Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo censors out the 'Bust slider' from your character creator in Xenoblade X

If any of you make a decision to no longer purchase the game based on this decision, I pity you.

You take the principle of self-censorship as a greater evil over the objectification and subjugation of an entire gender.


if i'm an artist and i draw a woman with large breasts how does that impact real women?

i personally don't see why the exclusion should impact someone's purchase of the game although i do hate censorship, but what you said there is a bit weird

That's a legit issue. A canned titty slider is not.

That's kind of self-centered, isn't it?  You care because you can't make the game represent you but an A-cup or D-cup female doesn't matter?  It's just boobs, it's just hair, it's just color.  


which is why this whole thing about "objectification" is hilarious... generally the people pushing this don't realise that they discriminate against certain types of women to allay the fears of others

 

apparently women with large breasts or pronounced sexual characteristics are freaks and should not be represented in games if you follow the logic that is used... which is funny since the proposed problem ( discrimination against women ) is further perpetuated 



I've been a naughty boy.



Nintendo should update the game to fix the missing slider. As you can change the appearance of the main character mid-game, it would be possible to fix existing saves which are already many hours into the game without the need to start from scratch.

It is absolutely not OK to treat adult gamers like kids and everybody who oopses censorship should complain about it loudly. That not only provides free advertising to the game due to increased public awareness, it also forces Nintendo to take action and restore the feature.

Are you the same person who thinks violent games leads to real word violence from the users?

Absolutely not.  In fact, I've written the exact opposite for essays and other documents.

My point being that a company decided that it's own product has an element that it deemed likely inappropriate in the US and yet more people seem bothered by the idea of a company taking the high road than their own selves taking a high road.

Everyone complaining about the removal isn't asking why it was removed.  They are complaining as though they are entitled to the feature regardless of the reasoning behind the removal.  The reason is likely tied to the recent events in the US regarding women and the video game industry.  Meaning those complaining are putting their own selfish desires above the other half of the population.

Further, the feature was minor in the context of no consequence to the game itself (especially when you're looking at her back for 90% - 95% of the game) and deciding to end a purchase for such an issue is pitiful.    Games are censored by their devs/pubs all the time for regional content and rarely does anyone give a damn, much less cancel a pre-order.  The only reason this one has gained any traction is due to the nature of boys wanting to be boys.  And most of them are not man enough to admit it.
