Blizzard censors Overwatch "leggings butt"

[76561198034985543]

Well then you think political correctness can't get any worse than this, LOL someone trolled Blizzard real good.

Apparently there is a female character with a yellow leggings in overwatch a knock off TF2 game basically thats costing $60 US.

Well someone pretending to be a feminist posted how such a body is unobtainable even though I have actually seen tons of butt in real life way better looking but whatever. I say that someone is pretending to be a feminist complaining about this because quite frankly no feminist can be this stupid.

Therefore it has to be a troll of some sort. BRB gonna complain about Demon Hunter being too sexy with her leggings in Diablo 3, lets see if they censor her butt aswell. Will suggest they cover her butt with a bed sheet.

I find all form of clothes and armour to be highly offensive, please remove them from all media.

[Unexpected]

political correctness is eating away at our video games, look at overwatch, GTA V and other non-specific examples

For health reasons i hope that doesn't happen

This is so frustrating, there are so many times and games where playing as a male character you can only be the big 6'2 foot muscle bound male that you cant help but feel emasculated because it doesn't give you the chance to be anything but that, World of Warcraft is a good example of this, you can't be a skinny or thin and toned human warlock, there is no other male build options so the only other choice is to play a female character, doesn't make you feel so great trying to project yourself in a game but bring up a female pose and next minute its fixed to accomodate one persons feeling because its "Sexual".

They are called progressive feminists. Game companies have no choice but to bend to their demands since there seems to be a large number of women playing video games these days but most of those statistics are highly inaccurate. Its gathered from people signing up for online profiles and claiming to be females. The actual reality number of female gamers are like 10%.

And with a little hard work, we can make the actual reality number negative three! Then videogame designers will never have to agree with people who aren't us, and our petitions will always set their artistic visions on the correct path. To youtubes! To twitters! Let us bring forth a glorious age of videogames and science!

Companies making design decisions you don't agree with is not censorship.

This is what makes me believe what Blizzard said about it.


Because they already weren't sure if they should keep the pose. You don't cave in and change something you feel strongly about after just one complaint.

You stay there and think so, you must be living in some kind of la la land.

In today's world the second you scream racism or oppressing women you will shut down any argument and win automatically. A company does not want to deal with the publicity so whatever they think will net them more money they do it this is why SF5 was censored.

has nothing to do with age rating dunno which idiot is dumb enough to believe that garbage seeing that there are so many other games out there that is far more sexualized and still has the same rating. A company works based on money thats the goal of any company, your gaming needs come after, not last but after.

Its very easy to shut down something if you cry racism or exploiting women sexually. And it DOES NOT matter if the accusation is true or not. I have worked in companies where people were fired based on accusations that were not even true. This one guy took a pic of a female worker and he was fired for "sexually assaulting" her with a iphone camera from 14 feet away. She actually claimed sexual assault via photography and she got him fired didn't matter if the claim was BS or false and it was just 1 complaint.

Would you also say that every claim of sexual assault is a fabrication from feminist co-workers?

Believe it or not, sometimes the sexualization actually is out of place and should be removed or toned down.

To get this point across, lets look at two sexualized characters and see how it works for one and not the other.

First off is Jessica Sherawat from Resident Evil: Revelations

Next is Bayonetta
http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bayo.png

Jessica is an agent of the fictional organization, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). Her job involves shooting villainous science projects. Despite this, she sees it fit to dress as if she has a photo shoot in five minutes. It's particularity jarring when compared to the more appropriately dressed Jill Valentine.

Bayonetta, on the other hand, is one of the few remaining members of the umbra witch clan and spends her days fighting angels. The entire game's theme is sexiness and Bayonetta's character and looks were designed with this in mind. Bayonetta's sexual design is entirely appropriate since it fits with her sexual personality. Also, the design of witches in general are based on 17th century witches who were sexual and cast magic with their hair, but I had trouble confirming this, so feel free to take this sentence with a grain of salt. Though I suppose not taking my word for it wouldn't really help any argument you'd make.


So to bring this back to the topic of feminism, I don't deny that they hate sexualization and will make a fuss until they get what they want. But that doesn't mean that they're the fault of every instance of a company removing sexual content. Sometimes the creators just don't like the way an idea turned out, and if removing that idea just so happens to be something a group you don't agree with would want, doesn't magically make it their fault.

Just remember that the person that started it all had zero issue with the character Widowmaker and her sexually suggestive pose.

Where did the "graphics don't matter, only gameplay matters" saying go?

I honestly don't know what's so horrible about censorship in stuff like this.

Censoring gameplay, I understand; censoring dialogue to something that sounds stupid as to not offend Tumblr, I get it; changing the enemies to something dumb looking as to not look as scary for the children, ok. Having one character not show their butt? I really don't know what's so bad. There are billions of better looking butts on the internet, and at your local strip club. If you are that desperate to look at a butt, you have Google Images on your side.

I just don't understand why doing something so small is so terrible.

Think her name was tracer.

Did you even read the article and original post? Sure it's stupid they removed it but Fipp originally just stated the butt pose didn't fit the character's role and style, but wouldn't mind it on widowmaker.

Not exactly feminist, per say.. But in all honesty , to just complain about a pose and having it removed is extremely ridiculous.

Well, nothing new and game damaging. people get ♥♥♥♥ removed from games all the time, it's much worse when they remove content that can affect gameplay.

Remove the unnecessary butt post from a sporty character, leave the slutty character still slutty. All from user input relieved in BETA, where such changes are made.

I don't think what happened is what the OP seems to think happened.

Good topic got get a bit of flaming going, though. Have fun with that.

Agreed with this quote and the quote inside.

[Marble]

If Blizzard were bullied into making the change then there would be something to talk about.

As it stands, someone made the suggestion, they agreed and made the change. There's nothing wrong with that.

I agree

[Doctor Dank]

Feminists says that women characters aren't appearing in Overwatch, they are sexual and the characters aren't very diversed. Try consider Winston, a F*CKING APE WITH HUMAN INTELLIGENCE! What do you feminists want anyway?

[ostar]

Thinking that not supporting sjws bullying the video game industry is the same as wanting a return to segregation and burning witches gave me quite the chuckle.

It's just high school/college/fresh out of college kiddies who have nothing to protest against making mountains out of mole hills.

Fortunately for us, the digital age has led to the ability to permanently record and catalogue people's (usually ♥♥♥♥♥♥) opinions.

[Orbital Føroysk 🪐]

Oh, sure.

Because I have nothing better to do than fap over a 3D animated butt.

"Women are not objects!"
I never said you were. Neither is your butt. I can't just pick up a butt like I can a pencil, can I? It's attached.

Haven't people got anything better to do than moan about a 3D ass? They must get a surge of 'moral righteousness' from 'stamping out the sexualization of women!'.

Edit: I didn't read any previous comments nor did I watch the video btw.

The big number of female gamers are in games like farmville and stuff. Its still considered a video game so there is where a lot of false statistics come from so when companies like Blizzard and Capcom censors their games you can't help but laugh at how stupid they are.

At Universities today there are degrees offered in "gender and peace studies" completely useless made up degrees for dunce who couldn't get the grades to do a real degree in science or engineering. Schools do it to get money, these people then use this nonsense degree to create more problems in the workplace or universities in general.

Jesus, this is one of the most horribly sexist and ignorant things I've ever read. Scratch that, I've read worse.
