PS UK support about Senran Kagura censor: "If every game released was the same, why buy the next?"

It's a support grunt response that you're trying to blow out of proportion as some official Sony wide statement

Maybe they shouldn't let a support person say stuff they don't know about and make the whole company look bad, that statement kinda reads of someone that hasn't touched a videogame in their life.
It's a response from a customer support employee who is probably only trained to deal with basic purchase issues - and aren't making a ton of decisions around the Senran Kagura franchise.
You can tell the Sony rep is just so, so, so tired of this whiney bullshit. But I'm sure Reddit will eat this up.
First they came for the pinball. Now they are coming for our anime games.
We heard the warnings, but we didn't listen...

Wait... isn't the person just saying that this case isn't the same as previous Senran Kagura games? They're saying that there'd be no reason to buy any subsequent game if it was the same as the previous one, so games change. And a change in this case compared to the previous release enforced the stated censorship.
I'm not even sure what there is to be mad about here. They're not saying that every Senran Kagura game is the same.

So every game has allowed you to slap the breasts and tug the face of underage girls?
Intimacy mode indeed.
What a hill to die on for some of the gamers in this industry.

Some random idiots will call for the community manager to be fired for absolutely no reason in 4, 3, 2,
Honestly, they may not have. And they wouldn't need to. They're basically an employee at a help line, paid to follow a script. One that doesn't have a set response for 'outraged anime fan'.
Seriously, read that twitter thread. It's like the people talking to them think they're talking to the head of Playstation UK and the people on the twitter CLEARLY have no clue what the conversation is even about.
Learn to read some fucking social cues. It's like yelling at a Burger King cashier because corporate raised the price on their fries.

Maybe support shouldn't have to deal with people mad about their little girl anime games being less noncey especially when if you want the full pedophile, sorry, ephebophile experience you can just buy it on PC, it's not a normal occurrence at all
What was censored? Is "intimacy mode" the one where you dress the characters up and molest them?

The Venn diagram of Gamergaters and Senran Kagura fans is 80% close to being a flat circle, but I still think the response is pretty bad and support people shouldn't really reply these kind of questions cause it makes the whole company look bad.
"We don't want these nonce games on our platform anymore. Please go away."
The response is perfectly sensible "just because previously we didn't care does not mean we can't change our minds"
But sadly this person will get fired cause the Internet.

Hey man, everyone loves a good face tug. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
This game sure is mad creepy, huh?
I'm not sure what the point of all this is.
The person (or persons) handling that twitter account probably have no idea what the hell a "Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal" is and why everyone is annoyed about it.

It won't, since Yakuza isn't focused on sexualizing underaged girls. It's focused on sexualizing hunky dads.
"Support grunts" should not be freehanding incoherent responses on social media, unless your company has no fucking clue what it's doing.
I don't actually give a flying shit about Senran Kagura or whatever the censorship debate is here, but this is just terrible optics for PS to allow agents to write tweets that are this poorly composed. A simple "We can't comment on individual review cases, please contact the publisher for more information" would have sufficed.

The catsuit fights and especially the telephone mini game are entering a gray territory. It might be fine now but who nows how Sony thinks later.
The hostess mode in Yakuza is for of age women, and hardly the same as this

Which is like a straight up molestation simulator. Not to mention the young characters.
One can comment on Yakuza's sexualization and still think the above is a whole new level of "what the fuck is wrong with some of you?".
edit: Even tho its from YT, unembedded the above video
The response is awkwardly worded but the sentiment is sound--"Why is this cut out when it wasn't in previous games?" "If this game were the exact same as previous games, there'd be no point in buying it. Since it's different, there may have been a change to that specific mode in this iteration that made it something more important to cut. For specifics, please follow up with the publisher."
The wording is bad, and they should probably train reps to not even try with basic broad-base logical guesses as to why something happened in the face of fan rage, but the core of the statement tracks.
