Don't let them do it again.

Link to a Reddit announcement about it.

Steam Charts link with their laughable player stats for a brand new MMO.

Seems that Sega is really determined to kill the game at this point.

Also, reminder that Gwiz will never be a type 2.

I have the feeling that the answer is no, but I'm curious. They pretty much constantly made fun of Trump over (and before) his term, so I'm wondering if they've taken any shots at Biden.

Like I could totally see South Park introducing Joe Biden as a character who speaks in completely incomprehensible word salad and who can't stop touching and sniffing the kids and their classmates. Or at least that's what they'd do in a sane world.

So have they made fun of him at all?

So Hololive English Gen 2 just premiered a few days ago, and along with the new group of virtual idols comes a new manager for these idols. As has become tradition, the manager themselves has an anime character avatar, and is known as Omegaα.

Given that the entire premise of this new generation is that all of the characters are effectively Gods, or at least representations of aspects of the universe (space, time, etc), it makes sense that this new manager is also a Godlike being. The thing about Omegaα though is that they explicitly state in their profile that they have no sex or gender. They are a creature outside of the concept of gender, completely lacking in genitals - a divine being that may in fact be a literal God.

So of course some SJWs came around and began asking what their pronouns were. The response was this where they say that their pronouns do not matter. And while that COULD mean that the person behind the character is a pronounfag SJW... I think it's more likely that the account is run by someone (or someones) who legitimately doesn't care about pronoun bullshit but was given this genderless character as their avatar, without it being their personal choice.

Cue Reddit and Twitter SJWs screaming at how happy they are to have "nonbinary representation" in their internet waifus.

First of all... Even by SJWs' own definition... that's not what nonbinary means. As far as we know, this character literally has NO genitals and no mental concept of gender, because they exist beyond such human concepts. I mean yeah, it's still stupid, but they're already rallying behind this character that doesn't even seem to have any interest in the bullshit that they're trying to associate with them.

So yeah, Hololive has opened up a can of worms and only bad things can come from this.

Like, just about every game company is virtue signalling SJW bullshit these days... but I wonder... how many of them probably legitimately support SJWism, and how many are just pretending to in order to avoid controversy/make money?

Which ones do you think are legit cancer, and which ones are just acting retarded for that sweet $$$$?

Sorry if the title sounds kind of condescending, but I can't believe how much blind support there is of Israel on here. This isn't a left-wing vs right-wing issue, but I feel like a lot of right-wingers (of which we have many here) are just blindly siding with Israel solely because the leftists tend to side with Palestine. But there's a lot more that's happened over in the middle east over the last several decades than I think you all understand, and so I would like to explain it all by comparing it all to a concept that I feel like you guys will understand better.

Let's say that today, right now, the United Nations releases a statement that "people of color" have been oppressed for far too long, especially in the United States, and that they demand that America give up a section of land exclusively for black people to live in.

Puppet-In-Chief Joe Biden agrees with this sentiment, and immediately declares the states of California, Oregon and Washington state to be an exclusive land for black people, now collectively known as Wakanda, with it's capital in former Hollywood.

People of other races are then literally dragged out of their homes by armed Wakanda police, and told that they need to hit the road. In Wakanda, if you are not black, then you have no right to be there, and you must leave your homes, jobs, and all of your possessions behind, which will then be reclaimed by black people. Those who resist this forced eviction are either jailed or killed.

But most of America doesn't care. After all, they live in New York, or Florida, or wherever, and they're so far away from the borders of Wakanda, so what does it matter to them? There are even some American supporters of Wakanda, who believe that black people do indeed deserve their own personal ethnostate, and that those complaining about having to leave their homes are just being racist.

Over the next few years, there are some scuffles at the border between Wakanda and America, but not a lot really happens. Sure, there's a lot of people who really want to go back to their homes in what is now Wakanda, and there's also a ton of people who would love to visit the "holy land" of media, Hollywood, but there's not much that anyone can do about it.

But some years later, Wakanda decides that while this new ethnostate of theirs is great and all, it could actually be a lot bigger. After all, there's so many black people, and don't they really deserve more reparations for all the suffering they've endured over the years? So the Wakanda army marches past their borders, and into Idaho, Nevada and Arizona, and starts taking over these states by force. The citizens of these states ask for help from the American government and other allied nations, but their requests are all denied, saying that it would be racist to fight against the Wakandans, and that they should just let Wakanda have the land that they rightfully deserve.

Unable to stand it any longer, the people being forcefully thrown out of their homes by the spreading Wakandan territory finally take up arms. If no one else will help them for fear of upsetting the Wakandans, then they will have to stand up for themselves. They form a militia called the American Patriots, who believe that Wakanda has no right to the territory that they've been given and have taken from others. This is their land, American land, and they are going to fight to take it back.

Initially, the American Patriots have only good intentions - they want to take back their homes that rightfully belong to them, and they are willing to do whatever is necessary to reach that end. However, the international community immediately brands the American Patriots as a racist terrorist group for daring to criticize and attack Wakanda. This pisses them off, but they don't care, they know that Wakanda has no legitimate right to this land, and they are willing to fight and die for what they know is right.

Wakanda starts to get overpowered by the American Patriots, and it almost seems like the Patriots might be able to regain some of their lost land. But Wakanda then cries for international help to fight against the terrorists, and in swoops China to save them. China starts giving a bunch of money and weapons to Wakanda, and the tide of the war is immediately shifted. The Patriots suffer huge losses, and are pushed back out of Wakanda, and even further, as Wakanda then pushes into Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, absorbing them into Wakanda as well.

The international community cheers as Wakanda defeats the so-called terrorists, who were just trying to take back their homeland. China continues to throw tons of money and weapons at Wakanda, and their economy booms like crazy, making Wakanda one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world. On top of that, it has now been declared that criticism of Wakanda or support of the American Patriots is now criminalized in some parts of the world, and you can face jail time for not picking the "right" side of the conflict. Of course, even in nations where it isn't outright illegal to support the Patriots, you will likely be branded as a racist and have your life and career ruined for not siding with Wakanda.

Some decades pass, and Wakanda has pushed even further into the former United States territory, taking over everything west of the Mississippi River, all while the international community cheers on their hostile war against America. Wakanda becomes even more powerful than before, now having weapons that completely dwarf anything the crumbling United States has. America is in a pretty bad state at this point, with their government and economy having effectively fallen apart, and the vast majority of it's people now living in poverty.

However, despite the fact that Wakanda has become an extremely wealthy superpower ethnostate, they still claim that they are oppressed, and they are especially oppressed by their neighbors to the east, the United States. You see, by this point, the American Patriots have grown extremely angry, and even more aggressive than they had been before. They are fueled by hatred against the Wakandans for pushing them out of their homeland, and many of them have become total extremists - not just wishing for their land back, but wanting to eradicate the Wakandans from the face of the Earth. However, due to the extremist nature of their warfare at this point in time, support for them is extremely low.

But there really isn't much that the Patriots can do anyway. Though their weaponry was fine back in 2021, their infrastructure has completely fallen apart, and their technology has barely advanced at all in decades, so their weapons are woefully underpowered compared to the Wakandans. Regardless of how hard they fight, and regardless of what underhanded, downright twisted tactics that they employ, they really stand no chance against Wakanda's advanced weaponry.

But despite the fact that the Patriots, and Americans in general stand no chance whatsoever in a war against Wakanda, the Wakandans still cry to the international community that they are being oppressed and attacked by the Americans, and especially the Patriots. Of course, the fact that Wakanda regularly drops bombs for seemingly no reason across the Mississippi River is quietly swept under the rug by international news. Similarly, the international community constantly bends over backwards to support Wakanda, and even supports the fact that Wakanda has built a giant wall all along the Mississippi River to prevent Americans from getting through, all the while sniping at Americans for fun from the top of it.

Once in a while, the American Patriots will somehow manage to get their hands on a bomb and try to launch it over the wall to attack the Wakandans - less so to try and win the war at this point (because they know they can't), but moreso as a "fuck you" to them for pushing them this far. Most of the time, that bomb fails to go off and just crashes harmlessly to the ground, since it was made decades ago and was sold to them by some shitty third world country. Once in a while though, the bomb actually does go off and manages to injure or kill one or two Wakandan citizens. The Wakandan response to this is to carpet bomb entire cities in America, reducing them to ash, even violating international law by bombing things like hospitals and critical infrastructure, all while the international community sweeps these war crimes under the rug and weeps for Wakanda for having to deal with these evil American terrorists.

But even when the Patriots aren't attacking Wakanda, Wakanda still makes up excuses to attack America. Every minor slight against them is a justified reason to bomb America, whether it be because an American child threw a rock at a Wakandan child, or because an American man said a racial slur to a Wakandan man, or just because it's Tuesday and they have so many bombs that are just aching to be dropped. For no real reason at all, Wakanda will attack America, and every time they do, we are reminded by the media that actually, America deserves to be attacked because they refuse to stop letting those extremist terrorists attack the poor, innocent, defenseless Wakandans.

But even as Wakanda goes way too far, over and over again, we are constantly told that we should feel sorry for Wakanda. That we should apologize for the years and years of racist oppression that the Wakandans faced, even though the Wakandans have had bloody hands since long before Wakanda was even established. Of course, this is because Wakanda now controls the media, the banks, and many major corporations, so for the most part, the only angle we ever get to see is the pro-Wakanda angle. Of course, to point any of those truths out makes you a racist.

But finally people are starting to wake up. People are starting to see that sure, the Patriots are shitty people who do a ton of shitty things, but if it weren't for the fact that Wakanda took over their country, drove them out of their homes and pushed them into poverty, they wouldn't have any reason to hate or fight against the Wakandans. In truth, the Wakandans have absolutely no right to the land that they stole from the Americans, and in any just world, the international community would be running to the aid of the Americans, rather than making up excuses for why the attempted genocide of all American people was justified.

And that, my friends, is a pill that you can more easily swallow, explaining to you exactly what is REALLY going on between Israel and Palestine, and why Israel are unquestionably the bad guys.

I first saw it a long time ago, but I was just reintroduced to the subreddit WitchesVsPatriarchy, which seems to be a completely serious subreddit about how it's users believe they are literal witches, who are using actual magic and curses to defeat the patriarchy.

Warning, wall of text blog incoming.

This is gonna be pretty long, but I want to get this all off my chest. I've posted about this in brief before, on other accounts on Reddit, but I want to get into it all in more detail.

I was born into a family that was, day 1, extremely supportive of gay people. This is because my aunt was openly a lesbian, and my mom was openly bisexual. I wouldn't say the family was like... weird about it, or obsessed over it like the modern day SJWs and their ilk do, but we were all generally supportive of gay people and such. I was always told growing up that being gay was normal, and that people who hated gay people were bad.

But none of that was really important to me for most of my early life. It was just an "okay, gay people exist and we should treat them like we treat everybody else". But keep in mind, this was the late 80s/early 90s, so being openly gay was generally not well accepted by society just yet, and the concept of "transgender" simply didn't exist - but rather, they were "drag queens", "transvestites" or "crossdressers", and most of them were gay. But the idea of them being "the opposite gender" was pretty much nonexistent, at least to my childhood mind. Nobody, at least around me, ever considered them to be anything but gay dudes in dresses.

Fast forward to me being a young teenager in the early 2000s. At this point, people being gay was beginning to become more accepted by society, though things like gay marriage were still extremely controversial. It seemed like at the time, the general consensus of most of society was "okay, gay people are kind of weird but we should still treat them the same as everyone else... but maaaaybe letting them get married is going a little too far", at least from my perspective. My personal view at the time was "Gay people should be allowed to get married, but I don't want to watch gay men kiss or anything, that's kinda gross. Lesbians though? That's pretty hot". And still, "transgenderism" still didn't really exist at this point, or at least it was still hiding in the closet.

Fast forward a bit more, and at this point I was around... I wanna say 16 or 17 years old. I was having a really rough time in life, suffering from serious depression and dealing with abuse from my family, as well as having just broken up with my girlfriend (because she was crazy). It was one of the lowest, most depressed parts of my life at the time, and honestly, I was suicidal as fuck and had no idea how I was going to go on. Some days, I would just lay in bed and cry, and daydream about how my life could have played out if various things had just happened differently. Butterfly effect type stuff, like "what if my mom never met my stepdad?" or "what if my mom hadn't been a drug addict?" or... "what if I had been born a girl?". Where would I be now if these things were just a little bit different, where I took the right road instead of the left road?

I became lost in these fantasies, imagining where I might be if things were just a bit different. But one of these fantasies became dominant over all the others - what would have happened if I had been born a girl? As I played out these scenarios in my mind, I became convinced that many of my problems would likely have never happened, had I been born with a vagina. But at this point, this was just a fantasy. I was just imagining what it might be like. I didn't consider myself "transgendered" - I'd only barely just started hearing people talk about it, and I thought it was pretty damn weird, to be honest. But still, I hoped and wished that I had been born a girl, or that I could die and be reborn as one. Surely that would have fixed all of my problems, I thought, in my depressed, desperate mind.

I wanted someone to talk to about this. But who could I tell? I didn't want my friends to think I was weird. They would definitely tease me, and call me a sissy or something. Or at least, as far as I could imagine, my MALE friends would definitely tease me for this... but I figured that my sole female friend might actually listen and care about me. So I sent my online female friend a message, telling her about these sexually confusing fantasies I've been having about being a girl... and she quickly responded.

Little did I realize the mistake I had just made. A mistake I wouldn't realize for years to come.

She immediately began to shower me in sweet words, telling me that she knew precisely what my problem was, and how it could be fixed. She told me that the answer to my questions was obvious - that I was transgendered. She explained it to me as something along the lines of "God made a mistake, and put you in the wrong body. You're really a girl trapped in a boy's body". She explained it to me as if it was an absolute truth, leaving me with no room to argue against it. As far as she was concerned, the fact that I even considered that I should have been born as a girl was proof enough that I was 100% transgendered.

But... I wasn't entirely convinced. I mean, it sort of made sense to me, but I was still not completely sure that this is what I really wanted to believe. So she told me that she would help me find a support group that would help me come to understand what I was feeling. This was back in the AOL days (and yes, I did in fact have AOL far longer than anyone logically should have), so she invited me to one of AOL's user made chat rooms - a chat specifically revolving around MtF transgendered people.

They welcomed me with open arms. They immediately began to shower me with love, affection and praise. They told me that it was okay, I didn't have to pretend to be something that I wasn't around them. I could be the girl I truly was. They told me that I was so very strong and brave for admitting my true feelings. They told me that even if I didn't fully understand what it was I was feeling, they would help me understand it. They would teach me what it was to be transgendered, and how I could take steps to become the girl I was always meant to be. They told me that they would support me in any way they could, and that they wanted to see me blossom into the beautiful butterfly that I truly was inside.

And I fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

By the end of our very first chat, that very first day, I was completely convinced that I was transgendered. God made a mistake, or rather, since I was scientific-minded, they explained it better in another way. They explained that during our development in the womb, we all start out as females, and at some point during development, some of us switch to being male. However, sometimes the wires get crossed, and someone's body develops into a male, but their brain remains stuck as a female. Or, on the other hand, sometimes their brain develops as a male, but their body never develops into a male. That made sense to me, at the time. It explained why I was always such an effeminate sissy growing up - I never really WAS a boy at all! I was mentally a girl all along, trapped in a boy's body!

After this, they began to link me to various websites that would explain further what it was to be transgendered, and told me to read up on all of it. I'll get to the content of those sites in a moment. But also, on this very first day of me being told that I was actually transgendered, they also asked me what city I lived in, and when I told them, they began to link me to nearby doctors who would formally diagnose me as being transgendered and prescribe me female hormone drugs. Never once did they ask me "Are you sure this is what you want?" or anything like that. They were already telling me that I NEEDED to get pumped full of estrogen, and time was of the essence.

Also, they made sure to tell me that it was okay that I was attracted to boys, because since I was a girl, I was actually straight! Except I told them that I was NOT attracted to boys at all - so they quickly backpedaled and told me that was absolutely fine too, because being a lesbian was completely normal! I was a lesbian in a man's body, and I always had been, and they had managed to hammer that into my brain on the very first day.

Also, before I continue, I'd like to point out that in hindsight, my female friend who got me into this whole mess was extremely suspicious to begin with. Basically, she couldn't seem to decide whether her own name was spelled Erica, Erika or Ericka. It seemed like every time her name was brought up, it had a different spelling. Chances are, she was probably trans herself and I never knew it.

So I started browsing these websites that they recommended (and no, I don't recall what they were, and they probably don't even exist anymore), and learned all sorts of new things about myself. These MtF trans-oriented websites enforced the idea that I was suffering from a lifelong medical condition, and that I really and truly was the gender that I identified as (and remember, I didn't really identify as a female until an hour prior), and it was society's fault that I hadn't been accepted as the gender I was always meant to be.

The sites explained that the world was inherently bigoted, and a major reason for that was because it was run by men. Men were the root of all evil, and if women - who are inherently more compassionate and loving than men are, were in charge of society, I would never have had to experience the awful oppression I had been subjected to - an oppression that I was not even aware of until that very day.

But they already had me in their grasp. I soaked every word up like a sponge. I began reading article after article about how I was a victim of oppression and bigotry, and a victim of a society that refused to accept me for who I truly was. They never used the word "patriarchy", at least that I can recall - this all happened before that word became commonplace, but it was all effectively the same thing as the SJW dogma of today - trans people, gay people and women were all victims of an inherently bigoted society, ruled by evil men, and only when those of us who were marginalized began to take over, would this world ever be free from the bigotry that I was certain that I was now facing. Also, no, I don't recall race being a major factor of the indoctrination at this point.

I visited the chat room every day. I browsed their recommended sites every day. Every day was yet another study into indoctrination into their cult, and at the time, I had no doubt that everything they were telling me was true. Within a matter of weeks, I was completely converted into the cult, which I had come to know as Feminism. It wasn't just about being trans anymore, it was about being part of a larger group of oppressed people, and only by uniting with other victims of oppression could we gain the rights and respect that we deserved. I was a Feminist, and to me, that was a term of empowerment. I now had allies who would support me, who would treat me like the woman I truly was. I didn't have to pretend to be a boy anymore! Even though just a few weeks prior, I didn't even consider any of this to be a part of my life.

But just being transgendered, just being a Feminist was not good enough. Obviously, I had to begin transitioning as soon as possible (which never happened, thankfully), but there were things I could do in the immediate moment that would help both me and the cause I now fought for. Simply put, I had to make sure that every single person I knew was aware that I was a girl, and that Feminism was the true path forward. Of course, I had been taught by the chatters and their websites that if anyone refused to accept that I was actually a woman (despite having a penis) or if they refused to adhere to Feminist beliefs, then they were bigots, and I was to cut them out of my life without hesitation.

I didn't have to actually cut many people out of my life myself though - because a lot of them did it themselves. I made sure to tell all of my online friends that I was now identifying as a female, and that I had a new female name that they had to refer to me as, along with female pronouns. Most of them responded to this with "What the fuck are you talking about?" or something along those lines. I quickly cut them out of my life. Others stood beside me, and respected my new identity... but even they quickly began to walk away as I became more and more radical. I began to go on angry rants to them about how all men needed to be killed, and that science was practically on the verge of creating sperm in a lab so that men would no longer be needed and we could happily genocide them all so that women could become the new rulers of Earth. When they called me crazy, I blocked them. When they said "lol but you ARE a man", I blocked them. But as I said before, most of them just ended up blocking me because they were sick and tired of hearing me rant like a lunatic about how straight men were destroying the world.

Eventually, my only online friend besides Eric/k/a remaining was this one gay guy I knew. Side note: Said gay guy had a gay online boyfriend who was an adult, when he was still a minor, and when his parents went on vacation, this predator flew across the country to meet up and have sex with my friend. He insisted that he was happily in love with this guy, and I even, at the time, celebrated his love, but now I realize just how fucked up it was. Fast forward a few years later and he starts referring to himself as trans... and also he now believed that was a Pony (as in, an MLP Pony) and when I refused to call him by his new Pony name instead of by his online handle I'd called him for years, he blocked me. Oh and by the way, no clue what happened to Eric/k/a, she just disappeared one day and I never heard from her again, but she was on my side through all of this so I don't think she blocked me or anything.

I was too afraid of being judged by my IRL friends though, to tell them that I was trans. But that didn't stop me from aggressively pushing my new Feminist beliefs on them - which of course made most of them stop talking to me. But as far as I was concerned at that time, they were just bigots, so it was no big loss to me. I ended up coming to my mother that I was trans though, and she was 100% supportive about it, which wasn't surprising given my family's history. She even went out and bought me women's clothes to wear, to make me feel more comfortable with myself.

...And uh... it looks like I'm running out of space to type here, so... I guess I'll have to continue the story down in the comments.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/915200/Republique_VR/

Saw this in a bundle just now and it sounds interesting in theory, but uh... Knowing the [CURRENT YEAR], a game about being a hacker, fighting against a totalitarian state, sounds like it miiiiight be full of SJW bullshit. Does anyone know if this is the case?

In the newest episode of MHA (Season 5, Episode 5), one of the opponents that the main characters are facing in training has the hero name "Vantablack", spoken in English (well, Japanese dude speaking English).

The official subtitled translation however changes his name to "Vantadark".

Seeing as how Vantablack is an ACTUAL THING, it's pretty obvious why the translator decided to change "black" to "dark". Because uh, apparently saying the word "black" at all is racist in 2021!

A bit out of the loop here, but now I see KiA talking about it but no one seems to be explaining what happened in the first place. All I've been able to gather is that some SJWs are trying to copyright strike people because they criticized them. But can someone give me a more detailed explanation? Like, everything, from the beginning?

It seems like every week now, Sega manages to censor something else in each new PSO2 patch. Last week it was changing the term "Master" to "Handler" and changing "Blacklist" to "Blocklist", so... What did they decide to censor this week?

In PSO2, you can get costume parts called Layered Wear, which come in 3 sections - Innerwear (underwear), Basewear (clothes) and Outerwear (jackets and such). Well, this week brings us a censored bit of Basewear, specifically the "Hariette Battlewear [Ba]".

This is what it looks like in Japan. It has an open chest area that allows your innerwear to be seen through it. This is what it looks like on the global servers. And no, that isn't the innerwear visible in the chest area - that's just how they covered it up. I mean, that IS the matching Hariette Battlewear innerwear, but that also exists as a separate layered wear part. They've just made it a physical part of the basewear to cover up the chest too. In fact, you can see this character's actual innerwear, which is that red bit of panty visible in the image, proving that the basewear is now covering the chest.

So yeah, this is the first instance of costume censorship since the launch, which had us lose the Smart Innerwear, which was basically titty pasties. Also to drive home how completely stupid this is, one of the outfits in the game that was NOT censored is the Luna Prophecy which is far more risque than the Hariette Battlewear. Can't wait until they start going back and retroactively censoring costumes that might upset someone.

There may be more censorship in this update, we don't know just yet, but this was the first and most glaringly obvious one that people noticed. I dunno about you guys, but I'm voting with my wallet. I'm not giving Sega a single penny anymore.

To recap what's already been censored in the past:

1. Raising the minimum height of characters compared to the JP version.

2. Altered one of the innerwear outfits to be less risque.

3. Changed 2 story scenes to put nude characters in clothes. (For the record, you couldn't see anything anyway).

4. Completely removed multiple side story scenes with characters bathing, even though you couldn't see anything anyway. (For the record, these scenes were fully dubbed and exist in the game files, but have been dummied out and are inaccessible.)

5. Changed the name of the Slave weapon series (Slave Calibur, Slave Shooter, etc) to Raven (Raven Calibur, Raven Shooter, etc). (Note: This was quietly changed AFTER these weapons were already available for quite some time.)

6. One of the guild bases you can have is a hot springs area, which is divided into two sections, one for males and one for females. In the JP version, there are impassible barriers preventing the incorrect gendered character from entering through the wrong door. These barriers were removed in NA.

And now, we have two brand new instances of censorship that came along with the Episode 5 release, which just came out today. Both of these changes are to things that were already in the game to begin with since the game launched and are only now being changed.

7. You get a miniature helper character called an Auxiliary that can run collection quests for you. They're supposed to be little robots without any sentience. They typically referred to the player as "Master". Well, now they refer to you as "Handler"...

8. The term "blacklist" has been changed to "blocklist".

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that the initial arguments that the game was being censored due to legal requirements is a load of bullshit, and in reality, there's a group of SJWs in the localization team changing things to appease their cult.

Cause quite frankly I'm sick and tired of living in a place that is dominated by this crazy bullshit. Where can I move to where I won't be guilt tripped for being white and not believing in psychotic SJW doctrine?

In the Japanese version of PSO2, in one of the bases that you can have for your guild, there's a hot springs area. There's two separate entrances to the hot springs, one for male characters and one for female characters. You will find that depending on which gender you're playing as, the opposite gender's entrance will be blocked off by an impassible barrier.

In the English version, the gendered barriers were removed entirely.

I think this is proof that the censorship afflicting PSO2 isn't just for legality reasons (which is the common excuse by defenders of the censorship in PSO2) - it's done by SJWs with an agenda to push.

Even though not one single person (that I saw) was even complaining about it, Sega quietly changed the names of multiple weapons in the English version of PSO2 in this week's update patch.

There's a set of weapons called the Slave series, where each one is "Slave ___". In Japan, they're all called Slave. In the west, they were all called Slave until this week. But now, they've been renamed to Raven.

Now people are suddenly coming out of the woodwork going "Yikes! They actually had weapons called Slave Shooter and Slave Chain!? That's racist! It's much better this way!"

On the flipside, I've also seen people now referring to black people as Raven to make fun of the whole thing being SJW idiocy.
