First they came for the anime tiddies now they came for the alcohol.

What's next!? Sony deserves to lose against Microsoft
MS doesn't seem any better on the censorship front, unfortunately.
All we have left is Nintendo and PC. And Nintendo is an actual family-friendly console, so it's inevitable they'll eventually crack down on stuff again.

Literally "Rules for thee but not for me".

Fucking told you that the holy rays of light Sony employed in anime games would trickle to different forms of censorship, I was laughed at for muh slippery slope, but now we got games where they're censoring violence and drug/alcohol use in M rated games.

So basically Sony is only okay with it if Sony does it and no one else?

Their "policy" is that the Japanese and indie games need to be kid-friendly, even when M-rated. Even as western AAA games and their own games have outright sex, drugs, straight up murder, and more. And they'll allow FIFA games rated E for everyone to have gambling (loot boxes).
I say "policy" in quotes because they've never released an actual official policy on censorship, they're too fucking cowardly and snakes to ever actually put out something in writing that could be examined and critiqued.

Its funny how Sony allows a full on fucking sex scene from the Last of Us 2, but everything else that isn't a heavy hitter gets censored.

Actual hypocrites.

I remember when they started turning it into the Censorstation. There is no way to contact Sony to complain, so when they put out a video on parental controls for PS4, people took to the youtube comment section to let them have it and ask why the censorship was necessary if this exists. They kept taking the video down and re-uploading it to purge the negative comments and down votes, over and over.
That's also the first time I encountered youtube censorship, I had to say stuff like "sense of ship" to get my comment to actually post and not be shadow banned (it'd look like it would, but I'd go in private on another browser and it would not be there).
Ever since then, my youtube account seems to be perma-flagged as a spammer or something and I have to self-censor a shit load of words, including innocuous stuff like "video", "link", etc... or else it'll fake-post but not actually post.

In conclusion: fuck Sony
