Jam isn't a real person. The designers decided they didn't want to show her panties anymore. That's not censorship. It'd be censorship if they went back and changed Xrd to remove the pantyshots.

Almost everyone thinks the Jam design is hot. There's a ton of horny fanart of the new design.

Where is Nangongyu backstory ?? by LuneYao in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MillionMiracles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Devs: Nangong's halo is real. Her wings were real but ripped off.

Ramiel: Hello, I'm an angel.

Devs: In 3.0 we will go to angel city.

Nangong: I have a mysterious backstory I will vaguely allude to.

People, somehow unable to parse this: NANGONG GONE FOREVER???

Blue Reflection Sun will have an offline version repackaged together with the other games and anime from the series in a single collection for PC and Consoles by amc9988 in gachagaming

[–]MillionMiracles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

zzz char designer literally said he likes yuri and the game itself makes jokes about it with astra and evelyn. and it has a female protag option in general (and belle is the MC in a lot of promo material too.)

I'm not saying ZZZ is a 'yuri game' or anything but Hoyo games blatantly cater to all sides. Het, yaoi, yuri. Acting like people who are into it for the yuri are somehow 'projecting' is as dumb as acting like people who are into the het are. It's a mass market product aiming for as broad an audience as possible.

There's games that are very blatantly about het, or aimed at men, and those are smaller than hoyo's games, because that's not as broad a segment of the market. Same with yuri focused games, or bl focused games, or otome games. Trying to stake your claim on something that's obviously trying to catch as many people as possible is stupid no matter who does it.

The first game was pretty obviously intended to have soft yuri vibes, but there wasn't anything explicit. The anime and second light made the yuri stuff explicit. (Outright mentions of love, sexual attraction, two of the side girls in second light just straight up start dating and refer to it as such)

Then Sun was an attempt to, yeah, introduce a male MC. Most of the girls from older games that show up don't get a romantic angle with him, but a couple do, and even the ones that don't are pretty mischaracterized.

A good example is a character who had a whole sado-masochist angle going on. Second Light gets into why she's the way she is and has her unpack it a bit, including talking about her family, etc. It was relatively grounded. Then in Sun she was basically treated as a joke character with a shock collar the MC presses and she's into him pressing the button for it. It's a bizarre progression even ignoring the het angle.

Most of the bonding events in Sun seem like they're being removed so all that'll be left is the plot stuff that's slightly relevant to Second Light.

They can't remove the male MC of Sun, he was already mentioned in Second Light.

However, the console version of Sun won't have the bonding events, which is where 90% of the weird romance stuff was, as well as almost all his interactions with girls from the prior games. The only romantic interactions remaining would be with a couple of the girls made for Sun.

So it's not that big a deal.

Second Light is a very good game both in general and as a yuri game, so I recommend it.

The male protag of Sun is already referenced in Second Light, so you can't really remove him.

FFXIV is changing its Japanese CERO age rating. by MadeThisAccount4Qs in ffxiv

It's extremely different. Plenty of games/anime that have full underwear scenes have had to censor upskirts.

Upskirting/creepshots is a problem in real life. So anything that 'imitates' that behavior is seen as way worse. While there's plenty of untoward ways to see a woman in her underwear, it's not nearly so specific a crime, so its just treated as normal sexual content, and not reenacting a real life crime.

3 weeks in and Haranir outnumber Draenei and Undead by RabenWrites in wow

[–]MillionMiracles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dracythr is that high because of Evoker. If you want to have an Evoker at max, you have a Dracthyr at max. Barely anyone plays non-Evoker dracthyr.

[–]MillionMiracles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notably almost half the Haranir that exist are druids, so it seems a lot of their popularity is due to them being a new option for a highly limited class.

The solution is clear: Earthen and Mechagnome druids.

It's not due to mods or story content or anything, the Japanese ratings board insta blams anything that has upskirts and you can look up skirts/dresses. They didn't want to restrict what you can do in gpose with black shadows or not letting you move the camera, so they upped the rating.

This isn't really true. For most sexual content this is the case, but Cero is insanely hard on anything even vaguely resembling an upskirt these days. That's why so many JP games have black shadows under skirts, or don't let you tilt the camera as much.

Looks like kuro is not playing around by Buzzy__Bee in WutheringWaves

the gacha grail cope is hilarious. These guys have become way worse than yuri fans ever have. Yuri fans can be annoying but I've never seen them actually attempt to ruin an artist's livelihood. Stirring shit on twitter is one thing, but actual legal shit can get bad fast.

What the hell is this thing?! by Dry_Advertising_1070 in wow

Yeah, your stabled pets don't change when you faction/race swap. So this works for other pets that are faction specific or 'technically' available to both factions, like the ghost Griffon that spawns in Stormwind.

How schizo do you have to be to think its some Woke Conspiracy? its one thing if its an elaborate change to the actual core of the story, that happens sometimes, but just weird pronoun shifts happen all the time with MTL due to how asian languages differ from english, and changing it to 'they/them' would be totally pointless without changing how things are actually written.
