When FE:Fates was localized, the head patting feature was removed in the american version. This causes the weebs to go and be outraged about it and talking bout how they refuse to buy the game. Thankfully their cries are muted out by regular people who shouldn't care about this feature

And now Sony has gotten rid of that feature in future games, looks like the Weebs got what they deserved for importing games like these instead of quality games like Yakuza.

I'm not particularly bothered by this, but Jesus Christ you are poisoning the well man.

Looks like we're still shaking off the Japanophobia that was rampant during the previous generation

It's been quite fun seeing weebs screeching and squealing for their right to grope children in video games these past couple of days... sad, disturbing little buggers, them weebs.

You do you - if the censorship of underage frottage sims is Japanophobia, I'll take two.

I am confused, was the weeb comment sarcasm? I know I have debated with you in the past about these types of fanservicey games and I remember you usually falling on the side of pro Japanese games of all stripes. I distinctly remember you once claiming that female characters in Western games were all ugly while Japanese female characters were beautiful. I distinctly remember in regards to Fire Emblem Fates, you being the guy that bought into some conspiracy theory that With Iwata?s death, Nintendo was going to start censoring itself to appease the West.

On topic: while Japan?s penchant for fetishizing 16 and under girls often gets super creepy in my opinion, Sony issuing a sort of blanket ban seems a bit heavy handed, it?s their platform, but hopefully They don?t get Carried away, while Senran Kagura is not my cup of tea, I would prefer we get as many games localized as we can.

Man, I hate people who categorize me for just one aspect of my life. Besides, at least I'm not one of those weebs, am I right?
No kidding, right? Sure is nice to put that out in the open! Those gosh darn weebs and their... animes and pocky. Thanks Gyrobot for being the pinnacle of normal for us all and showing me the proper way to enjoy games!

All that aside, I mean... Ok? Sure it's weird. Sure it's Japan. I don't even get why you'd want this feature in the first place. I understand fan service and all, but this kind of fan service is so strange, and I say that as someone who loves JRPGs the most. I guess this is what people want, and won't buy a game for unless they have it? I dunno man, you do you in that case. But surely the entirety of games with these features isn't hell bent on being good on this feature alone, right?

That's just Sony of America. Japan is fine so I'm just gonna import those few games. No big deal. Unlike with the nintendo controversy where the 3ds was region locked so you had to import a whole new 3ds to get to play the Japanese version of the game, ps4 is region free.


Sucks for people who can't speak Japanese though.


I do have to say it is a funny worldline we're in though, where Steam allows outright eroge with unpixelated genitals showing (which is more than the pixelated versions shown in Japan) but Sony removes skinship modes. I don't know when but the roles turned here.


Oh and everyone who is into senran kagura and is upset about this, check out Evenicle on steam, it has art by the senran kagura artist and is a fantasy rpg about a quest to fuck your sisters. Best of both worlds.

It is a history of love and hate. My relationship with the niche fanservice is always been love/hate since the localization hub bub involving Yakuza and the bitterness certain Sony fanboys have with the niche companies.

I mean, is anybody actually shocked that Sony of America is banning something that could be actually ruled illegal with the now-conservative Supreme Court the US has? Like, sub-18 characters in sexual situations is on extremely shaky ground to begin with, and now we've got the nationalistic Christian brigade in charge.

If anything, such content is more likely to be seen as legal now since it makes more money for corporations to be allowed to sell it than to not be and the courts always side with corporate interests.

Also this policy was in place for months already since they used it to ban Omega Labyrinth Z back months ago, before the courts changed.

It was a smart bet to think that Trump was going to get at least one more SC pick before the end of his term, though I thought it would've been Ginsberg.

And if you think the GOP being regressive against "the wrong sorts" would be prevented by losing them money, well, check out how many billions of dollars red states are willing to lose trying to spite LGBT folks.

The American "left" (ha!) is pro-corporate to the extreme but will begrudgingly accept some social reform if the corps back it, the American "right" is pro-corporate and extremely evangelical. A good chunk of them aren't worried about the environment going to shit because they think they're going to be raptured before they die. And popular media is "leftist", so fuck'em.

The GOP and the Christian Right are 100% not on the side of a foreign entertainment corporation importing foreign games where you grope 16 year olds.

Bait, into intolerance, into slurs, into xenophobia, into Trump on thread about corporation over reacting to 'social media feedback' of less than 10% of their customers. Riveting.

Nintendo Treehouse disappears on us, some Brits with horrendous accents are now localizing Nintendo games with all the fanservice intact, and now Sony has become the new Nintendo Treehouse.

What an unexpected turn of events.

... and apparently weebs are pedophiles, hmm. Well, the bulk of them are fapping to ultra-titty Bowsette or 2 dudes going in barebacked.

I'll just point out the first comment in OP's link, "underage lesbians and child molesters are fine as long as Naughty Dog creates them." But I'll one up that one. Don't google Last of Us SFM porn, because most of it is Ellie and Sarah. It is revolting. It is the closest thing to actual child pornography as possible. Sony fans, y'all fucked up.

It ain't the Japanese making and watching these, that's for sure.

Yeah, but they're not getting fetishized by Naughty Dog, are they? One simple kiss between two 14-year old girls, and a creepy pedo clearly framed as a creepy pedo hardly stacks up to the years worth of questionable content from Japan featuring underaged girls getting sexualized. Not even the Metal Gear franchise or One-Punch Man is free of it.

But I'll one up that one. Don't google Last of Us SFM porn, because most of it is Ellie and Sarah. It is revolting. It is the closest thing to actual child pornography as possible. Sony fans, y'all fucked up.

Don't worry, the Japanese make plenty of their own close to realistic, underage CG porn.
