So, following up on the outrage over “censoring” Skullgirls (six months after the fact) we now have the a new censorship scandal… censoring a not yet released Street Fighter V in a manner that we find truly hilarious.
As some of you may recall, some time ago we expressed some concerns with Rainbow Mika (R Mika)’s costume updates – and immediately had a horde descend to insist that it was totally legit, there is nothing sexualized about it it’s just wrestling and we’re complaining about nothing.
Now we have people rioting because it appears that her signature tag-team double butt attack animation has been altered! Well right before beginning her mega attack, Mika does a little half-turn and smacks her butt with her hand… and now the camera doesn’t focus on her butt for that smack.
Yes, apparently these people are unsatisfied with only this much sexualization:
And they’ve decided they appropriate thing to do is not to respect the creator’s creative freedom of altering their own content – but rather to start a petition. Oh there’s also some other minor changes (pretty much all camera angles) but the butt slap moment is the one specifically cited in the petition.
And of course, in the top comments of the petition is this gem:
@whereismywizardhat was right, the ride never ends.
