@@raxas62959And the only time censorship is somewhat necessary is Hot Coffee mod as Rockstar don't want the GTA SA to go from M to A. Meanwhile, even if SB remain unpatched/censored, the rating won't go into A rated so why the censorship?
Fix the actual problem (devs HATE straight white men because ESG requires it of them) and the censorship that leads to will cease. Just target the censorship and they will find other way to attack men again and again.
Being a higher up at a company like Sony and to be scared by pixelated sexy bodies and gore must be a miserable existence. To have such concepts live rent-free and make you so bitter is just beyond sad. So yeah, I'm not jealous of the positions Sony put themselves every since they went woke.
@@KoeskibibooSparklingGem Oh, they make perfect sense. They want to be relevant, they want to be in the spotlight and since they lack the talent to make it legit with their work, they use every opportunity to stir s*@t up. And just wait till it actually affects them or society as a whole (meaning mostly government, organizations, those who push the agenda) swings in the other direction. They'd change their tune so fast you get whiplash and gaslight you into believing they were always against whatever the current enemy is. That's the thing, they don't believe in the stuff their spouting.

"Artist celebrates censorship" How can these people exist? It's like a known code to support all forms of expression when one is an artist. Why are they like this?
Power and control over what others see and do. I've noticed that, regardless of occupation, ideology, or political stance...the more zealous one is about these things, the more authoritarian one's tactics are to that end.
@@2097Pyros Yeah, it's all about iconoclasm; undermining and destroying the things people like and cherish in lieu of a version of things _they_ approve of and deem appropriate
@@gjtrue Already happened, Spider-man mods that changed pride flags to American flags were taken down and the creators banned from Nexus mods. Hilariously it wasn't even a texture mod... just a file alteration that swapped the game to the version sold outside the West.
oh boy, without some censorship here and there, you would see that the internet and some people are even more rotten than it seems. Not defending the Stellar Blade case, my take is totally different.
The thing is, it's not just about the outfits and gore being concerned. It's about the hypocrisy surrounding this situation. They falsely advertised the game just to bait and switch us in the last moment. Games like BG3, Cyberpunk and TLOU 2 are getting a free pass, showing excessive nudity, sex and violence. But for some reason, it's too much if a viedo game character shows more cleavage. The double standards are ridiculous. We have to fight against those censorships. Cancel PS plus subscriptions, sign FreeStellarBlade petition , make Shift-Up notice that they have our support for bringing back the uncensored version.
the double standard is easily explained with the nationality of the Stellar Blade's game studio, woke types hate anything coming out of Japan and Korea that isn't wokelized!
agreed with your take, outright. this is an M rated game. if those games could get away with that, then this bait and switch should never have happened.

Interesting statement. I don't necessarily disagree, but just for fun I want to throw in these two cents: this channel and most RU-vid creators censor certain words, as you can see from most of the Twitter screenshots in this very video. That would fall under "tiniest bit."
@@sifayun6336 Bit of an odd example, because the majority of creators that do self-censor come from the fear of being censored by website instead, so the root cause is ultimately the same. A more notable example is cases of self-censorship where sites or businesses don't really have any influence on the product, which is much more of grey area. Personally I'd say if you genuinely believe the specific demographic you're aiming for would like it more when censored, then go for it. Though misreading that can pretty easily cause more harm then good.(in most modern nations, it wouldn't cause that much damage to have both the censored and uncensored options available anyways)
@@NetBattler The sad part about that rhetoric is that it assumes everyone is wholly self-serving. Heck, I'm a MASSIVE cynic regarding the selfish nature of humanity, and even I understand that we aren't 100% selfish. It ALSO assumes that the thing happening didn't happen before, and and that time, the other person WAS directly affected. So, the whole "it doesn't affect you, so why do you care" rhetoric not only assumes complete selfishness, it also assumes a complete lack of empathy and sympathy.
@@2097Pyroscouldn't agree more with you, I also already know every single one of these people's tricks,so if they want to come and reply to me just do it,I'm open right now and come clean, it's useless.
It's so weird porn artists are also weighing in on this, calling people gooners/cookers for wanting this uncensored. Well the ones I've seen mainly draw LGBTQ+ things. So that says a lot.
It's like they want to lose their audience for 1) Weighing on an issue that they nor their audience had no business in. 2) shitting on an attractive character, even tho the point of porn is to use it to attractive characters Literally shooting themselves on the foot. All for the sake of virtue signaling. Pathetic.
Stuff like that can reach dangerous territories but ultimately it's freedom of expression. I feel they should amend this saying so that people are forced to agree with another person than attack them because they don't.
Sony moving to California was their single biggest mistake. Stellar Blade is gonna make them money, but they just couldn't help themselves with not giving their customers what want.
Edit: Upon further digging, it was Nintendo of America supporting a bill that could be used to censor, so not Japan that sparked this off. Point still stands though, never accept censorship of any kind least what you like be censored. Those praising the censorship of Stellar Blade are now freaking out because of a censorship bill in Japan targeting LGBT things. Either you are against all censorship or you must accept that eventually what you like will be censored too.
Adam Ellis is the poster child for artists who lost their relevance for so long that they would do anything to be back in the limelight, yet lacked the spine when it comes to being actually controversial and fold like cheap laundry the moment people push back
He reminds me a lot of Andrew Dobson, who is also a comic artist that ended up losing relevence and resorted to making comics banking on Twitter discourse. He made a lot of comics crying about how women in games and movies are oversexualized and how much he hated men. Though unlike Adam, he eventually left the internet and hasn't been seen since.
@@darrelsam419 ah yes, Dobson. The guy who had to draw himself as a warrior standing up to cosplayers getting harrassed, only to later be revealed as a petulant child seething at the sight of a woman having fun.
Adam still have a job and making money. I'm disappointed with him. He was semi-getting better after leaving BuzzFeed. I guess not. Then again I follow his Instagram.
For a so called “artist” that guy sure did enjoy hearing about the SB censorship even though some time ago he complained about the exact same thing happening to him. This is hypocrisy and it’s no surprise it got called out.
7:06 Baldur's Gate aka Animal Lover ( literally ) Journo is seething because she couldn't control the Narrative. Aka Journo gets what she deserve which is mockery
They are SO TRIGGERED that we didn't immediately give up and slink back to our basements. We're not going to stop talking about this. It's not going to go away.
And then Sony comes up and says that they love eastern made games. It only takes one look to what Sony did to Senran Kagura on PS4 to know that they are hypocrites.
They probably want to buy them and the studio want to stay independent I think the censorship is sort of revenge and a tactic to acquire them trying to tank the game
If I compose "whose fault is this censorship", I would say 90% Sony and 10% Shift Up. Shift Up is still wrong, but not in the context of censorship, but rather accepting Sony's Exclusive offer.
Didn't shift up want to bring it to the xbox as well but ended dropping it because the micro s'wits demanded for far more egregious and invasive censorship which would've turned the character model into that landwhale that you see in certain videos and turned Eve's face into a fable female face in the latest trailer with the square face and buck-toothed
@@NetBattler Although from what I hear, *spoiler* they don't really have a romance or anything. In fact I've also heard there's some brief queer lesbian things that.. also don't get explored too much.

The people who supports censorship for video games are not gamers. Censorship of video games only leads to piracy and once you get these people to start pirating they will not stop.
I hope somebody investigates Adam Ellis' harddrive. Every single time someone is like this, they have certain illegal materials on their computer that shares initials with Captain Planet.
Once again the, "This isnt that big of a deal" argument. Imagine a pot of boiling crabs jumping out, after the heat is turned up slightly. The chef furiously shouting for them to get back in, so they can eat them.
Yeah most likely there are also a lot of things happening behind the scenes we don't know about if I were a betting man I would say Shift up told Sony to shove it trying to buy them when they saw the sales and now this is their revenge
I haven't played the game myself, but somehow I knew that it was going to be censored. "Censorship is like telling a man that he can't eat a steak because a baby can't chew it." - Mark Twain
It's wild how the discourse around Stellar Blade runs so similar to that with female Custodes in Warhammer 40k despite the core issue being so different. It's almost like the same people have just insane arguments that can't survive on their own without calling the other side incels, virgins, and angry white men; despite women hand over fist that are in the hobbies coming out and railing against the censorship of Stellar Blade and the cash grabbing pandering of 40k.
@@NetBattler During the orginal "Gamergate" controversy a few years ago it got revealed that all editors and writers of gaming magazines coordinated their editorial line (the opinion of the magazine on various issues) and which topics they wrote about and which topics they censored and what their opinion on each topic was. For this reason, there are no "reliable sources" that can be used by Wikipedia to correctly describe what happened during Gamergate and the content of the Gamergate article in Wikipedia is fake news that stems from those magazine writers who colluded to defame gamers and protect and praise the perpetrators in the Gamergate scandal.
Welcome to the left. Orwell observed a long time ago that these people don't care about the people they claim to champion, they just hate anyone who isn't part of their group.
Alyssa Mercante's way of thought: "Baldur's Gate have sexual relationships", well, maybe Hades II doesn't have and you already in heat, female version of Napoleon Dynamite... Oh, the hypcrisy...
The stuff these "normal" people are saying to those against the censorship is honestly getting me down, it's completely unacceptable behaviour. Whether they like it or not, the game was advertised to be uncensored!
I’m not playing SB, but I am really hoping that the campaign succeeds. It would be a great message to not just game companies, but hopefully even companies who’re meant to be responsible for anime and manga/light novels in the west
This is the best chance I"ve seen for gaming to actually fight back against what's been happening for a while now. Stellar Blade is poised to be a true cultural phenomenon.
I almost forgot who that dude was till someone brought out his old stuff and it’s was like “Oh yeah it’s that tard who compared having student debts to having cancer”
Why does Balders Gate, as an RPG, NEED to include “sexual relationships” Alyssa ? What does forming your characters genitals have anything to do with the story or the adventure ?
We can also ensure Sony to do the same with Baldur's Gate 3 as this game is found to have too much pörn scenes and nüdity, somehow with bëästality compared to Stellar Blade. Then, watch and learn what they will do for the game while we give them same reasonable words like "it's just a game", "why you care?", "Look at what happens when your children found out you have these disgusting urges." for future reference.
@@waynehiggins7950 Which is why it's important to identify as IGN member (or any ESG DEI supporter) and say the game is found to objectify women with bëästality pörn scenes made by those who never seen women in their lives according to inspiration from IGN. And say only straight white male don't want it removed. Instead of uproar, they obviously will love it, especially IGN and Alyssa
"It wasn't censored because everyone received the same uncensored copy". Do we have a different definition of uncensored? The game was censored via the a day one patch. I hate how every facet of the industry is infiltrated by radicals. The Console manufacturers, Game Companies, the Studios, the Journos. We should be living in an unprecedented era of Video Games and artistic freedom. All video games should be able to exist. But no, the activists don't want to live and let live. Only their stuff is allowed.
The activists are ultimately just useful idiots. A handful of old farts with more money than any single human should ever possess are behind this. They're completely isolated from the rest of humanity, utterly insane, and worst of all bought into their own bullshit.
I just saw sony is giving refund to people who bought stella blade for false advertisement. They never did refund for TLOU2. I wonder Is sony trying to cancel devs of stella blade?
I think it has more to do with them forcing shift up to make the changes. They want to keep shift up as a studio since they are a money maker and are offering refunds so it doesnt hurt the studios credibility with the public making them want to cut ties with sony
@@АндрейНеугодников-м6е They obviously want the same happen to Baldur's Gate 3 such as getting just some lines and performance fixes to remove sex doll animations made by those who "have never seen women in their lives"(it's their words on Stellar Blade) the next update as this game is found to have too much pörn scenes and nüdity, somehow with bëästality compared to Stellar Blade.

This censorship was nothing but a statement. Because it is the most pointless censorship I’ve ever seen by far. Very, very unnecessary. This was nothing but a statement to the people that were advocating for this game. I think very powerful people got to Sony. I also never thought one day we would reach a place where people would be on the side of corporations that are against freedom of expression and pro censorship, instead of siding with the citizens and their own neighbor that are trying to fight against censorship. Why, why are you siding with the corporation instead of your own neighbor and citizens?
@@lorecow88 When I see the word, I think morale debuff. Archaic definition maybe, but they could have some kind of bizarre blue/orange morality, or they could simply be straight up pure evil and have no morals to begin with. Also, some people might be under the impression that it's hip/cool, or part of their identity/ideals, when it's actually against them. The obsession with non-hetero preferences, is practically a self cull, as well as man-hating feminism (what better way to split a community than straight down the middle).
It's not that I really care about outfits... I'm just really disappointed that I was blatantly lied to. You can't sell your game with a demo, spouting 'We won't censor!' then you censor it the day after you get my money. Scummy. Edit: Game is still fun af, music still amazing, story is intriguing, and PLENTY of the costumes are very sexy. It makes it very weird and clear that Shift Up did the bare minimum censorship they could get away with.

The only way to excuse this is to have an option to switch between the censored outfit and the uncensored one. Forcing censorship into gaming is BAD. But censorship as a choice (Like Bayonetta) should be a preference, not BEING OBLIGATORY.
Imagine being censored in real life, you step out the shower, look down at yourself and all you see is a blur effect on parts of your body, that's how this patch feels.
Publishers always censoring developers. NIKKE was also forced to change Christmas Rupee cover animation from open legs to closed legs and adding a skirt to cover her rear.
There's a 1:1 comparison with real life here that I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention. Since we're specifically talking about Eve's clothing, couldn't it be compared to ordering an article or costume online and having it arrive, only to find it's not what you ordered? No one would tell you haven't a right to complain and at least return it for a full refund in that case. What so hard to understand about that? Post-patch, Stellar Blade is not the product people thought they were purchasing.
I'm sure someone's already pointed this out, but this 'demo isn't final content' is pure cope. The retail disc, you know, the final product, is uncensored.
"One gust of wind and their house of cards fall everytime" The gust of wind being people pointing out that stellar blade is an rpg and she still cosigns a game that has heavy fanservice
They aren’t gonna uncensor the game. It’s a Sony exclusive. It won’t be uncensored until it gets on the pc, and even then, they’re better off making their own website. It’s upsetting to see ARTISTS defend censorship of Asian games and art. It’s not surprising, but it’s upsetting.
