Well this is ironic

Sony has already pressured the studio into censoring their games, so it wouldn't be surprising if this move was made as an extension of that.
I spent my teenage years advocating for freedom of expression when the media attacked games and movies, so to see the state of things today is morbidly depressing.
It took a lot of public discourse and work to avoid the "moral panic" that was pushed at the time. Girls were, for the very first time, openly exploring their sexuality and femininity along side men who were openly supporting them. Slowly, a girl wearing a miniskirt or a mid-drift wasn't a big deal. The outrage of the older generation for young girls doing so took quite a bit of time to soothe, but little by little it became clear that these girls were capable of making their own choices. Eventually it became normalized. We'd see "Girl's Gone Wild" commericals in the evenings while watching TV blocks such as Adult Swim. Howard Stern had a late evening show on TV that televised his morning radio broadcast -- a show that was hyper-sexual and free spirited, even by today's standards. The big joke at the time was how much things such as these offended and terrified the puritan Christian groups; a large reason Christianity became perceived as something archaic and unfit for consumption.
Now we fast forward to present day and the Christian's are essentially a non-issue; their moral outrage and puritanical beliefs have become adopted by activism extremists who have taken the reigns as our moral arbiters.
But for all of their unmitigated puritan outrage they never had a foundation of moral standards. Unlike their Christian counterparts, they lacked the moral framework. The theology they abided by was to worship themselves -- their ego and feelings. Their own anger and insecurity was what guided them, not some altruistic belief system of bettering society. This became apparent when each and every time the arguments they made for their activism revolved around painting a picture of being a victim. They weren't trying to protect others, they were only trying to make everything that may have made them feel insecure disappear. However, once they got that dopamine rush of praise for being a publicly perceived "underdog" everything changed. Others wanted in on that action too, and -- unsurprisingly -- the overwhelming majority of these people were women. Women who were bitter and angry that they couldn't receive the same privileges and attention that was typically afforded to societies most beautiful. So, they decided that the very standards of beauty itself had to be changed and they would dictate what men should find physically appealing; not even taking a moment to realize that attractive men are similarly afforded special treatment.
I really could go on and on writing about these things and how I see them, but its akin to screaming into the void. Besides, we all know how the story has ended up so far.
But the world I grew up in, and the world we live in, is not at all the pernicious hive of degenerates that the media makes it out to be. It never was.
For a group that continuously talks about being "pro-choice," they seem to have an obsession with removing everyone else's.
They're pro choice as long as the only choices available are the ones they approve of.
Yeah, see, that whole loosening of morals and publicization of sexuality was a mistake. You should have listened more closely to the christians.
I think it says "even content related to the game" where it gets cut off. That's funny.
Kind of ironic, but I think that's a discord thing.
Discord, where extortion, blackmail and child grooming is okay but anime tiddies?
Shut down everything.
Well, Discord received an "undisclosed" amount from Tencent so are you surprised?
Now I'm behind China being up to shady shit everywhere, but "child rape" was not something I thought was on their agenda.
Anything that disrupts the west is fair game
Brought to you by the same people who condemn a 17 years old for defending himself from a pedophile and that have no problem with Netflix's pedocumentary.
That’s probably true, but it would be easier to accept if they also announced that they were moving to IRC or another platform where their products can actually be discussed ASAP.
The entire series is fan-service and sexually suggestive content.
Someone high up is trying to kill it.
