracking down pretty hard on the mobile. A lot of game companies have had to change past designs or straight up remove characters from the pool on Chinese servers.

Nah within the last 6 months they've put forth multiple bullshit initiatives. Both relating to social credit score stuff punishing cooming, meanwhile also punishing race mixing in a society where there's a genuine shortage of women. And this is before you get to video games.

Like it's the reason why all the workers who are over in africa just stay over there because their wives are black despite them being han. They would get a signifigant lower quality of life if they moved back to mainland.
