I dont know why some of you are acting brand new when about that belly button because it is framed in a very suspicious way.

Also the 2nd pic looks like a druged underage girl that is being photographed without her consent.

Seriously, some of you always act in a way that makes me think that amir0x need some company in his cell.

lmao gg Sony

personally I can admit that gratuitous T&A can get pretty obnoxious in games but hey if people want some provocative wallpapers for their computers/consoles/what-have-you who am I to judge, it's their machines - more power to 'em

Well Senran Kagura's whole purpose is to provide T&A which is different than say Xenoblade 2 which is trying to tell a serious storyline but still has fan service designs.

Well, the Vita was the "pervy otaku" platform years back so I'm guessing they want to fight that image?

Also I thought people disliked the kind of content that would end up on the Vita precisely because it was too pervy? Not saying this is or isn't the right approach, but still.

So is this new policy strictly for Japanese developers and content? Like, Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age: Inquisition had some pretty explicit sex scenes in them. Can we expect those to be cut or censored in the next Dragon Age? Or are these characters from Senran Kagura underage? Is that the common factor with all of the censoring that's been going on? Cause I definitely understand if that's the case. Otherwise, I'm completely against random censorship. If Sony wants to keep nudity off of their platform, fair enough. But they haven't been enforcing this policy with developers like Rockstar and Ubisoft.

It seems to me the consistency is anything depicting characters that either are underage or appear underage.

For example SCVI had no censoring and it has a ton of T&A. There though the characters that are portrayed sexually are clearly adults

In that case I'm totally fine with it. I will take issue with it though if you start seeing something along the lines of Souo Calibur being forced censored

It's such a weird decision to be honest.
People who would upset over cleavage aren't going to buy this theme anyway. Are themes aged rated? As long as someone below the age rating of the game can't see it, it should rightfully be available for those who want it.
You can come into this thread and tell us how disgusted you are that it even exists but it's not for you.

Oof. Harsh but no lies detected. Some people have a hard time keeping their pedophilic tendencies in check.

Ah, so that's why there are no belly buttons in Dead or Alive 6 to begin with, lol.

The one with the water makes it look like she's isn't wearing any undies after the edit lol.

It's quite amusing how the policies somehow made it worse haha

It looks like most of the censorship hits any game that has young looking characters. Even if they are "18" or more, as long as they look young then there is a huge chance they are getting censored.

Truth.

The real reason that these are getting targeted and Soul Calbur isn't is because Soul Calibur is a well known and respected(?) series from a major Japanese publisher. It's a lot harder to bully them around than it is with a series like Senran Kagura.

Not that I don't think Senran Kagura's problematic stuff should be dealt with. The game is basically soft-core porn with a bunch of anime girls that are "technically" 18, but it doesn't seem fair that Sony gets to pick and choose.

I support cleaning up shit that is underage or cleary looks/is implied are underage (and by cleaning up I imply banning/refusing certification). If those are school uniforms then that is where there can be issues.

Once genuine adult content is censored, then yes, that's the Christian Values kicking in. Or Conservative Values.

Blonde girl is 15.
The other one is 18.

The girl with the "wave" edit is 17.

Anything under 18 being highly sexualized should be a no-go. Irrespective of the age of consent being 16 in many countries.

There's a gulf between something like Life is Strange depicting teenage relationships, and some of the stuff put out in visual novels and the likes.
