A few words regarding the crucial difference between censorship and the creators consciously choosing to edit their content.

I dedicate this post to every salty dudebro who had the gall to suggest that we at BABD want to “strangle creativity”, because heavens forbid anyone was openly critical of The Thing You Like and suggested it has problems!

Important quote from the video:

Or is it only censorship when it’s people who aren’t you, and don’t think like you, getting what they want for once instead of you?

Dear dudebros, please ask yourself the above question next time before you type a single word of a reply to us.

edit: “Thanks” to Tumblr’s absurdly broken video post feature, the video initially didn’t load. Fixed now.

Look, I’m not saying that this marketing strategy wouldn’t be effective at getting the attention of twelve year olds… but is this really the best way to market products supposedly suitable for pre- teens?

Please. Why would you do this to yourself

#Why would you put yourself in a position of being so easily disproven by anybody who has Dark Souls #that’s a lot of people #don’t be an ass

That “debunk” attempt gets a sad trombone and no redos.

Charmingly they later tried to spin it as “well could be a Ms Male Character” – displaying an amazing lack of understanding of the trope.

As a side note, please don’t bother our debunker – they’ve already declared they are not interested in learning to improve and no amount of contact will change that (their blog is also very NSFW).
