Boycotting over censorship? Really?

[Taurus Rex]

I understand that people are upset and believe me some of the censorship is stupid. Covering Rouge's back? Really Sonic Team? However, I don't think it should be enough to ruin your day. I would much rather have a remake that has censorship than a remake that is broken. Looking at YOU Sonic Colors Ultimate. Again, I'm not trying to say censorship is good. I think it's dumb. But to boycott the game over it? Don't you think that's a bit too insane?

People are loving to downplay the censorship by just harping on that one stupid article one person wrote about Rouge. It goes way deeper than that. The entire vibe of Generations was changed for the worst and there are very obvious changes that all swing towards, en excuse my language... Politically-correctness.

Besides that, the rewrite is already controversial among Sonic fans. So much so there's debates just about that alone.

I think you're just over-reacting

Sadly, I do not think he is. This game is just one more in line with many facing this type of problem. The movie industry has been balls deep in this for years and now the game industry is catching up. Just look at the new Assassin's Creed game. It was openly admitted the only reason for that main character is because of the 2020 "Summer of Love." It makes zero sense and now it may end up dismantling Ubisoft.

While this will no way truly hurt Sega, its damage to their reputation is enough. The main issue with JP games now is Western localizers who are forcing this crap in. The interview with the creators of Dragon Quest flat out said they were forced to censor the original art.

People will use the now confirmed "1 million units sold in 3 days" statistic to discount the concerns (mocking the whole "go woke go broke" saying, when that was never what I and others were chanting). It's sad that people don't understand how this starts and how little it affects sales in the beginning. It was going to be successful, but I'm not falling in line just because it broke 1 million.

Just stop coping and defending these companies who do this BS. A remake should only upgrade graphics and soundtrack. DO NOT TOUCH the story or alter anything for a modern audience. I love Sonic but will not drop a cent on anything that has DEI or censorship.

SEGA may have 1 million copies sold now... but deals made with the Devil always come with a catch later.

Do you have any proof of DEI in this game? Does Shadow come out as being gay? Pray tell.

Rouge and Amy edits and the end are proof enough, if you're blind it's not anyone problem.

Sure as hell ain't gonna be MY problem because I don't care. Do I think the censorship is silly. Yes but it does not ruin the game for me.

How do you know they were done for DEI purposes? Got any proof for that?

The title change absolutely reminds me of that UAC Spokeswoman in DOOM Eternal getting progressively pissed off by the Slayer the more he takes down the demons. It's hilarious to me.

In a vacum most would agree with you but this isn't our first rodeo. Hell not even the second one.
When Bethesda introduced Horse Armor DLC those that had experience with asian game sounded the alarm.
But people dismissed it because and I quote: "it doesn't affect the game play any."
Fast forward to today and the AAA industry is suffocating itself at the backs of live service games.
Then there was the whole mess with feminist frequency in the 2010s and once again those sounding the alarms were dismissed with and I again quote:"No one is trying to take you anime tits away"
And boy The sheer amount of examples I have for this one... But to see the culmination in one word: Concord.
So all I have to say is ignore our warnings at your peril.

Are you playing an act or are you just that petty?

Have you ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? How am I supposed to find the wolf when every time a new game or remake comes out it's "woke"?

Name one recent remake that wasn't censored or altered beyond a graphical upgrade.
