What's the purpose?>w-why do you care?But why did the devs care enough to change it when it did not affect gameplay?
>>729024387Probably some Sega of America bullshit mandate
>>729024387Shut up incel
>>729024387Because it's a kids game and society is getting progressively more sexualized. You can't have a cartoon mention butts as a joke anymore because everyone will scream how it's porn and everyone involved is a groomer. Why risk with cleavage in a game for little kids. Times change, old man.And since it does not affect gameplay, which is the most important part of the game, why DO you care?
>Sonic fans kept making fun of people who complained about this while asking for a 12 year old girl to get shot to death in the movie
>>729024857 Yeah, the Sonic fandom can be a bizarre mix of taking things way too seriously and then turning around to dunk on people for caring at all. It’s like one second they’re writing dissertations about Tails' character arc, and the next they’re memeing about offing a child character for laughs. No consistency, just chaos.
>>729024387Politics
>>729024387that is a bat
>>729024387they like to body shame big breast
>>729024387It's because her boobs are cold, she had to cover them up. If only she had a nice young human man to warm them for her...
>>729025252A very SEXY bat...
>>729024835>it's a kids game>You can't have a cartoon mention butts as a joke anymore because everyone will scream how it's porn>Times change, old man.Yet, they're fine with introducing faggot/dyke/tranny characters and STILL claiming they're "non-sexual".All these woke fags are doing is hiding the truth and denying reality.- Women have breasts.- Homosexuals and transexuals are mentally ill.Get over it.
>>729024387I remember cooming once or twice to some official art of Rouge I downloaded from the Internet back when Sonic Adventure 2 was a new upcoming release and I was about 13-14 years old. Thankfully it didn't turn me into a furry permanently.
>>729024835>NOOOOO THE KIDS CAN'T SEE A HINT OF CLEAVAGE OR THEY WILL BE CORRUPTED>oh but obscene amounts of gore and dismemberment are okay
>>729024387The one on the right actually looks like a heart so that's the better one.
>>729024387>What's the purpose?It's because Sega is using the Sonic IP for a lot more cross promotions with non-videogames companies nowadays, and as a result are trying to "tone down" certain elements of the series that would (amusingly) not be considered safe enough by said companies' marketing standards.Just look at how flat they made Rouge in some piece made for a Red Bull/rally race promotion.
>>729025252>>729025412>A very SEXY bat..
>>729029006Because you couldn't tell the intent before? Shut the hell up, censorship apologist.
Homosexuality, thankfully I have the cure:https://ahri2mp4.rule34.xxx//images/2744/3475815cb684a4716333a19474a08c3f.mp4?12569932
>>729029530Why was it safe 15+ years ago but not safe today?
>>729031107The world was a different place fifteen years ago, just like how it was a different place fifteen years before that, and before that, etc.
>>729024387They don't kids noticing the difference between women and men. Not even in a furry game, lol.
>>729031231>different*better>>729031602if that was the case they'd remove her feminine eyelashes
>>729024835>Because it's a kids game and society is getting progressively more sexualizedsociety and the younger generations have never had LESS sex than they do right now, actually.
>>729024835People keep saying this shit but it's an oversimpliciation. More depraved and hedonistic gross shit has never been more prevalent and mainstream tv is now full of full nudity sex scenes where two ugly people who barely know each other grunt like pigs while humping each other and literal gay orgies are not an uncommon sight in media now. Male gaze oriented shit like big booby feminine women like Rouge is what is being censored. Older media was full of tits and ass but it wasn't nearly as gay and depraved.
>>729024387>hey developer kun HR and marketing send a memo to tone down rouge figure because she looks a bit too slutty for a pg 10 game>yeah i know its the north american division but the JP higuer ups approved of it so just do it because they fear it might spark some controversythere, sometimes it isn't so hard to think what really happened.
>>729031107Fifteen years is actually a long time. We categorize time periods by decade. 70's sensibilities are different from 80's sensibilities, and so on. Maybe by 2030 people will be cool with sexualizing anthropomorphic bats in E-rated games again, who knows.
>>729024387should've invested that time on making the final boss not shit
>>729031928>literal gay orgies are not an uncommon sight in media nowI've literally never seen a gay orgy in any mainstream media, this sounds like a you problem. I guess maybe Steven Universe?
>They're just bat tits, they don't matter!Yeah? If they don't matter, then why change them?
>>729033345Don't watch the new Critical Role cartoon then.>this sounds like a you problemI'm going to hire 20 clowns to take turns playing circus music outside your house 24/7, it's a you problem if it pisses you off. Congrats on mastering the ancient art of saying absolutely nothing while sounding like a prick.
all they had to do was not change it and they somehow fucked it up
>>729027957they dont put gore in kids games
>>729024387Why does a boobe crease trigger these corpo heads? As if kids have never been on a beach before.
>>729034086because women should wear burka.
>>729034086Faggots and women, literally.
>>729034220I'm a faggot and I support women having boobs though. Kids see boobs all the time. Seems like an ulterior motive like Muslims trying to slowly convert public attitude.
>>729034560Possible, though it is mostly women that have the idea of "liberation". They think that it is exploitative of their bodies and that boys should never find enjoyment in it. A persons body is not for another person, basically. Of course, they say this while looking at their fireman calendar, so I have no want to entertain hypocrites.
kinda off-topic but I hate how sonic nowadays it's just sanitized games, recycled shit, references, crossovershit and product placement.
Rouge owes me sex
>>729034724They say this while making $15 a month letting the entirety of the third world see their gaping anuses online. Exploitation and degradation of real life women is fine to them as long as they get cash for it, but innocent and wholesome depictions of attractive women in media is verboten.
>>729034086you don't even need to go to the beach to see bitch nowaday, what even going on these retard head ?
>>729034897people don't go outside anymore.
>>729033679>Critical RoleNever heard of it. What kind of faggot shit are you watching and then acting all surprised when there's gay orgies? Again, sounds like a (You) problem.
>>729034993The problem is that it exists in the first place. You shouldn't have to stick your head in the sand and hide in caves to avoid faggot shit.
>>729024387Because some religious groups will get their feelings hurt if they see skin, so they complain loud enough and put enough money towards getting shit censored. You let this happen.
>>729034724Seems like an oxymoron to see hiding some of your body as liberation. A lot of women expose their cleavage just to give their chest room to breathe, and guys are going to get turned on by the mere sight of it whether they like it or not. It's like asking me to not enjoy the sight of a good dick.
>>729027957yeah we all remember that one time sonic did a mexican cartel thing on eggman
>>729034897If anything this is counter productive. The reason why Indians are so horny is because of how sexually repressed they are, and also why it's dangerous for a woman without a burkha to be in highly populated Muslim countries. There's an argument to be made about keeping Rouge's cleavage. Better to give men a lot of small doses.
>>729025220>>729024387Honestly whoever the asshole responsible for ruining her deserves to be dragged behind a car. Better yet program a T-800 Terminator to hunt the bastard down.
>>729035173The problem isn't hiding their own bodies. They don't want men to depict women with it without their consent. It is part of the "rape culture". Basically the idea that men say they are 'entitled' to be able to see naked women and that is cringe. Women have been convinced that rape exists because men have taught every generation that women are only good for their bodies and that goes in to all of our media/culture. So if they can scrub out sexy women from media, then men will be forced into viewing women as people, instead of objects for their sexual gratification.
>>729024387>named rouge, as in a blush makeupSHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SEXUAL
>>729036031I don't see how making women flat chested in cartoons is helping things. It's just erasing a natural part of their body. They're still going to see their classmates who have boobs. If we're arguing about jiggle physics, then I can understand that sentiment.
>>729035754It is sad that muslims are that retarded. We already have plenty of history on what happens when you cover up women and teach that any part of them is scandalous to see. We have even made fun of this before.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8emtXT1cbY
>>729036276They won't see anything wrong with it until young girls form a conniption about their chests, because no girls in young media are allowed to have breasts anymore. Did you know that mastectomies are on the rise? Not because of girls with oversized breasts that want a reduction, I'm talking about complete removal because they have become convinced that breasts are unnatural. It's being covered up because of the association with the trans movement, but a lot of girls aren't even considering themselves men, they just don't want breasts. Medical world won't say no, because $$$
>>729036653I just see this as harmful. Girls are going to grow up feeling ashamed about their chests because that's the attitude that adults are feeding into them. It's grim.
>>729036906Of course it's harmful, but idiots don't think about 20 years in the future. Especially if it is about the human condition. They only think in the short term and about "how can this make me look virtuous?" Once blow back starts, they will say "But I had good intentions" They will hope that this is enough for them to avoid being dragged into the street and beaten.
Do we blame millennials or gen x for this?
>>729036135Heard!
>>729024590go back to resetgender
>>729024387>buy game>they censor itcouldn't be me
>>729037110Just retarded. I knew how this was going to pan out when these people were shaming the mere existence of it, and I'm not even attracted to it.>>729037175Millennials. Anita Sarkeesian is one of many.
>>729024857And people wonder why Blackbuster Critic was shitting on Sonicfags? He was the hero we didn't deserve, but need.
>>729033345>a problem doesn't exist if *i* don't see itliteral object permanence babby mode
you had time to complain when they nerfed Amy panties and Rouge bust now it's too late you'll never see those proportions again
>>729037953>Anita Sarkeesian is one of many.I dunno how she is not arrested yet. She literally committed terrorism.>>729039304If the dumb shits at Sega keep neglecting them, I'm done buying any future games. Crossworlds was supposed to fix their fuckups but NOPE doesn't want to listen to their fan base. Let the modding community fix their shit and put it in the game's next update.
>>729024387Can I just say as a fellow gooner the worst part of her redesign is they covered her back. Forget about sex appeal, she needs those exposed to fly since thats where her wings are.
>>729039558She's a misogynist. She took a badass like Zero Suit Samus and still managed to find something to complain about.
>>729039604>they covered her backIt makes no sense I agree. Looks like the wings now are clipping through the outfit. Sega is too lazy to fix that.>>729039832Well no shit, she deserves to be behind bars.
>>729040763Thank goodness One Piece got a redub
>>729041418DBZ too. thank god.
>wItHoUt ThE tImEsToNeS!!!1!1!one!!!??!???
>>729041418>>729041751Unfortunately Funimation is no more. I dunno who currently has the rights for the English dubs of One Piece and DBZ and who currently has them I hope they kept the same VA cast.
>>729041931How recent is this? I've been waiting for Egghead to finish before I start watching again.
>>729041931>Unfortunately Funimation is no more.>Funimation>Unfortunately>Literally three assholes in a trailer in Texas aping the Ocean dubWhat the fuck happened to the time
what is the point of making rogue the titsif they end up pussing out and making her tits smaller or hidden away or otherwise hiding the fact that shes supposed to be sexy.This is what you wanted, sega. a femme fatal spy bat. fucking own it and stop being faggots.
>>729042910they did back in the day. but now they had to nerf her since sonic media is broadcasting again
>>729029750>Because you couldn't tell the intent before?Clearly not, since from every angle before, it looks like a breastplate. Please never speak again.
>>729024387You can care but most don't and your rage won't lead to anything but other angry rightards shitting themselves on twitter and 4chan and sharty
>>729034724Anon... Women don't think.Someone else did the thinking for them for that.
She looked real good at the 2014 Olympics.
>>729044571Honest to god, it was probably the best version of her in official games.
>>729044571That was 11 years ago
>>729044664back when we still had fanservice
>>729044664Yeah, and it still looks better than any of the versions of her that have come out after. Sonic games have clearly been moving backwards for years.
>>729044630>>729044571Seriously, Sega should've stuck with this in later games.
>>729024387When you hire people whose sole purpose is to censor shit, you have to give them work to justify their salary, and in Japan, you can't just fire them because of their retarded labor laws (and they'll fight tooth and nail to justify themselves and keep their jobs because literally who doesn't want to get paid six figures just to cover up boobies on a video game character? It's basically money for nothing).
They keep going back and forth with this. In the Fall Guys clone, she flies at you cleavage first during loading screens if you're playing as her.
>>729024387>blaming it on SoA as if they've been allowed to make any decisions for the past 20 yearslol
>>729045013If this was fine in Rumble, why the fuck is it not fine in Crossworlds? Motherfuckers need to patch her tits back in in the next Crossworlds update. Sick of this negligence already.
obviously, Sonic Team is to blame. want proof? literally just look at the games NOT made by Sonic Team. like picrel or >>729044571Rouge's tits only disappear when they're in charge.
>>729025252and this is a human
>>729043442Fuck you. It always looked like a heart. But more importantly, it looked like BOOBS. Because IT WAS BOOBS.
>>729026280>I remember cooming once or twice to some official art of RougeIt's the Rivals 2 promotional render for me.
>>729045479Rouge is most likely a Honduran white bat
>>729024857Rouge's breast have no bearing on her character or story or plot of the movieMaria's death is the entire crux of Shadow's backstory and character, the most popular character in the franchise.
>>729045674She still dies though. She just explodes instead IIRC.
>>729045479reminder that rouge sleeps like that and it's really cute
The fact they had to make her less sexy over the years is funny as fuck to me. Like a real conversation has taken place where people have had to seriously argue that the bat anthro lady is too sexy.
>>729025220that guy would have his throat slit if he went to live in Palestine. there's something strange with the left siding with people that not only wants to kill you but thinks that god wants them to kill you. almost like they aren't thinking straight.
>>729037742You have to buy the game again full price for the censorship
>>729045674>being sultry has no bearing on a femme fatal
>>729045763a reminder that amy also had big tits in SA2
>>729045590>It always looked like a heart.Barely>it looked like SHIT. Because IT WAS SHITThanks for agreeing that a redesign was in order.
>>729045590She has a nice ass and legs too. They really did her dirty post SA2. She is blatant sex appeal but she owns it and it made her a fun character. She also has a lot of other traits that makes her likable and taken seriously. I am also pissed they removed non blatant sexy traits like the fangs and the details on her wings. She's a bat and should look more like one.
>>729024387To shoo away zoophiles like you
>>729045763>Like a real conversation has taken place where people have had to seriously argue that the bat anthro lady is too sexy.I always think about what these conversations must be like.
>>729045806It's obvious they truly done stand for anything and purely exist to destroy western civilization not unlike a virus or cancer does to an organism they reside in.
>>729045748If she sleeps upside down, why does she have a bed on the ground?
>>729025220That's weird, cause even the woke coomers doing art for the current comics seem to want Rouge to have giant tits. (Vanilla too).
>>729045879Go to hell. You aren't arguing for "more clear signaling that it's boobs or a heart." Because we had that. Generations made it more than clear with a better model. UNTIL cleavage was taken away from us.
>>729045818It literally doesn't The last game she acted like a femme was in Heroes, maybe 06 if you're pushing it. That was 19 fucking years ago. Every adaption of Rouge since then has been "Hi Sonic, I'm friendly!"
>>729045470Might as well get rid of the current ST staff and replace them with new staff members that won't ruin the characters.
>>729045903Yeah, fangs help with her theming.
>>729046115there's like 3 artists for IDW that started off doing sonic porn
>>729045975>Noooooo! The hippos' bellies are too lewd!Wild stuff really. I bet you have the original artist malding.
>>729035050So you're some 4chan faglord who thinks he's on a moral crusade
>>729044571i thought that was from that rouge mission in generations
>>729040763Hell of a reach.
>>729045648She 100% is. There was an interview done with her designer that gets posted here every so often where he confirms that he was trying to make her look latina. He also did the designs for characters in Samba de Amigo, so he was probably in a mood or something. It's kind of a shame we've never had a Rouge VA who did a Hispanic accent or anything. She might be even hotter with one.
>>729024835>You can't have a cartoon mention butts as a joke anymore because everyone will scream how it's porn and everyone involved is a groomer.but you can recommend a gay porn comic to the same child audience and it's a-okay!get the fuck out of here
>>729045903>>729046231She still has fangs. In Crossworlds when her mouth is opened, you can see them.
