The censorship extends beyond the outfit,

Koreans are notorious morbid-feminists. It's likely they took it from whatever SEA sweatshop made the other assets and put it in the game without checking if it fit the company's political bias.

>>738716042
But that doesn't actually make a lick of sense cause if the slightest tiniest blowback caused them to want to revert it that easily then they clearly didn't actually need to censor it in the first place and with how noticeable it is there's no way they didn't think people wouldn't notice. Your logic does not hold up under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

It's a "bug" in the same way that people will say their account was "hacked" after getting backlash for a dumb post.

I remember modding my morrowind save with an armor mod that wasn't compatible with the body mod I was using, so the game would just revert to the vanilla body model, maybe it's something like that, some hierarchy problem in the code or something

Yea the thing with bugs is that they show up where you don't want them to and they hardly make sense

China and Korea can only produce censored slop that apes true Japanese quality. If you want sex, you should be enjoying real Japanese masterpieces, not bootlegs.

Lust is a sin, but beauty is goodness. And God as my witness, quality upskirts are beautiful.

It produces gooner bait until that bait gets noticed by the hyper feminists and censored to shit. Same thing happens in China, only replace hyper feminists with the CCP.
They both try to copy Japan, but they don't have the freedom of artistic expression Japan has, so the result is always either censored or not censored yet.

Porn is literally banned in Korea, that's why
