The only reason there's drama behind it is because radical leftists are furious that the game sports a beautiful female protagonist with sex appeal. Here in the West, the left has made it clear that a beautiful female protagonist isn't something that can happen. Any female character in a video game must be uglified or made less pretty. Why? Because it could harm people's feelings and harm their self-confidence. It should be noted that studies have shown this to be a lie, but the narrative must survive for the left to have the excuse to push censorship and box-checking.The game finally dropped on Friday and quickly became the third-highest-rated game by user score in PS5 history. I'm one of the people who bought the game and have been playing it over the weekend. Suffice to say, it's good. But the release of the game was marred on day one by a patch that took some of the costume and gore effects and censored them for Western audiences. Other countries, such as Japan did not undergo these censorship patches to the main character's outfits that covered up more skin. This caused gamers to revolt against Sony, with former Blizzard employee turned free speech activist Mark Kern leading a charge to convince people to cancel their memberships to the PlayStation network to punish Sony.
So far, Kern has succeeded in taking a fat chunk out of Sony's membership stockpile.Kern also has an ongoing petition encouraging Shift Up to revert back to the uncensored version of the game. As of this writing, it has over 50,000 signatures.

Naturally, this has led to members of the social justice and woke left accusing gamers of being perverts who just want to see more skin on fake women.

This is a distraction from the actual point gamers are making, not that people wanting to see beautiful women with sex appeal on screen is somehow wrong or a social sin in the first place.
What this is ultimately about is two-fold.

For starters, it's wrong to promise not to censor a game and then censor it on the first day of its release. The reason people were so happy with Shift Up is because they weren't bowing to the censorship efforts of the Western left, and watching them cave on the first day isn't a good business practice and will lose the trust of their customers. Moreover, you teach these woke scolds that if they apply enough pressure, you'll cave and give in to them in the future. This is a road that leads to bad products, as we've seen time and again.
But what this is ultimately about is the fact that gamers, and indeed anyone who enjoys any form of entertainment, aren't okay with radically ideological psychopaths dictating what they can and can't see. What they say is just a piece of lace over some cleavage is a sign that they have an industry in its grip enough that they'll change parts of their game to something they feel is okay for everyone.
This small group of psychopaths is making decisions on behalf of everyone else. They are deciding what's appropriate for us to view. They are deciding what we get to consume and how. They have appointed themselves the arbiters of morality and they love nothing more than shoving it in people's faces.
That's bad enough, but these people are absolute hypocrites. If the media in question checks enough boxes and has the "representation" they believe is necessary, they'll applaud things with gratuitous sex and nudity. Suddenly, the idea that there's too much skin showing isn't a big deal.

But if it doesn't check enough boxes, it's suddenly guilty of social sins, and action must be taken...or else.

These people have proven they have no business deciding anything. They are, themselves, guilty of some of the worst hatemongering and bigotry in the modern era; they just mask it with talk of social justice and claims about being fair that have no basis in reality.
This is why gamers are mobilizing over "Stellar Blade." This isn't about a hot girl showing a little more skin; this is about pushing back against people who think they know better and are better than you. This is about prying their grasp off our culture and proving they're not as powerful as they think, not just to them or ourselves, but to every corporation and creator watching.
It was never about the outfits.

the censorship only exist thanks to the woke people so good try chap. its to the point if the rest of us had our way she would have a birthday suit skin just to piss the woke off. its clearly not the rest of us who censor stellar blade or anything else.

Yeah, using "woke" is completely irrelevant here. Sony has been acting insane with their unethical censorship policies for a while now.

I think you tend to forget that games have to go through the ESRB and politicians. A lot of the censorship comes from those groups ... not actually who you think it does.

I wouldn't surprise me in the least that those *groups* are making Sony out to be the bad guy here. Take it from someone who has dealt with censorship for a very long time ... when it comes to politics someone else always is to blame.

Note: I just did a websearch on this and it seems (not surprisingly) that any game coming out of the East has to be OKed by an individual at Sony of America. That means that it has to be OKed for use in America by an American. The real question is who this specific person is and what ties to the U.S. government or the ESRB board they have.

At some point in time you have to realize that the U.S. has had politicians that have specifically targeted video games so as to get rid of them completely.

Don't be surprised that we eventually find out that it really isn't Sony of America doing this because they want to ... it is because they are being FORCED TO.

Just a bunch of loser chicks jealous on bunch of pixels again? Maybe they shouldn't search flaws on games but on themselves I mean many ladies are awfully ugly yet succesfull both in private and proffesional life. Even ancient Romans displayed ideals and not mediocrity and even if I ammediocre dude with belly I dont need to play ugly s.cker but I am totaly cool with wellkept muscle bound epic dudes in games. bye
...nah lets salt the wounds bit more!
Guess those harpies have so much inner beauty I hope they will be proud when players will prefer even uglified uptight characters instead of them

completely out of touch with reality cause the woke left loves porn and sex and hot women especially. sony is just cowardly placating the right-wing moralists who want to ban anything that contradicts their Strong Christian Values

You would think that but they seem to have gotten really, really upset about how revealing stellar blade was for some reason, it’s a good point that you brought up and several YouTubers have made videos exposing the double standards of the alt-left in regards to specifically stellar blade. I haven’t seen any Christian commentators complaining about it, I think most of those types of calls for censorship died out in the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Literally the only thing I've heard about this game is that some people are apparently angry that the game's characters are wearing too much clothing.

That tends to be the result of fairly conservative ratings agencies like the ESRB, not some group of hippies somewhere having a patent on being topless.

You want a Game that has Topless, I can get you one...

But it won't be from STEAM...


The Point is, Companies associated with STEAM??

Refuse to admit they are in the wrong, ~_~



I don't know what Stellar Blade is, but I also don't own a PlayStation 5, either...

I Game where People don't caused Trouble...
& Companies completely leave us alone...

Which is the way it should be...

But aparently, STEAM ain't get that point, ~_~

Steam has 2,000 games on it with adult only sexual content. The developers of this game did not want to make a porn game. So they didn't.

The problem with the conservative hippy argument is that is in BG3 we can have full frontal nudity and penis jiggle physics, did you hear complaints from conservatives? How about the Abby TLOU2 sex scene? no, people were angry about Joel dying.

With those two games let's be honest one focused on lesbians and the sex scene wasn't appealing to straight guys and that's ok. In BG3 the penis physics and bear sex is catering more towards queer folks. No censorship

But Stellar Blade catches the straight guys eyes "male gaze" and some people don't like the very thought of that hence censorship, but in other games the penis can swing and jiggle. Guaranteed a attractive woman with another woman is fine, but if straight guy also finds it attractive it will be censored.

People were absolutely raging about BG3, calling it pornography and deviant smut.

See, this is the perk of not being a Sony exclusive. No censorship.

Plus there’s plenty of revealing outfits in Stellar Blade if for some reason you feel the need to eye video game women yet are too ashamed to just look at porn.

[lailaamell]

this will never leave ps5 exclusivity idk why ppl find it neccesery to do petitions they never work
