I'm getting frustrated with people being outraged by censorship

You are not helping.

I'm not? But he's triggered over something he can simply just ignore. Problem solved!

Censorship should be done with pragmatism and not voyeurism in mind. It is that simple. I always find it amusing how many plot devices developers will create (sometimes very poorly than others) just to find a reason/excuse to promote T&A of digital females. I have heard/read a plethora of reasoning, it is part of the story, she is evil and thus skanky (lol what a load but lets move on), oh sure she is like a child but is 1000 years old! (btw... a 1000 year old egg... is still an egg), so much so that at the end of of the day those "defenders" wind up saying stuff like "lighten up it is only a game"... ok... only a game... but you just spent hours, if not days, defending what?... digital t&a... if it doesnt matter it shouldnt matter if she is covered up or not. If it is only a game why be so salty at the lack of your digital booty? How is a character not sexing it up ruining the game for you? And if it is ruining the "game" for you... are you actually even playing... or just staring? =/

Do you really think people ONLY complain about a missing butt once it has been removed? Really?

Honestly, every time I hear an uproar about "censorship" it revolves around one form or the other of T&A... I dont ever recollect an uproar say... about removing the crosses in the earlier games of Castlevania... but on noes give a Succubus a bra and everyone screams MY FREEDOM!!!! pfft.

The shit that occurred during all of this was pretty insane.

I mean, at the end of the day the company can do whatever the hell it wants to it's own product. People can argue all day and all night about this that and the other thing, I think they're just trying to silence any influence that's against what they believe in (both sides)

This is why all that mess happened with the Nintendo employee who was conveniently canned after some questionable articles of hers were brought to light. Personally I believe what someone does/says outside of their job is their own business, particularly if it's only a belief and not an act, but at the same time this person used their status from their work to push their agenda. There are "social justice warriors" on both ends of the argument. Above all else, I'm kinda disgusted that people today are more disgusted by words and views moreso than actions.

Tbh I think that most of the people are just sick of hearing stupid news about feminism, social justice and politically correctness and don't want any of this in their video games. Games exist to forget reality for a couple of hours and have some fun, not to remind us of all the non-issues people are offended about.

Bringing up one or multiple problems in a clever way is always interesting, but when they are shoved down our throats like in the new Baldur's Gate expansion, people have every right to get angry.

lol

she was canned because she was found to have a second job of being a an escort looking for "sugar daddies" quoting her website real good PR for nintendo very family outlook

Hey, remember that time when Nintendo made games where the title screens had corpses? Or where their levels took place in torture chambers? Or their stories had plots of genocide and incest?
What happened to that?

This is pretty much me. I don't care whether horrible monster in front of me is wearing a bra, or if one optional outfit has more cloth on it than it could. I'd rather the artists be able to express themselves however they want, but in the end I just want to whip vampires and shoot robots, and find new games where I can repeat these actions. Being told that one character will no longer occasionally spank herself or one victory pose will be changed does not make my day any better.
