One of Capcoms employees was dressed as Chun-li
Yeah, I suppose that's fairIt just feels like hes trying to hard to be funny. Like he said a bunch of stuff in the thread, but the one post he linked to was a Chris Hansen joke.
Like " HEY GUYS ISN'T THIS FUNNY!?"
It has some cognitive dissonance going, what with the sparkles and girly themes.That game fell off the waifu tree and hit every branch on the way down. Holly shit!
SNK trying hard to make DOA
IIRC the DOAX OT on Gaf got closed because people had absolutely 0 chill and was about posting the most risky pics possible instead of, you know, talking about the game. So at the end there wasn't really any community to move on lol
It's like, that threas that was made here about "what character do you like" or something, that got flooded with lewd pics. Some people have no chill at all!

Just to clarify, this wasn't the reason why. Those type of pictures you describe were posted in that thread since page 1, showing off the game's photo mode. It was allowed in that thread. The real reason why is because there were too many instances of people coming in the thread to complain or troll about the existence of the game during a climate where people were looking at character designs and fan service games to such a critical degree that dogpilings were happening. The DOAX community didn't want to get involved into those types of politics but were dragged into it by outside influences, forcing the mods to take action.
And then you got banned.Sorry, I couldn't help myself. The dude complaining about people "disrespecting" the "DOAX community" was far too much for me.
Fair enough, I remember reading that somewhere in GAF but I couldn't know for sure so maybe I was wrong.
Speaking of things to complain about, EVO Japan just release another trailer for SNK Gals Fighting Championship and...Sigh
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhh
Sorry, I got nothing really to add. What can I add? The clear sexualized bikini outfits, the creepy camera viewer mode, the...everything about the game's aesthetic is just.ugggghhhhhh..
EDIT: Also Mai is in a cow bikini because of couse she fricking is.
Unless you count ARMS™ or USF2 then ya
Are you fucking kidding me
I was actually considering checking this out too
I mean you can be upset but did you really not catch from the first trailer that this was a fan service fighter?
Even Mai in the bikini was in the first batch of promotional materials.

YupThere were different trailers in the international and Japan Directs. I take it he watched the international Direct.

Ah I forgot about that sorry.The nintendo direct trailer had very small focus on that ... the japanese one and the press release stuff where the ones that blowed it up to beyond levels.
Or maybe I still had hopes that it would be a worthy sequel to gall fighters when I saw the direct trailer =/
will we ever be able to discuss and criticize the blatant pedophilic fanservice present in anime and video games without getting banned for hurting the feelings of anime fans *thinking emoji*
no because blanket statements accusing people of being pedos really doesnt do anyone any favors when its over cartoons that have numbers arbitrarily added to themwill we ever be able to discuss and criticize the blatant pedophilic fanservice present in anime and video games without getting banned for hurting the feelings of anime fans *thinking emoji*
Depends on how creative we are. Seems today we have to present our case without even a hint of inclination that those defending it are bad people for doing so.will we ever be able to discuss and criticize the blatant pedophilic fanservice present in anime and video games without getting banned for hurting the feelings of anime fans *thinking emoji*

I miss the days when pedophilia was a universally accepted evil. Now people want you to "see both sides" of everything and it's frightening.
I remember years back when we could make fun of creeps who jerk off to prepubescent anime girls and now it's all "but it doesn't hurt anyoneeee", "don't kink shameeeeeee", "don't say mean things about the anime community even though most people in it are complicit by tolerating and defending the sexualization of minooooors", "but she's a 47598789375869 year old dragoooooonnnnn"Depends on how creative we are.

I wasnt talking about snk, I really dont know whats going on there. I dont play the snk fighters and I dont know what the problem case is here. Using force as a plot point is weird to me, I wont argue thatOk, fine, let's pretend there are no underaged characters are wearing skimpy outfits against their will. The entire plot of the game is that women are kidnapped and are forced to wear skimpy outfits against their will. This doesn't immediately strike you as somewhat out there?
I'm not looking to ruin anyone. I don't delight in pointing harshness out. Those are sad moments.I remember years back when we could make fun of creeps who jerk off to prepubescent anime girls and now it's all "but it doesn't hurt anyoneeee", "don't kink shameeeeeee", "don't say mean things about the anime community even though most people in it are complicit by tolerating and defending the sexualization of minooooors", "but she's a 47598789375869 year old dragoooooonnnnn"
I am a member of the anime and manga community since about 20 years and I dont like to be called a pedophile just because "most people in it must defend pedophilia", because they like a certain medium.
I mean, if I didn't know it was a plot for the new SNK game, I would have thought you were talking about pornography. Because this definitely sounds like someone's sexual fetish.Ok, fine, let's pretend there are no underaged characters are wearing skimpy outfits against their will.

But pedophilia is a horrible evil, that ruins lives. Seeing it normalized, disguised, excused, dismissed... that provokes a strong reaction from me.
And I can't help but feel upset when I see it provoking lukewarm reactions in others.
I mean, if that's all you got out of that, then maybe she wasn't talking about you?

What about borderline cases though? Im not talking about explicit loli-content, but "fictional ages". Especially in a medium that you can define as art, they could draw a girl that is 16 years old, but then in another show a similar drawn girl might be a 25 year old Office Lady.
So you could take Nodame Cantabile as an example. A manga about a music college student, who is 20 years old at the beginning of the series.
Now, you can draw the main female character the same, put her in a high school uniform and put her in another show and say she is 15 or 16 and no one would bat an eye. In one case the character is drawn the same but is 20 (and later in the manga older, but still drawn the same), in the other case she would be underage.
Im not talking about the sexualization now, but just saying its hard to judge it when it comes to fictional charactes.
Even with real people my wife is usually seen as underage, just because westerners cant judge a lot of age of asians (she is 26).
I mean, with a lot of these problems it's jsut something Japan needs to sort it self out on.
It's not a situation where artistic aesthetic alone determines the end result opinion. I agree.
But aesthetic, combines with context, combines with history... and what SNK Heroines is showing us in this trailer feels very questionable and provokes apprehension from me.
I'm not even for a second casting stones at the whole of anime or manga here. Just speaking in regard to the strong reaction I'm having to the trailer of one specific game.
Ok, fine, let's pretend there are no underaged characters are wearing skimpy outfits against their will. The entire plot of the game is that women are kidnapped and are forced to wear skimpy outfits against their will. This doesn't immediately strike you as somewhat out there?
I was replying to the "isn't that somewhat out there comment"
Sorry I added more to post to clarify
There's a short trailer in this thread, if you're inclined.I wasnt talking about snk, I really dont know whats going on there. I dont play the snk fighters and I dont know what the problem case is here. Using force as a plot point is weird to me, I wont argue that
Why do they enjoy it?No?
I could see people being put off by it but it's not so outlandish that I don't understand why some enjoy it?
I like the sexualization and fan service, I could do without the kidnap plot though
Sure. SNK looks pretty.... bad.
I was more talking in general though. Sorry if that wasnt clear.
I think it's just a empty hollow excuse for why everyone is in swimwear fighting each other more than anything else
