Either way, you're probably better off watching someone else play TLOU2 or any given eroge, on a naughty tube site or something.

If we gave anime girl man bods and had guys just slowly thrust in em 4 times would it be ok?

Lol at all the people pretending the sex scene is "cinematic" and "tasteful" when the two shots of it could easily come straight out of the thumbnail stills of a casting couch vidya. Having an automatic positive view of a piece of media you havent played is just as pathetic as automatically shitting on it.

It looks like a scene from a B movie Horror. This is House of the Dead tier.

Just earlier today, another Japanese game is announced to have PS4-exclusive censorship even beyond what was already cut out to bring it down to an M rating. Even when the games already censor themselves down to fit within an M rating (which, again, is still far less explicit than what was allowed in TLOU2) Sony forces them to censor it even more.

The big deal is that Sony is shamelessly allowing an explicit sex scene in TLOU2 while piling extra censorship requirements onto Japanese games and their developers. It's blatant hypocrisy. Either hold TLOU2 to the same standard and have it censored as well or don't ask other games that are already far less explicit from the beginning to censor themselves even more.

But its stunning and brave

How old are these characters? The girl in the pic is clearly wearing a schoolgirl uniform.

They've started doing in recent years. The American side of Sony are trying to force even Japanese developers to meet American "standards" to release their games on PS4 even in Japan. That's why games like Omega Labyrinth and Hyperdimension Neptunia have been getting more Switch releases these days, and why the Senran Kagura franchise is all but dead now after making their home on Playstation consoles for a while. The developers don't want to deal with these unfair standards that Sony specifically puts on them even after the ESRB says the game is fine to release with an M rating.

Aren't all the characters in these games also high school girls?
Do you really not understand the difference between showing explicit sexual scenes of adults vs explicit sexual scenes of children?

Why the fuck do you play so many games about ogling teenagers

explicit sexual scenes of children

It's funny that this point keeps coming up, as if this is what's actually being censored.

It's also funny that there's an entire genre of porn dedicated to high school or younger, and that's completely legal too.

I don't remember this outrage when Red Dead 2 came out uncensored on PS4.

But it is? You guys keep naming examples of underaged girls. Every time you get outraged, it's about not being able to see some underaged girl's panties or cleavage.

What does this have to do with sony?

None on the level of AAA gaming porn.

I didn't know pantyshots and cleavage were "explicit sexual scenes".

Even the Pokemon anime had bath scenes. Are you going to call that explicit too?

What, you're arguing semantics now? The games you love are about sexualizing children, that's the problem. It doesn't matter if it's a full-blown sex scene or just super suggestive, both of those things will repulse any adult with a moral compass.

Welp didn't expect this defense for underaged girls.

And then they wonder why Playstation doesn't want these games on their platform.

Is the game available uncensored on any other consoles?

I already explained it in an earlier post:

Calwings posted...

All sex scenes (the game was originally an eroge visual novel on PC) and all scenes of full nudity were removed from the original console port in Japan back in 2017, and the new release for the Switch will be the same. All of the non-explicit and non-nude scenes were left completely intact. But the developer said that Sony told them to censor the PS4 version even more (probably asked them to cover up or flat-out remove some of the more revealing scenes) for this new western release. So again, this is Sony telling developers that a game that was already within the bounds of an M rating needed to be censored even further for no good reason.

To sum it up: the fully uncensored original version is still PC only, but the western PS4 version has even more censorship compared to the western Switch version or the Japanese PS4 version because Sony are going extra-hard on censoring anime games now.

Eh, he was close enough. The games that are being censored are the ones that sexualize underage characters. Fictional or not, I'm not going to get into the semantics of the initial post.

Is it? If that's the case, then why isn't every game with sexual content being censored? It hardly seems to be an issue of double standards for Japanese/western games when that's like the biggest difference in regards to sexual content that they have

There's literally an example posted in this very topic of a lewd scene involving a fully grown, legal age, adult female being censored by Sony.
