This is why things like "digital artbooks" are fucking stupid. They can take away shit on a whim.

Im guessing the fanbase is totally OK with these changes and are cheering them on for being so progressive?

For those of you who are like "why haven't we actually talked about what has been changed yet" here's the answer:

The Black Egrets, the military organization that serves under Parasoul, have had their red armbands removed.

The ones that make them more clearly an allusion to Nazi Germany.

Their decision was based on the fact that such hate groups are still extant.

Also it's not censorship if you do it to yourself.

Yep. If you want to blame anyone for this, blame neo Nazis.

The art book thing is BS though.

This has always been the issue with digital "ownership." You never truly own it.

Weird nerds on the internet: Developers should be allowed to make games however they want!

*The Skullgirls devs decides to reel back some of the game's unnecessary sexual aspects a bit, including a scene where a 16 y/o is hit on and groped by a much older man*

Weird nerds on the internet: But not like that!

I would argue that backing away even an inch because of neo Nazis is already wrong in itself.

Yeah, that's even lower.

I'm sure that it's all meaningless shit that dweebs are crying about.
Changing the art book is pretty stupid tho, not even gonna try to argue for that one.

Not sure what this game is, but the I was getting an idea as I was reading the article. When I got to this change, I knew that was the one that really got people upset. It's always sex with these incel weeks. Hey, the Resident Evil 4 remake is out! Before I even play it, I'm gonna mod in some big titties and booty on to Ashley? Oh, and you can't look up her skirt? Whaaaaa

It's not backing away from existing Nazis. It's abandoning their aesthetic as representation in your game.

Changing this thing is ok and makes you a whining dweeb if you say anything about it, but changing that thing is unacceptable.

They also removed an entire announcer voiceline (Soviet announcer). Big Band's cutscenes also got censored, including the intro cutscenes showing how he became Big Band.

Welp. Just got back from the library. I moved every copy of 1984 to the non-fiction section.

This is such a hard concept for people to understand and I don't know why.

There's nothing wrong with the maker of something to look at what they made and think "Yeah, I don't think we should depict that anymore." That's what happened here, and that isn't censorship either.

Editing versus censorship.

This is the former.

Skullgirls is such a zombie franchise this point it's hard to get upset at it. Losing a whole character's story mode sucks but also anyone who was truly in a creative position at the point of release has either left the company or been forced out. It sucks that the people who are left are doing this though. Make no mistake this isn't what people want you to think about "Growing and Changing" but more like Disney editing re-releases of classic movies.

I would like to know what they took out before passing judgement. I have it but never really played it so I am not crying. But it seems that took out racism that Bigband faced. I don't like that. That shit happens and we should not shy away from showing how it can have lasting impacts. Far Beyond the Stars is my favorite episode of Star Terk. That is the important take away.

Another take away don't touch my shit. If I got a book could barns and noble just come in cut stuff out .
