“Some kids might be watching this. Tone down the boobs and ass, but… leave the violence.”

-Amazon, probably

Yeah I’ve always found it funny how people make a shit storm about T&A but have zero issues showing the most disgusting and brutal violence on screen.

I know that people are trying to stop seeming pervy but there is still something odd about it.

Reminds me of the discourse around Mortal Kombat 1, and how the series has gradually reduced the skimpiness of outfits. On one hand I get it, but on the other hand they have ratchets up the violence to hilariously OTT levels.

Like I just don’t get how someone is ok developing a game where the thanksgiving themed fatality is literally one fighter forcing food into another fighter and having it burst out of their faces with blood and guts, but are like “eww!” When one of their female characters is showing too much skin.

At the end of the day though, the developers should feel free to creat whatever they want but like I said its just weird.

lol I was about to comment about this. MK community is so weird when people are fine with the gruesome violence, even when it’s the female characters being dismembered on screen. But when it’s about them showing some skins? “Nah not in my game”

It feels like NRS bounced hard and overcorrect into the other side of the spectrum. Even a little bit of skins got censored, like how Nitara has pants with human skin color instead of showing thighs.

It’s basically all modern media. We are completely fine with showing the most graphic gore and violence imaginable but are so sexually repressed as a society even the slightest amount of skin showing unsettles us.
