The biggest problem isn't that stores are refusing to sell the products. If Google, Nintendo, or Steam decided they wouldn't accept a product, we'd simply go somewhere else and buy it anyway.
The problem arises when credit card companies start censoring content. And guess what, much of the censorship imposed by the platforms mentioned above is just an extension of Mastercard/Visa TOS.

Combine this with the fact that there are two problematic factors these days:
1. activists making money by looking for anything to "fight" against
2. retarded governments winning votes from even more retarded women, pushing censorship further and further, all for the sake of the children

It's actually insane how much things have geared up into this strange secular puritanism. They really seem like Dr Breen is leading them to make us utterly controlled. Not even your perversions are free from meddling. No doubt they've already conspired to come up with some kind of form of mind or chemical control for all of us as well. It's not enough to take away what little bread and circuses we have, as you saw with what they did with AI, they want absolute spreadsheet micromanaging. It appears they plan on starving our socioeconomic stage to make it happen.

You've been there since 2018. Have you been sleeping the last 8 years? Anime fanservice content has been under constant siege ever since Sony decided to kill Senran Kagura for their new AAA western-oriented brand image. Gachafags so far have been mostly ignored because their industry prints money but eventually it will come for everything. Maybe then the mass of gachatards will get angry enough to force the tide back when their backs are against the wall.

Both as a matter of fact. Looking to the Janus principle. Also known as the two-handed dialectic. You control two sides and ensure that no matter what you always win. You see this on a smaller level with local politics. No matter what house wins, the financial class benefits. No media outlet, no institution, is left unadultered by these people. Including video games. If not more so because they are an excellent social conditioning vector.
>>743920635
Because it deters you from being completely demoralized and controlled. This is especially a problem for single men. They are a commodity and cannot be allowed to exist outside of the rat race unmolested. Did you not notice the constant news about inceldom, lack of working drive, and lack of breeding future tax payers? They don't want the floods of immigrants used for economic purposes to fall into the same trap. Those men are also suffering similar effects and must be managed.

Sony changed their policies after a company managed to get their game banned in Britain, which in turn caused the BBC to run news articles about a game containing sexualized children, that then ended up being seen by the British CEO

Content approval was then sent through a western lens and that's where we are today.

Apple and Google's Anti-Fiction activists are an extreme threat to fiction. It is policy by mobile duopoly to ban fictional expressions they deem noncompliant to Anti-Fiction standards. Most publishers comply in advance per the chilling effect/prior restraint. The rest spend the money to censor/expurgate previously uncensored content, assuming their fiction wasn't just outright banned like Valve's Anti-Fiction activists have been known to do during Steam's censoring/approval process.

Kadokawa's CEO expressed his thoughts about Google and Apple's affect on the entire manga industry.

> Japan is overflowing with manga that is "even more stimulating than gravure."
> "With that in mind," he said, "a lot of Japanese manga won't pass review at Google or Apple. So, while keeping that in mind, I do somewhat have the feeling that we have to re-establish the standards of what is okay to release and what isn't for the internet era. In the publishing industry that I'm in, everyone is in the pro-freedom of speech camp, but I do get this strong feeling that we have to redraw the line somehow."

Kodansha's K Manga app censorship is to comply with Apple and Google.

>Asked about this censorship, Kodansha explained to Bounding Into Comics that in order to comply with the Android and IOS Terms of Services, they will have to make “unavoidable modifications” to content on the K MANGA mobile app.

Google's Anti-Ficition restrictions have even established a chilling effect on journalists' coverage of video games because of Google AdSense.

I agree with both of these, but I actually think implementing the first one is likely to be far harder. You have to remember, freedom of speech and freedom of religion as understood in the modern west were created by Christians who all actually believed heresy was literally a deadly sin, in the aftermath of the Thirty Years War and other similar conflicts. Belief that something is immoral does not prevent people from believing that legally prohibiting it is wrong.

In contrast, I think many governments would be reluctant to impose the regulation required in #1 because it would damage their country's economy to restrict multinational corporations in this way when other countries aren't also doing it. Introducing these regulations when they aren't seen as the norm would just cause businesses to abandon their markets.

Yes, for all intents and purposes. No new console games have been made since Sony's policies were put in place and all that was left was a Japan-only gacha that ended service last year. Supposedly they are going to reveal another one this year called Project N, but if you're not into card games and gacha mechanics, again, the series may as well be dead.
>>743921247
This censorship has never been about ratings. The people in charge of this don't care about any notion of "age-appropriateness", to them the content is objectionable in and of itself and games will get censored or banned if they trip specific flags decided by the platform holders themselves regardless of whether they're E-rated or M-rated or even CERO Z. Valve (who banned Brown Dust 2) presented probably the most stark example of this when they banned a game that was rated Teen by the ESRB because in their opinion "the game appeals to pedophiles". That was all the justification they needed to ban it. We're at the point where games can be banned or censored simply because they appeal to the wrong groups of people.

There really is so much about this situation. About then. About now. Yet, most people don't even recognize how restricted fictional expression is.
Anyway, I'm struggling with how to express my thoughts, so I made a timeline of events of Sony Interactive Entertainment's censorship.
- UK has Anti-Fiction laws criminalizing pornographic lolisho.
- Ecchi games with lolis release in the UK per PEGI and the UK's Video Games Council. Ecchi games with lolis release in in countries that criminalize lolisho, but it is entirely legal because ecchi isn't pornography
- Suddenly, the UK's Video Standards Council decides Omega Labyrinth Z is bad for kids despite its PEGI 18 rating. They ban PQube's release/localization. The game is still legal to import.
- Sony's PlayStation divison has been HQ'd in America since 2016. Sony banned Super Seducer days prior to the UK banning Omega Labyrinth Z. (Fun fact: The 3rd game got banned by Steam years later, depsite previous games' release on Steam without censorship.)
- After a few months of Omega Labyrinth Z's ban by the UK, Sony decides to ban PQube's release/localization of Omega Labyrinth Z in all regions.
- Sony establishes stricter restrictions on fictional expression. All Japanese games now have to go through a censorious approval process in English and during the Western hours by Sony Interactive Entertainment. (Note: Sony's Anti-Fiction restrictions are likely still in effect to this day. The chilling effects are everywhere, and the censorship is invisible because of compliance in advance by publishers. For a 2025 example of Sony censorship, see attached.)
- Games that were censored by Sony were uncensored on other platforms. The Video Games Council even approves of these PEGI-rated, uncensored versions.
- The Wall Street Journal investigates this situation. Sony cites #MeToo and video game streaming.

(cont.)
When it comes to any kind of clawing back to an earlier or more relaxed standard you start running in to numerous problems.

Western countries have made it 100% clear anyone appearing in sexual material needs to be 18+ and the rules for real people were put in place in 1984 for the US/Hollywood. Many moral panics and controversies happened in various media that created a much more hostile enviornment over anything sexual while violence slipped through.

Japan on the other hand had a culture that was a bit more lax in enforcing rules on what was considered sexual (innocent nudity, nudity as a joke, peeking up panties being an embarassing thing, any kind of sexual harassment being called teasing) and pretty much allow it to happen to Junior High students upwards. They're not going to budge on that part and every Japanese production about stuff happening to you the player (who is in high school) where your classmates and little sister start doing sexual stuff is going to have trouble coming out.
>>
>>743925175
Doesn't help that a majority of their media would just not be available to watch anymore if they decided to have this stuff suddenly banned.
That's completely unreasonable.

>>743923151 (me)
There was so many incentives for Sony. There were external and internal pressures. The Japanese tend to blame global audiences and modern audiences, but I believe that's too imprecise and defeatist. I believe the core cause is the existence of subversive forces within fiction communities and fiction-producing companies. Their goal is simply to censor fictional expression. The times may influence their restrictions, but the key problem is their refusal to differentiate fictional expressions from nonfictional expressions. I call them Anti-Fiction activists, and it's the only way I can make sense of the awful state of fiction expurgation & chilling effects on fictional expression. They must be gatekept from all managerial positions related to fiction publication & communities.

>>743923404
Yes, but the current state has proven that devs are compliant to chilling effects. If publishers intend to release on Nintendo of America/Europe, they have to deal with the Anti-Fiction activists at NOA/NOE.
Additionally, the chilling effects go beyond just console/e-store platform holders. Elon's X.com banned LoveR Kiss' (https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/742634175/) official account during the screenshot contest. Other American social media platforms are even worse regarding fictional expression. Personally, I suspect most in-game upskirt censorship may be compliance to social media and AdSense.

>>743923564
I've written about DOAX3's VR mode censorship, but I don't know much about Happy Manager other than that I saw it mentioned in the archives. Do you know more?
DOAX3's VR Mode is really good example of censorship resulting from English Anti-Fiction journalists, but I'm unsure if the censorship was enforced by Sony. Then again, Senran Kagura Estival Versus has cut content regarding Sony's PlayStation Camera. Additionally, it's indicative of censorship that Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash's PSVR Mode lacks interactivity/intimacy mode.

>>
>>743925175
I think the difference is that the United States protects speech while Japan protects expression.
Because Japan's analysis is through the lens of expression, it's obscenity laws are enforced against expressions (something that is seen) like genitalia. Meanwhile, America's censorship targets themes (something that is conveyed through language). Does this make sense? It's something I've only recently started thinking about.

Incidentally, America has a history of Anti-Fiction restrictions like the Comic Code Authority and the Hays Code. I also think someone like Anita Sarkeesian has a lot of parallels to Fredric Wertham because they were both Anti-Fiction activists.
>>
>>743925175
>Western countries have made it 100% clear anyone appearing in sexual material needs to be 18+
Companies and games were already acknowledging this by removing the ages from Senran Kagura games and aging up lolis to adults in western releases.
It wasn't enough and eventually they started attacking the games based on some retarded notions of consent (how the fuck do you judge whether a fictional character is consenting) and body type/head shape to determine underage basically declaring the whole art style to be inherently pedophilic.
Point being, some compromises WERE made without seriously affecting the integrity of the works and they weren't enough. An inch was given and they took a mile. That's why I'm not willing to accept compromise any more. MeToo and its effects on the culture must be erased and feminist groups discredited if not persecuted. Anime subculture is too large and ingrained in the west now for them to just ban it entirely without inciting huge backlash and possibly creating an uncontrollable black market, which is why they're leaning on platforms and corporations to censor it for them. Alternative channels must be established run by friendly groups instead of suits desperate to look good to the crowd like the major corporations are.

It is absolutely true that mass social media has been an amplifier for this shit, not just in terms of extending the reach and scope of the whining but also in the mindsets it induces in people by essentially acting as a 24-hour panopticon making people constantly afraid of being canceled for social misdemeanors and adopting defensive attitudes in response. When anime culture was spread among hobbyist forums, far less people gave a shit a boy whether the anime girl was “ethical” to fap to or not. On X.com it’s all they can think about because if they make the mistake of expressing “problematic” attraction, a thousand retards will instantly materialize out of the ether to put them through a struggle session.
