I will like to point out that the "bubububu censorship crowd" hasn't said anything about Atlus changing a Soul Hackers character's name to remove a slur.
they didn't remove an underage character's skimpy clothing so it doesn't matter to them
A lot of people probably have no idea that was even a thing. I played the game and I didn't know at the time.
I'm sorry to break it to you but thats exactly what censorship is. The whole situation is a mess. Anybody who pretends the costumes being changed are the main issue didn't play the game because they actually helped the 2nd arc in the context of the plot of just what the idol industry is and what its like as an idol which was completely botched in the western version.
Likely cuz not a lot of people know of it but it also doesn't exactly excuse the case here, moot point
It's almost like there's a reason only certain examples of "censorship" blows up like this.
because a certain vocal and angry subset of anime fans love underage teen anime tiddy
It was going to be botched in the western version regardless because the cultural awareness of that element of the idol industry would be largely lost on most players. The change made at least allows Tsubasa to come put on top instead of forcing her to accept a shitty element of her industry.
So is it or is it not censorship and thus bad that Atlus changed a character's name to make it less offensive in a differemt market?
How is it not? It is literally the case in the first definition of censor wherever you look
by an outside entity ya dingus
That would've worked but this isn't about the western cultural awareness as you can still understand what its like through the game
At the end of the day I don't care if they are covering up some boobs but for fucks sake put some goddamn effort into the edits if your going to do them. Most of the edits made in this game are just straight up horrible looking and also kind of inconsistent as some risque stuff somehow still made it into the American version of the game.
The Treehouse is Nintendo's internal American localization office. Nintendo is funding the game.
They actually did something too to XB2, but it's for another game.

Are you serious... censorship is the act of a censor suppressing parts they deem objectionable it is literally someone doing it and is literally what is happening. Just because its a Nintendo game in all regions doesn't mean anything as the entities who wrote the dialogue originally and the ones who localized it are not the same. Trying to be technical cuz its the same parent company is dumb
What exactly is being suppressed? And by whom?
Not really though. The game explains a lot of the idol industry but you need the context of actually knowing about tbe industry to know the gist is how pervasive the gravure shit is. With or without that context, the Japanese version of the story presents it as a good thing that Tsubasa gives in to the shitty part of the idol industry.
But is removing the slur censorship?
I see this conversation is gonna go nowhere if I'm talking to a brick wall
It's gonna go nowhere because you don't understand a single thing you're talking about and refuse to achnowledge it. All in the service of underage anime tiddy.
lmao nice catch. Pretends to be all about "it's a different ENTITY doing this thing" and then turns around and reveals they still don't understand and are just putting up a facade recognizing the words used but not what they actually mean, proceeding to throw the baby out with the bathwater by reverting to an earlier stage in their argument that they were already denying. Sasuga, gamers
I do count those, I'm not hypocritical.
I gave an explained how the dictionary definition applies to the situation and you ignored all of it for the sake not being challenged
