Censorship was worse then than it is now.
And censorship is worse in Japan than it is in the west.
These are hard redpills to swallow if you're a Gankerirgin.
When does censorship because marketing and at what point does it become a question of artistic values and free speech? I remember the comicsgate bullshit of artists drawing hot women for "free speech" in the /co/ world but those people didn't show up when the gay marriage episode of Arthur was censored in Alabama.
Censoring Japanese games is bullshit, though. America has a better understanding that jap cartoon games are for coomers.
>why didn't the people who advocate against X also push back against Y? It’s like the exact same thing!

An episode of a nationally syndicated show being completely removed due to religious beliefs is more of a free speech issue than the marketing and direction leaning woke sjw feminist after Marvel movies made them mainstream. Artists were always taking orders and working within the parameters of execs and editors.
You're making it clear that it was never a free speech issue. Even if you were honest with the "grooming" accusation, if you actually thought seeing a gay guy getting married would make kids want to get gay married, you'd be against violence in video games and for more restrictions. Knowing gay marriages happen isn't as "grooming" as being rewarded for violence. And it isn't violence in media passively observed, it's violence in interactive media. The potential to groom is much greater.

How am I trad? Autism is a requirement for this site.
>retro games didnt have censorship
Nobody believed that. Final Fantasy got censored on the SNES. Anything remotely violent used to get censored in Germany.
I doubt that was censorship, pic related is from the credits of the same game.
Probably just different creative goals for marketing vs a loading screen, despite reusing assets.
hahaha
How quickly people forget nes/snes and ps1/n64 games had plenty of censorship, with even more usually added to western releases.
If you ever see people in them drinking "juice" or "soda" or walk into a nondescript church, you can be sure the original was alcohol and the churches had crosses on them.
I don't even know why removing crosses from the church was a thing when 99% of people in countries those games were released were some form of christian.
>I don't even know why removing crosses from the church was a thing when 99% of people in countries those games were released were some form of christian.
Because in the 80s and 90s there were no whinier pussies on the entire planet than western Protestants. Currentyear twitter morons are unironically less fragile.
That wasn't censorship, it was literally the other way around. Around TR3 release her designer (or was it director?) was famously quoted saying "this isn't my lara anymore" when confronted about her sexy marketing all around the world.
What actually happened was that they sexed up the marketing, and not tune down the game.
It's still for the toy factor. You get accused of grooming just for telling kids some people are gay, imagine if they see boob physics. International marketing wants their coomer bait game to be on a shelf at an American Walmart next to Mario.
>but Walmart sells sex toys
Far from the kids toy section and away from the Marios.
>You get accused of grooming just for telling kids some people are gay
No, you get accused of grooming when you encourage them to suck a refugee's cock
What do you mean? Bill 1557 is called the anti-grooming bill and it makes it so schools get investigated on their own dime if a parent thinks there was any discussion gays and frames it as a parent's right to control that information to their kids. That means that you're a groomer for telling a kid some kids have parents that are gay married or show something that happens to have a gay character. It makes everyone who happens to be gay at a school a financial risk to that school.
It wasn't censorship. The image on the right was created for the game first. The sexier image on the left was created when some marketing pencil pusher thought "show her tits to sell a gorillion copies" so they edited it. Lara was always heavily sexualised in promotional material and barely, if at all, in-game
They don't really care because it's all aesthetics and vibes. Anita was anti-censorship while Trump was saying video games create monsters. Even before GG started, Anita said gamers aren't monkey see monkey do with the "misogyny" in games. The idea that kids can be groomed by the presence of a gay couple should fall in line with the idea that people get violent by consuming violent media.
This board is so gay now a days. Literally and figuratively. Left side sucks, right side sucks etc. The fags on the left censor anything that is "Harmful" to what ever whale or minority is important this week. While the conservatives censor anything risque or what over protective parents deem offensive. There is no winning. Both sides are ultimately run by fags.
Blame twitter and fags taking over hobbies. Many people in these fields actually believe or pretend twitter is the end all only metric. I've worked at a college and a university and I've only seen like 2 people use that website.
The left one looks unnatural as fuck. I think it was actually the other way around, they first made the right one, then actually made it "more suggestive" for promotional purposes in the left one.
Yes, sounds absolutely unthinkable these days, doesn't it?
Censorship was worse then than it is now.

This. Can't even walk around Tokyo with your shirt off or be stopped by police
Good, we live in a society.
we get it you go to the gym
I'm not sure it should be illegal to walk shirtless or naked in public but i also wish no one would do it, no matter how attractive. It's obscene.
I am so used to tits that I hardly notice when girls have their shirts off anymore
no one wants to see your hairy moobs
>Can't even walk around Tokyo with your shirt off or be stopped by police
Nice grammar ESL moron
>Censorship was worse then than it is now
Being a YGOfag was suffering
It still is
>Censorship was worse then than it is now.
Only because devs are precensoring their games now.

Not with the fugly ass designs that the west comes up with
he means the blurred out vulvas/penises with the bar on the tip
>Japan where you can see a nipple and pixelate vagina in a public view kiosk
Censorship was pretty bad back then but it's even worse now
the first part is simply untrue
Meds.
It is though. You can't just say meds and pretend the issue or criticism will go away. Either that or just malice on your part.
nuLara proves your entire point wrong there's a difference active censorship isn't needed anymore because censorship is engrained everywhere
>low iq white trash makes a low iq post
Many such cases

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! DELETE THIS POST OR I'LL DOWNVOTE AND REPORT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not buying your censored slop cope and seethe.
Who are you quoting?

I can believe I literally masturbated to that back when I was 12
hahaha

The original render was the covered one. The cleavage render was made later for the magazine ads IIRC.
if laura dressed like that hot brass would fall in her cleavage

You get the lewds in the credits when you finish the game
But that requires you to beat TR3 of course, which you didn't
no one did. everyone used level skip cheat for this game
I don't care about a boob window as long as the pubes remain intact
Censorship back then was because the industry was still seen as toy adjacent, for children.
Censorship now is ideological and completely different.

how embarrassing, her nibbles are showing
> those feet
kek, they didn't even try.
Well at least she kept her big titties. I hated how the recent Tomb Raider games made Lara almost flat chested by comparison.
/v/chuds go into meltdown mode when you tell them conservatives want to ban video games.

She looks like she's stuck in resin, I love it.

Why do americans bring politics to everything?
Today I learned Nu-Lara was designed entirely by a team of conservatives, thanks reddit!

games didnt have censorship
...said no one
why are you always making up shit to be mad about
Feels good to be a Larachad.
why, new game?
her boobs are still big also they added sexy creases. also i always looked at the cool deagle as a kid.
Some renders look weird.
All that tanning means that Lara is probably very ugly by now.
The left one looks unnatural as fuck. I think it was actually the other way around, they first made the right one, then actually made it "more suggestive" for promotional purposes in the left one.
Yes, sounds absolutely unthinkable these days, doesn't it?
I was fucking around with Soul Calibur 1 today and found out they replaced a dude's weapon with a staff cuz the UK banned all apperances of nunchucks
Sorry about the boobs or whatever.
