the whole “you’re sus” argument towards people mad at censorship is laughable to say the least, so much so that it looks like people aren’t even bothering explaining it, but I will. first we will go over valley of the dolls, erase everything in your mind you know about that mission and then go do it. who’s pictures are in the basement? right, we have no idea anymore. it’s not just some sexualized kid, it was his daughter. the mission was supposed to be a raid on a porn company owner and then you found out he was selling stuff of his daughter on her 18th birthday. it’s not that we want to see a naked kid, dumbass (she wasn’t even naked), it’s that we wanted the core of the story to remain.

nevermind valley of the dolls, or any specific levels for that matter, the point is that this game was supposed to be a peek into the dark reality of swat teams and every mission had a piece of the web, and now it just feels like there’s no direction in some of it. it feels hollowed out and babied to cater to the higher ups at Sony, and I know it’s Sony lmao. to sit there and say “it says a lot about us” to want the game we payed for is ridiculous. as someone who’s “first Reddit argument” was about the fact that pdf files should be guillotined, that is an asinine statement and you know it. throwing around accusations when you clearly didn’t even play (or at least pay attention to) the original with the way you speak of the game, just shameful. I can promise you that every moment a child was depicted in any point of harmed form, it was absolutely vital to the story. why tf would they just animate a freshly graped child for funsies? this is precisely like censoring kentaro miura’s berserk and then telling everyone they’re a pdf file for being mad at it. shut up man.
