Spoken like someone who knows nothing about the DoA situation and is not even a fan.

Then you didn’t get a chance to see the feedback from Japanese players about Cammy. The change was a direct result of those players telling Ono and Capcom Japan that Cammy wasn’t sexy enough, not just cute.

Alright, still didn’t happen that way. I didn’t once complain about the butt pose so take your bullshit defense of nothing elsewhere.

How is this not editting when the game director himself decides it’s the right move? They’re not removing the entire character from the game or even the pose from other characters. This isn’t an effort to scrub all sexiness from the game. It’s not even necessarily a matter of it being offensive. This is a creative…

That’s not what happened but alright.

The key words being “self censorship”. Nobody is forcing Blizzard to change anything. They are shaping their game into a form they ultimately want it to take. This is how things are created, trying something and then evaluating whether it’s working for their vision or not. This obviously didn’t fit Blizzard’s vision…

To me, it’s the opposite of censorship. Yes, I understand that a big part of the original post was about the daughter in question, but larger issue, and I think the one that Nathan did a great job explaining, is that this is about providing variety even among female characters. Not every female character has to be a…

The Hawkeye initiative would disagree because if you put him in the same pose with the up the crack tight ass and facial expression it wouldn’t be cocky it would be sexual. The fact the widowmaker in the game also uses the exact same pose begs to differ as well.

“it not a sexual pose”

i’m not taking a side, if anything, i think the ass looks very poorly drawn and more weird/picasso-ish than sexual. but i am familiar with and understand why some groups may be opposed to it - and these groups are not religious/MPAA standards freaks, but rather people who oppose the objectification of women. i’m just…

Different people see different things in entertainment/art. Your way is not the right way. People who disagree with you are not fools. I think you’re being 100% internet cliche because you are unable to accept another person’s very normal viewpoint, albeit not universal, without being impolite.

It wasn’t even remotely sexual? Are you nuts? That’s a stance that has been used to show off women’s asses in advertising for years. There’s no other way to stand like that. It’s super awkward. Seriously, try it. Her whole lower body is planted directly away from the theoretical camera position, yet she’s looking over…

Was it the whims of a single person if a whole debate happened before the change was made? Unless it was that single person versus the entire forums, which I doubt, it seems a bit less random.

“For an entire company to change a very expensive project”

But why should they have to do that if they agree with it? If the point was “this character shouldn’t be sexy because it doesn’t fit the character” why should they concede on it? I understand from the point of not upsetting the masses, but from a creation aspect, if they believe that is a valid point, why “half ass it”

*sigh*

I don’t necessarily disagree with your argument, but your examples are terrible.

“But it not a sexual pose, it being censor because so fool woman sees a butt as horribly ruining her daughter.”

If I considered every single creative direction I ever altered on a project prior to release “self censorship,” I’d go batty.

“wrong, it’s already the second case of self censorship within a short amount of time.”
