In this case, the people defending the LGBT content typically don't do so because of artistic integrity, as the outcry is probably powerless and there's no real threat to the integrity anyway. The LGBT argument typically happens when LGBT content has been added into the game, and a certain camp is crying out for it to be removed. The claimed idea of artistic integrity demands that the change be undone to preserve the integrity that has been threatened by the change. But when it enters into the discussion here is when you have the company making a change - whether because a marketplace has a restriction on content that they have to work around or because they've modified the product to western tastes. Yes, people will scoff at this stuff, often because they feel it's misogynistic. The anime titty (I hate that this conversation has me typing that out repeatedly, by the way) argument typically starts when a change has already been made. You're adding this artistic integrity element which I don't think is claimed here. This is where I think you're going into nonsense territory. I think it's a thing thing struck out to me because I do in fact have a lot of friends that are more laissez faire and would rather devs not be censored in either case (both in sexualized characters and LGBT characters) We know (and probably agree) that there is way more into this with the sexualization of characters and better representation of LGBT people, but neither of those are captured in the initial thing. That works because the initial argument about inconsistency is too shallow and doesn't delve into all the aspects that we're now discussing. Reverse argument I can see them throwing right back:Įra Gamers: "Don't censor LGBT characters and let devs make the game they want."Īlso Era Gamers: "How dare the devs make the games they want, censor anime titties!"

Actually I would say the reversed argument, in the shallow version of what Ms.
