You should watch that "Day in a life of an English teacher in Japan, " YouTube channel and compare notes

I think I remember seeing that, but I need to refresh my memory.

I mean if theyre a teacher its perfectly normal

Schools in London are totally different lol.

Humble_Novice posted...

You're a teacher, right? Maybe they're just being polite? After all, students in Asian countries are usually taught to show respect to authority figures.

Yup. Its just being on the receiving end, you get to see how they are taught the respect, how they go about their day ect.

They don't even have cleaners, all the students need to clean up every hall and room in the school. Its a period of cleaning.

Like I'm sometimes pretty surprised how happy they are welcoming me. Compared to the little shits in London, ugh.

Again, I'm fine being proven wrong. But just shifting the topic to who I am as a person really is unhinged behavior dude. Just be normal.

How exactly would I prove you wrong? You havent exactly proven yourself right

I said there is censorship directly targeting Asian developers and showed evidence for it. Even outlined the double standards. You said:

"unfairly directed toward the Asian industry" is complete bullshit that I'm shocked you posted it and think you are stating a fact. How many fucking Japanese and Asian games get released on playstation consoles that gives you the right to say that? Then you act shocked when someone calls you out on it. what planet do you live on??

Please show me evidence its complete bullshit. I mean you have to be sure to post something like that right? Or are you just going off a hunch?

CrimsonGear80 posted...

telling you to look inward and see what you are using your time on this planet to do is helping you in this case. You are welcome.

Back to the point, I'm not wrong, and you have yet to prove me wrong. Trying to shift the subject onto who I am as a person really doesn't help your point. Again, its just petty.

CrimsonGear80 posted...

look at your picture collages and tell yourself that.

You've just resorted to petty insults now. Come on, you're better than that right?

CrimsonGear80 posted...

do you think you can just post whatever crud you want and think no one can question it because you are being "nice" about it?

"unfairly directed toward the Asian industry" is complete bullshit that I'm shocked you posted it and think you are stating a fact.

Then again I know you are a FORMER (not by choice) hornyposter around here and I know how guys like you get when all the media on planet earth doesn't pander to you...

You're letting yourself go dude, chill.

Yeah I like women, and yes there is evidence that there is double standards within the industry against Asian developers with Sony. Saying its "complete bullshit" whilst disregarding the fact that I literally posted developers complaining about it, and then you don't even come back with any evidence arguing against it, says a lot.

Also I'm not shocked, I really do expect this kind of behaviour and reaction from someone on CE. But for once lets have a discussion without someone becoming unhinged again.

CrimsonGear80 posted...

you ask people not to be aggressive toward you then you post such drivel...

If you think its drivel then you can ignore it? I'm not posting hate speech, being violent or even insulting anyone. I don't see how you can just come at me like that because you disagree with me.

Watch TV Dramas and Movies please. It helps tons. Also listen to music, Jpop ect.

I can recommend hundreds if you want. Try Doctor X (Drama), Flying colors (Movie) or Konto Ga Hajimaru (Drama).

Even if your Japanese isn't enough to understand the spoken language, you pick up so many freaking nuances and slang that textbooks and apps can't teach you.

OudeGeuze posted...

I'm saying that people whining about pixels being changed need help.

The issue is wider than that, but you have certain outliers who are weird. Just like the gaming journalists popping a vessel whenever they see a sexy asian lady.

OudeGeuze posted...

People that whine about "censorship" in video games are obviously well adjusted people in society.

Its funny since whenever I speak about censorship on the internet, its usually people becoming aggressive towards me.

CrimsonGear80 posted...

so basically you pulled everything from your bum. OK.

you know video games were censored for various reasons LONG before ANY HQ was located in the US, right?

No need to be aggressive. Theres evidence of Developers outright stating these things. Hell even Yoko Taro indirectly called them out recently with an interview with Stellar Blades developer. Just because there were censoring issues beforehand doesn't mean we should ignore the issues coming from Sony California now. It was annoying then, and its annoying now. Just now it seems like its unfairly directed towards the Asian industry.

CrimsonGear80 posted...

Im sorry, i live in California and no one around here censors everything, so I have no clue what SEI HQ being in Cali has to do with some games being censored. You want to fill me in on the reasoning behind that?

I've posted a few posts previously that you can see, with evidence of Japanese Developers complaining with how they're being treated when dealing with Sony California.

The reasoning? I have no idea, you're gonna have to ask them.

So whats the excuse in why a game like tormented souls has uncensored nudity in the first 5 minutes of the game (on a traditionally attractive character)? This game is niche indie title and far from popular.

*Also throwing it out there that when it comes to "well, they are just bullying asian developers" that phantasy star online 2 is like the horniest game we have right now, and that game is left as is. They actually reversed changes they made to some outerwear/basewear clothes when that new genesis version came out, lol.*

Again, just because there are exceptions doesn't mean Sony doesn't have a big problem with unnecessary censorship and strong arming companies (specifically targeted at Asian developers) into adhering to its Californian HQ standards. My guess is that their teams can't target all the games, or that tormented souls isn't your standard anime game, so it didn't catch their eye. These are just guesses of course.

What exactly are all of these games censored by Sony? Is there a list?

Deleted my last post listing even more games since the pictures could have gotten me in trouble. But it affects games not even released outside Japan, pissing even Japanese players off.

I don't have a whole list at hand but DMC5 had a problem with this until people kicked up a storm and they removed it. Even thought the Xbox version was totally fine. Also:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1ccb6267.jpg

There are also tons of other games like Omega Labyrinth Life which was outright denied a release until they adhered to censorship standards of Sonys Californian branch. They were bound by a contract meaning they couldn't even release it on steam.

Sony holds some these companies in a corner until they bend the knee and censor their own stuff.

Edit: if you gave me more time I could find tons of examples like these. But I really don't think it needs to be outlined at this point.

An exception proves the rule. There are so many examples of censorship that this doesn't really say much.

loafy013 posted...

I have a feeling that the outfits that were changed were those worn by the underage characters. Don't know why people get so mad at sony for not wanting sexualized minors on their systems.

The problem is, minors or not, Sony has been so trigger happy with their censorship that anything they do now is seen in bad faith, and for good reason unfortunately.

I just put a name in of some of my favourite idols, and there are tons of sellers selling naked deepfake posters and merchandise of them. Isn't this stuff against the rules?

FaultyCircuitry posted...

Aphrodite is the goddess of sexual love and has always been depicted that way. It's not about appealing to malegaze like Stellar Blade is doing.

The two are not comparable at all

So there has to be a reason for it? How about when Kojima came up with that BS excuse of Quiet being naked because she breathes through her skin, is that okay too? Or does the reasoning have to be realistic.

I say go the Yoko Taro route, make a sexy character if you want, who the fuck cares. And if its appealing to the male gaze, all the more better for us males.

Edit: Having to need a reason for a character to be sexy so gaming jounalists won't pop a vessel whenever they see it on the screen is such bs.

legendarylemur posted...

Ok, literally no fight in DB last even remotely close to some of the fights in Invincible lmao. I've read both and DB rarely ever continuously fight for even more than a day, and you're completely bullshitting me if you want to claim that the Saiyans portrayed in the story never ran out of ki. They run out of ki all the time and senzu beans literally save the day time and time again.

Also Goku himself has to rely on instant transmission, which btw long range ones cannot be used freely. He has to have been there first to visualize, and it takes concentration and isn't ever used combatively. Not being able to perceive their speed is already countered by Omni man able to react to the Flash knock off. Considering that is the only time anybody is ever not perceivable by Omni Man, a slightly above average Viltrumite, in the entire series, it's safe to say that when DB portrays them moving faster than human perception, it doesn't mean shit for Viltrumites.

I already addressed the planet buster shit that keeps getting brought up over and over. You guys are so obsessed with that shit, but again, the idea is that they destable the planet via either hitting the core or else. PUNCHING a planet and one shotting it is like literally several times magnitudes more impressive. Making a planet blow up by punching means they're literally punching so hard that the force disintegrates the planet. A saiyan can't fucking tank that wtf, they can't even tank the ki attack capable of reacting to a planet's core. These supposed planet buster ki attacks hit the planet at an angle all the time and do nothing to the planet.

You guys keep exaggerating the planet shit cuz that's all you got to say Saiyans are even within the same tier list of Viltrumites

You're still just talking about Dragonball right? Not late Z or Super?

deoxxys posted...

True, Don't forget the same game journalists praising Aphrodite in Hades 2 for being buck ass nude but "Stellar Blade sexy bad".

Yeah this was so fucking weird. I'd just like to see into the mind of these people to find out where the double standard comes from.

SAlYAN posted...

It's Raditz. Who, really, was on the HIGHER end of an average saiyan, seeing as he got assigned to Vegeta's elite corps.

It was said he was a lower class Saiyan. I believe even Planet Vegeta has "mid class Saiyans". I mean look at Bardocks unit, they were pretty damn powerful.

ButteryMales posted...

Is Yajirobe's katana and Trunks' sword special? Freiza soldiers and Saiyans wore armor and both swords cut through them.

Yajirobe aimed for the tail and those are weak spots, though you could argue that Vegetas tail should be strong enough to endure, their tales have shown time and again to be easily removed.

Trunks is a super saiyan and has been shown to enhance his own sword through Ki.

Edit: I just remembered Krillin dragging the sword to a near death Vegeta to finish him off, so maybe again it's inconsistency or just the strength of the user. Doesn't explain the metal of the blade though.

In Invincible the old viltrumite fighting against Mark was using a knife in her hair and that stabbed into Mark. Battle Beast used a mace on Mark. War Woman also used a mace on Omniman.

Are they special weapons? I don't know. Maybe Goku got hit with special guns too.

Thing is, they have made it obvious when people use special weaponry, when they were aiming for Goku Black with that super powered gun to take out his earring (I think thats what they were aiming for).

It does seem a bit strange they would change that outfit at the last minute, but its not really that big of an issue

If its not a big issue, why change it in the first place lol

GuerrillaSoldier posted...

this is literally the only place in the entire world that cares about this game

how much do they pay you all to talk about this worthless game

Funny, since Youtube, Twitch, Reddit and Twitter are all talking about this issue.

The bigger issue is Sony's hypocrisy against Asian games. It feels like its blatant racism.

They allow sex scenes in Baldurs Gate 3, nudity in Cyberpunk, A full on sex scene in Last of Us 2. But God forbid an attractive Asian girl!

Sephiroth_C_Ryu posted...

However, we also have Super, where a concealed alien weapon, likely the series' equivalent to magitechnology, can grievously injure Goku after he powers down. And this is, well, in Super, when Base Goku is far beyond "run of the mill Saiyan" even in his base form.

That was shitty writing as in Super Goku got scratched by a normal bullet. Whilst in Dragonball a sniper shot to the head of an unaware kid Goku didn't even hurt him.

Again, inconsistent writing, normal weaponry shouldn't hurt any Z warrior.

PS we have had voice AI forever. And a lot of the modern ones arent even real.

I've used a lot of the modern ones (Voice ones like Elevenlabs) and they were really good. That was a year ago.

They've probably improved a lot now.

Youll feel better to know that most of it is just rebranded search engines to impress boomer CEOs, and premade stuff that is just used to scam people.

This stuff has existed forever.

Then you have AI like Suno, Sora, Voice AI, Music, Photos ect.

Its kinda gone overboard with its capabilities >_>

AI gonna be the forefront to our technology. If used correctly it'll help us tremendously.
