[on a smartphone app, a nude female silhouette in a room]
Nudity is degenerate
Proof of our moral collapse
Western civilization is DOOMED
[on a renaissance painting is shown the exact same nude female sihoulette, standing in a seashell filled with falling pink leaves, by the sea]
Nudity is beautiful
Proof of our cultural superiority
Western civilization peaked then
as it should be.
this bs is the same reason women in America have a stigma for breastfeeding in public. no one wins when prudes make up the rules.
Ok but like... The game is Japanese though.
Well yeah but no shortage of games have to be changed in order to cross country lines. Sometimes in small ways sometimes in huge ways. Off the top of my head the pokemon Jynx/Rugela for instance used to look very much like blackface. They had to change it's color from black to purple to make it acceptable in the US. Or say Vivian in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year door, Vivian was a trans woman, but they modified it in the original english version. (though it was later added back in the remake)
Hell wolfenstein managed to sell in germany with a "remove all references to nazi's" requirement.
Point being, video games are no strangers to removing things they too controversial in a place they ship to.
went to pee, why is it pixelated!!????
No doubt, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just surprised some puritan group didn't lose their shit and force Nintendo to change it.
I think Japan has a different version if puritanism.
