@MasterDarkwingz said in One of the Comics has been cut.:

@IAMCRAIG Problem with the thread is that it was actually several threads which got off topic and had to be locked.

They didn't go off-topic, they got locked because one poster made multiple accounts to spam reports on people disagreeing with them, which ended up being counterintuitive for them, since it lead to the lone moderator of the forums to lock the threads the reported posts were in.

For anyone that knows which comic they cut, they should post the original version with a translation of what's said in it on here. Something tells me there's more to it than just censoring a panty joke, especially since the only sexual content that has been censored thus far was for underaged characters and it doesn't really make sense for them to do otherwise outside of that.

Don't you guys have a thread in suggestions about censorship that you've been posting in for the past 4-5 months?

@IAMCRAIG

I read the thread, I’m anti-censorship. I find your reasoning problematic. This is a common trope in Japanese media, especially anime. Your strong aversions to it comes off as cultural intolerance at best. If humor isn’t done exactly the way it’s done in your country then it’s bad, you even bring up pedophilia and you threatened a GM over this?

Yes because sexualizing teenagers and posing said scenes as humorous is a cornerstone of japanese culture.

edit: It's odd how you came out with fist swinging in response to my post too, especially with how quick you were to try to gaslight me by trying to say I was being bigoted about pointing out the problematic nature of the removed scenes.

@Milk (though this is for anyone in general that is new to this thread) The 'warning' is presented as a choice to look in to see what Hitsugi, Kohri and Al are doing that seems innocuous without context of the cutscenes (it's the one where one of the choices is you asking if this is any better than peeping). It still is in the game currently but does not lead to said removed cutscenes.

The reason why they were problematic is that one of them has underaged teenagers (Hitsugi and Kohri, with Al's exact age being unknown but is either prepubescent or in their early teens) that are bathing with a sexual undertones that the game tries to play off as humour. The one before it has Kohri all but lusting after Al and talking about wanting to mix her sweat with his and Hitsugi's. Yes, I sat through the first removed cutscene and enough of the second one to feel uncomfortable by it.

Regardless of what people try to say in this thread, they're upset about scenes being removed with girls that are aged 16 at best, with strong sexual undertones and innuendo. This was what this thread was started about initially and lead to me being mass reported and banned for a couple of months because I aggressively spoke out about it and how it bordered on pedophilia (another time I was banned for threatening a GM with the ultimatum that I would attempt to make it as widely known as possible that they would not take action against someone that made incredibly transphobic remarks in a thread, but would delete posts by someone rightfully cursing them out).

Anyways, the scenes ultimately added nothing plotwise. If you're willing to read the thread from the beginning to page...34? 40? you can see the mental gymnastics done by the more vocal people in this thread that have kept it alive since ep4 launched. Though I can't really blame anyone for not wanting to wade through all of that, content aside it'd be like reading a novel.

Y'know, instead of continuing to complain another 3 months about the censor/removal of scenes with underaged characters in a state of undress, you could devote your energy to something more constructive like focusing on your mental wellness, I know it helped me

Also they aren't censoring/removing outfits that aren't ones that make you child-sized, Sega has been all over the place with what they put in scratches so far mixing more recent things with older stuff. For example, cast sets like Titangum, Havoc, etc. were released on NA before we even got to Ep4, when I recently noticed they were originally released in Ep5 in JP. I mean we got the Outlandish Bikini and Sudsy base/outerwear and outfits in general that flash your underwear if you so much as twitch.

What they're trying to say is: "I want to support this game, but the gacha system is awful and designed to wring you dry if you want anything specific, especially in SG scratches where you can't even trade for the items you'd like"

But yeah, this is just an incredibly predatory system that needs to disappear from games altogether. Everyone in this thread should look up how gambling in general is designed to prey upon how the human mind reacts to games like these, it'll leave a bad taste in your mouth when you see how much research is put into making them as addictive as possible (not necessarily PSO2, but at the same time it'll give insight into how and why they do things this way).

It really is something that shouldn't be defended on any level.

@DDDDLife said in People are running Normal Falz Mother...:

Yah, well- SEGA seems to be nerfing everything. :

| PSO2NERFED ONLINE|

At some point in time , I may need to update this list with OTHER things that were Nerfed, Just because someone say's so.

(Clipped the quote down so half the page isn't just the same quoted table)

Going to need sources on those (except Elder).

Going to necro this (especially since this section is dead as hell) and say that it's likely they really only respond when they get a certain amount of reports. Beyond that we can really only speculate.

Also hi, I guess that IP ban mentioned by DM Geynger wasn't one? I actually tried reaching out to them by DM and didn't get a response about it. Honestly I actually DM'd them to ask if they could perma ban my forums account, since lord knows how bad these forums are for your mental health, but its been a few weeks now I think? Pretty sure at this point it's an intern they have moderating this place in addition to multiple other duties + poor tools for actually doing their job (this is especially evident for ingame GM's/support ticket GM's which apparently can't take action on someone spamming hentai SA's without a screenshot of them doing it and chatlogs?).

Anywho, if a couple of certain posters are still active, I'm willing to bet I get rebanned with my last couple of posts deleted and a comment in said threads due to 'multiple reports'

Huh, this thread is still going I see.

Lol.
