Behold beauty
2009 sorry
:D
Don't ever forget they key players that started this shit. She is still working behind the shadows. In fact, she was invited to the GDC 2022 (Yes the game developer conference) and she still works with inside companies.
When someone tells you she isn't shaping the industry, always use data.
Big brudder Katrina, the famous localizer who inserted a nonbinary character in 13 Sentinels from Vanillaware, is now the director of localization for a major Japanese video game company.
Some advanced Japanese learners here already know what Katrina did, but for newcomers: the character is just a cross-dresser
Some think Sega could be the next company. Remember, Japanese companies now make games for global audiences, so they self-censor Japanese Script/text too
They align with the localization/ethics dept and ask: Is this good for the West? The process follows with mods & censorship. If you question it, they’ll say: This was the original story from the start. All AAA companies do this now. True AAA Japanese games don’t exist anymore
It’s official: Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 3 remake removes the EVA X-ray scene, tones down the jiggle physics, and adds more censorship overall.
I saw a redditor claiming that censoring EVA’s nipple fits better with the ‘seriousness’ of the franchise lmaoo
The game opens with a trigger warning where Konami cries about stereotypes and swears they’ll never include content like this again but leaves it in ‘to respect history.’ Censors the game anyway, lol
Apparently, in Ghost of Yotei, a progressive activist known for hating the police and telling straight women who disagree with LGBT to log off is not just the VA for the game; she is also the face and mocap of the new Sucker Punch title. It's an asset
Ready to save money
Since no one is showing the facts, here’s more. Mainstream journalists are already attacking the original game to praise the new female lead.
It has begun
There are also some details being discussed that the VA pushed to be part of the role, and the developers want to expand on the LGBT/ Non binary themes from the first game but take it even further. It's possible the main character will have a romance with other women.
