So it looks like the Nier derivative work guidelines include ‘Do not engage in conduct that is contradictory to public order and morality, or exceeds what is societally acceptable.’
But as I’ve mentioned before, I feel like the content of the Nier franchise itself already crosses those lines…
The full guidelines can be found here, complete with contradictory statements about not using fan works for “commercial purposes” and yet being okay with doujinshi sold at Comiket.
It would not be at all surprising if some artists do what many Evangelion artists did: delete their accounts and all the associated art.
Phase 1: Use corpo wokeness to destroy one of the most prominent avenues of fan appreciation of a popular and financially lucrative IP that confuses even the creator who has stated on numerous occasions that he both enjoys and encourages this fan engagement.
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit
EDIT: On the other hand, when Blizzard tried to go after Overwatch porn all that did was Streisand Effect it and we see how that turned out.
Literally the only good thing that overwatch did
Overwatch was more known for its quality SFM porn than actual game's merit. It's both hilarious and sad.
Overwatch 2 trailer looks like trash compare to all the nice blender rendered porn.
Blizzard pretty much had to go after the people ripping their models from the game itself because of our weird copyright laws.
If you let it slide for one reason you have to let it slide for any reason.
Yoko Taro: "I need more fanart of 2B's ass. For... Research purposes."
Squenix: "We don't do that here."
Yoko: "But... I literally am the maker."
Squenix: "No, you are a slave, and I own you, and therefore own everything you make. You have no right to determine what is done with your creations. They need to be good, moral, China-approved works only."
Leftist media: we can't let Trump happen again.
Leftist videogame media: we can't let 2B's ass happen again.
So how is this any different to "I'll know it when I see it"?
Questioning the Committee of Public Safety is contradictory to public morality.
I mean with leftist "morality" drifting further and further into depravity, I don't even know what "public order and morality" they're appealing to.
Yeah that makes more sense. Good point. I'll have to keep an eye out for that stuff from now on.
no women that are attractive to heterosexual males. that's all.
What is up with this? capcom also put up guidelines that seem to be hostile to sexy mods lol.
