Capcom has censored Cammy´s nipples in the latest “Street Fighter V” patch? - What the hell Capcom

I (Robin Ek, TGG) honestly don´t know if I should laugh or cry when it comes to Capcom and "Street Fighter V", because there seems to be no end to Capcom´s censorship madness. As it appears as if Capcom has censored Cammy´s breast nipples in the latest patch of SFV. So this is my (Robin Ek, TGG) take on the matter.

[Relientk77]

Cool so maybe she had her nipples chopped off or something

I hate this new generation, that gets offended on every little thing, it's so stupid. Can I say stupid or is that too offensive too?

[TGG_overlord]

Everything seems to be "offensive" nowadays, so there is a risk of that...

[G20WLY]

Maybe she's just warmer now after all that fighting? lol

Worlds first game with heat-sensitive nipple physics confirmed!! Street Fighter's so REAL! /S

Would be funny if that were true - they try to make it less 'hot' by raising the temperature haha ;^D

[UltimateMaster]

Cammy just got surgery done by Capcom to remove the nipples to make them look fake.

[Devilsknight]

Everybody seems to be offended indeed. Just look at this outcry for digital nipples.
*Rages over polygon boobs* - "Why are people offended so easy?!?!".

Sad, pathetic and ironical, all in one.

The human body has nipples indeed, therefor we can enjoy them IRL. Wouldnt want Zangiefs balls to be visable through the fabric either.

[Kingthrash360]

Dam tho.....not the nips Capcom .
First it was the bounce, now it's like....."we need to make it even less realistic ...enter phase 2 of breast degradation!!
whats phase 3 you ask???? Next, They wont cast a shadow!

[TheCommentator]

Cammy can't be anatomically correct, but my daughter can watch her favorite recording artists perform onstage in lingerie at the music awards or see a "wardrobe malfunction" during the Super Bowl... yeah, that makes sense. Thanks, SJW's, for tackling the important issues first like nipples under clothing in video games instead of addressing the countless ways famous women can exploit their own sexuality to get ahead in life just by dressing like whores. My children are way more exposed to real world influences in pop culture than they are to video game nipples.

[Bimkoblerutso]

Yeah, this is going to seem like a really ridiculous statement....but people paid for those nipples. It should be goddamn illegal to manipulate content like this when people have already ****ing paid for it.

SJW culture is out of control.

[rainslacker]

I admire your tenacity to go through all that effort to look for nipples.:)

More seriously, Capcom is just weird with these things. I mean, I can see why some of the localization houses for some games seem to think they have to censor localized versions(although they don't really have to), but the stuff being censored from SFV is so marginal that it hardly seems worthwhile. I mean, the buttslap was one thing, but were people complaining about the nipples? It's not like they were gratuitous, and they wouldn't be out of the ordinary. To some people think that people shouldn't have nipples?

@G20

Sad I know this, but when one is physically active, their blood is pumping more, and that will cause one's nipples to become more....prominent. Happens for males and females, it's not a gender thing.

Life lesson for the day I suppose.

That being said, I expect Team Ninja to upstage Capcom in their own nipple physics going forward.

@TheCommentator

While I"m sure you're aware, your kids are probably still exposed to worse things at school. Which is another issue which stems more from the things you speak about as people try to emulate these idols they look up to. To date, I don't really know many people that try to emulate any character from a video game....outside of comic, game, or anime conventions....maybe some in the real world, but certainly not a common thing.

Kind of makes one wonder where the objective evidence is that these bad things in video games are having an effect on society. Heck, even some spurious anecdotal evidence would be very hard to come by.

@TGG

I mentioned in a comment the other day taking up arms. but instead, consider researching an article on just how much of the idol emulation we see in society from video games to see if kids are really looking up to these characters, and where the basis is that it's harmful to the perception of women by others, and somehow damaging to them since it's not being emulated, and I'd imagine one would be hard pressed to find others placing expectations on others based on a representation from a video game.

[Tech5]

In the pc version they give it back and little extra too.

[TwoForce]

That's so goddamn annoying !

[TGG_overlord]

I pointed that out to Capcom via Twitter ;)

[Gaming_Cousin]

Let's take out a natural body part but leave in gun shots exploding heads and terrorists bombing building in games. People are f***ing retarded

[Erik7357]

Don't worry , they added nips to the male characters for you so that your nipple gaming content will still be satisfied.

[KentBenMei]

Accidentally disagreed, I completely agree.

[Muzikguy]

Stupid is offensive for sure. I usually use terms like idiot, dumbass, pansy and moron because those are way less offensive 😜️

Edit: This oversensitive bunch we have these days need to grow up (edit). All this offensive crap is making us go backwards as a society if you ask me

[rainslacker]

Consider these are the children born from the generation of those who preached free love and less control.

[Muzikguy]

Valid point you make there

[Nodoze]

I am offended at your offense of offensive material offending people. BAN BAN.. jk

I weep for the future of this country when everything is offensive to everyone. Grow a freaking backbone, and go elsewhere if you don't like. Always one to ruin things for everyone.

[skwidd]

Can I join and be offended by people being offended by nipples? What's wrong with covered nipples?? Its part of the human body. Oh right.. we're in denial. There are no nipples.. are they gonna make her flat chested in street fighter v?

[sampson3121]

flip that and the same can be said about you. oh wait! you never looked at it that way before have you?

[frostypants]

In previous generations they wouldn't have had them in the game to begin with, so it's hard to say whether people would have been offended or not.

[rainslacker]

Well, since cammy's first appearance, there was the butt crack riding leotard she wears, and no one was offended by that as I recall until this generation. I have a wall scroll of Chun-Li that I've had since the SNES days, and her nipples are clearly noticeable...along with a rather provocative "defeat" pose, and it was a pretty popular picture of her back in the day, and no one complained.

The lack of nipple definition was likely more due to limitations in hardware than anything else....although I don't recall if the PS3/360 versions had that or not. Beyond that...who was actually complaining about it this time that Capcom felt the need to remove it? Certainly didn't make any news that I'm aware of.

I think the reason it wasn't offensive in prior generations is more due to the fact that we didn't have an oversensitive group of control freaks invading the industry and community with their own ideals, and we were just allowed to enjoy what we wanted to without outside interference. Jack Thompson didn't get anywhere near the kind of respect the offended people are now, despite their actions and arguments being the same damn thing....just with a different reason to be triggered. Tomb Raider is the only game I can think of before around the middle of last gen that received any kind of negative feedback due to being overly sexual. Maybe Fear Effect, but that was kind of minimal since the game never really hit the mainstream.

[Kombatologist]

I'm all against censorship, but this begs the question: If they had censored Zangief's bulge, would it receive the same outcry?

[Erik7357]

No female nipples in the game anymore?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

[Errorist76]

Haven't nipples been offensive in the US for decades...weapons aren't of course.

[NecoTehSergal]

I'm offended by your opinion! As such I'll do what everyone usually does to me, and report you as Trolling because my feels are more important than facts! If I tell the mods that I'm super triggered they might ban you!!1!1!

I served in Vietnam - and had my nipples chopped off, your comment gave me a Vietnam Flashback Face and made me trigger myself so hard that I wet myself. Reported for trolling.

[Pongwater]

So stupid, but I blame the people who complained more than I blame capcom, though I'd prefer they didn't give in to the puritans. The human body has nipples. Deal with it.

[TGG_overlord]

"The human body has nipples. Deal with it." That´s the best comment that I´ve read so far today.

[gamer7804]

i blame both really, vocal minority complaining, then the company yielding artistic control.

[Muzikguy]

"Deal with it" needs to make a comeback because the sensitivity of today is disgusting

[Deadpooled]

Yep the censoring idiots can't counter it, works in so many ways. It's definitely making a comeback from what I've seen in the UK on social media these past few weeks (mainly in response to the Brexit 'petitions' and outcry from people who have no idea what 'democracy' is), it's a great counter to end an argument against those using political correctness in their arguments e.g. against those trying to justify womens 3 set vs mens 5 set tennis 'equal pay'.

[Muzikguy]

@deadpooled

I can definitely see why that would be considering the whole Brexit scenario. Nice to see that happening over there. Thanks for sharing 😊️ I hope one day there's some form of radical something that happens in the US. Something needs to happen to turn it from this whiny "you can't disagree with me or tell me I'm wrong because my momma says I'm the best, and rules don't apply to me" land back into something the world would be proud of

No female nipples in the game anymore?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

[dotwithshoes]

The human body does indeed have nipples, This isn't talking about the human body, it's talking about a digital representation of a character. My question is this, Does her not having nipples adversely affect your game play? If it does, you're the one with the problem, not Capcom.

[rainslacker]

Why isn't your question,

"Why is someone else so offended by her having nipples that them complaining compelled Capcom to remove them? What possible effect could her having prominent nipples actually have on those that are offended by it, and what could be so vastly devastating that it would compel those people to complain about it enough to get this change?"

Her nipples don't affect anyone's game play, and outside of a few out there titillated by it, weren't doing anything either way to my knowledge. It was never a discussion of if it was good or bad in the game from those playing it, because it was a non-issue.

But to someone, they must have been offended by it, and that seems like THEIR PROBLEM, WHICH THEY MADE INTO OUR PROBLEM, because we don't think developers or publishers should change their product to try and please every damn person on the planet because a select few feel they are so special that their beliefs are more important than the content creators or the players themselves.

So, while you may see it as us complaining that the nipples were removed, we're actually complaining that they were removed for the wrong reasons. No one who played the game cared either way that I've ever seen, but most of us do care that things like this don't stop at digital nipples or butt slaps, because we've already seen as time has passed, that the slippery slope has already been traversed and we're headed into the bottomless valley where it won't ever stop.

You see, we're not the one's asking developers to change their products. Others are. And those others are the ones we have problems with, because it means that the devs and pubs have to deal with these problems instead of just making the game the way they want to.

Our problem is, at times when we do demand change for other things we consider more important than some digital nipples....say some consumer unfriendly corporate policy or not being gouged with limited content games at high prices....they don't listen. But now, these people that aren't even buying the games are complaining, and their complaints are being heard, and worse, action is actually being taken. So, you see where the problems lie now?

We have problems, they don't care. Others have problems which have no real effect on said person...publisher cares. We, the gamers and customers get a press release about how the company is all about providing the best experience and things we complain about don't change.. These complainers complain, they sometimes get a press release, but often get actual remedied results to their complaints in an extremely timely fashion.

So....who has the problem?

[rainslacker]

Sadly, the publisher is just trying to avoid having to deal with this stuff publicly.

Which begs the question, what actual gains or change are the complainers actually making? Developers and publishers, for the most part, aren't doing this because it's what they feel is right, or because they want to be inclusive. They're doing it because the negative reception it brings is something they'd rather avoid.

The complainers are getting change through indoctrination, not changing any actual viewpoints on what is considered appropriate, and that is a shallow victory that won't live past the point they move onto their next target, or grow up and realize the world doesn't revolve around them, or better yet, they realize their time can be better spent on issues which actually could affect and change real people's lives.

When the complainers go away, so will all this self censorship. When looked at from this light, it should show that it's a shallow victory indeed. It's like they're winning battles, but not moving the front forward whatsoever. But damn if they haven't set feminism back a couple decades. How can one claim to be a feminist, while also claiming to be a victim who can't help themselves without the the support of others?

Now if we can just get the publishers to care what their actual customers complain about, and not want to deal with that fallout, things might get better....all around...not in relation to censorship...although that would come to.

[Littil_Devil]

Does this mean that Capcom will censor Chun Li´s nipples too?

[TGG_overlord]

Don´t give them any ideas now...

[Deadpooled]

or R Mika's or Lauras? They're pandering to the lowest denominator who don't even play these games the SJW feminazis who are always looking for a way to spread their BS.

[Erik7357]

Na, they will just add nips to the male characters for you to look at as well.

I also heard they were going to have camel toe dlc coming out in August.

[ZaWarudo]

Lame.

#BringBackTheNips

[TGG_overlord]

Thus the #crapcom hashtag on Twitter ;)

[TGG_overlord]

***UPDATE 1***

I´m not 100% sure about laws and such, but I think John Smith is on to something here:

"I'm not entirely sure here, but isn't it against the law to downgrade a product without the consent /approval of the owner/user. if you have brought a product, then the company has no right to alter the product in a way that actually degrades or lowers it value. I suggest you contact Capcom and tell them you are not satisfied with the changes the have made to your purchased product without permission alteration and would like them to provide a full refund for the trouble it has caused you".

[Silly gameAr]

That seems a little excessive.

[TGG_overlord]

To quote Mr. GamesGoodMeGood:
"Guess what folks? Feminists and SJWs are perfectly fine with Urien in nothing but a thong. Because you know, there's no problems with sexualizing male characters. Double standards and hypocrisy ahoy. As for Capcom, they are beyond saving now. Absolute pieces of shit."

[Lordani66]

@TGG I always say that. Not that I have problems with it but look how male characters are potrayed in games like Gears of War - muscled up brutes with tiny tiny brains, that don't want to do anything else but to kill,massacre and destroy, like primals. Are SJWs butthurt over that? Nope... As I said - not that I am, I'm just showing the double standards here.

[yomfweeee]

No, it isn't against the law for a company to change their game. If you don't want the change, stop the download. But then you can't play online.

[GameCrateEd]

""I'm not entirely sure here, but isn't it against the law to downgrade a product without the consent /approval of the owner/user."

If this were actually against the law there are hundreds of bad patches, unpopular nerfs, and screwed-up game updates in line before this particular issue.

[rainslacker]

It's not against the law because technically, the product that the consumer has isn't their property. Only the license belongs to the purchaser. Changes to a product are very common in gaming. Removal of features isn't unheard of. This isn't really even a downgrade selling a significantly different product, but rather an aesthetic change.

Now if the company made all the characters look the same, and removed significant features, there could be cause for such a claim, but as it stands, it wouldn't really be considered a downgrade, because Capcom can probably reason it out that the whole character model or character textures were changed and improved and likely show how appreciable gains were actually made.

In any case, that particular law would also apply to upgrades, because whether something is improved is wholly subjective. Take many Windows SP releases for instance. Most of the time they're improvements, but there are still people out there who think they aren't. Same here. Some people are going to consider it an improvement, and others are going to consider it a downgrade or removal.

In the end though, should it ever become an issue for a court to decide, it wouldn't likely get very far, because the user has to agree to the "upgrade", and the TOS stipulate what can be done with any version that happens to exist. The user agreed to the upgrade. They have the right to refuse it....which will have other consequences, but it's still within their right. The original product hasn't been removed from the user without their consent.

[hazelamy]

if you think the value in the game comes from a few pixels that represent a nipple, that says a lot about you.

funny how you demand changes to games when they have gay or trans content, but alter a few pixels to make some nipples less prominent and it's devaluing the game?

honestly, this is one of the most pathetic things i've ever seen from your joke of a site.

can you show me anywhere that somebody demanded the removal of Cammy's nipples?

because i can show plenty of examples of demands for removal of gay/trans content.

but that kind of censorship is okay right?
and you're not a total hypocrite?

[Fullmetalevolust]

Were videogames 20 to 10 years ago not sexualized? Did it impact the growth of any generation?
If anything oppression and censorship tend to have more negative effects that the idea of presenting sexuality in a video game.
I gather that our games have become closer to reality in terms of graphics but where's the study that proves that sexuality in games lead to terrible side effects on the minds of the youth or mature gamers?
You'll see nipples at the beach, at the grocery store, hell you see man nipples way too often (but who's complaining? lol)
Why do game designers have to censor their work if it's not creating any harm that can be evidenced?

[TGG_overlord]

I agree with you to 100%, and nowadays it seems like digital booty is much more dangerous than ISIS...

[Muzikguy]

Please don't use that horrible HORRIBLE term around here..... Digital booty 😁️

/s

[Deadpooled]

Lol 'digital booty' could give the New Day some new material to work with (although the current Wyatt family angle is great atm and has loads of potential)

[TGG_overlord]

***UPDATE 2***
It appears as if some Steam mods are locking and deleting SFV threads, which discuss SJW mentality and SFV self-censorship:

http://thegg.net/opinion-ed...

[Fierce Musashi]

.......The hell? Have these guys learned nothing from the Streisand Effect that helped fuel GamerGate in the first place? They cannot hide this. lol

[ARESWARLORD]

So stupid

[masterfox]

you monsters!!! I don't see the cut also :(

[ironpatriot357]

IDK how people cant see these companies are doing this on purpose

[khdaface]

Dear capcom, fix the faces not the nipples

[Jayszen]

What I find hypocritical is that feminists don't seem to mind that Capcom is censoring something that is natural and effectively disfiguring a female character in a game.

The game shows people getting beaten to a pulp but nipples must be censored. No wonder the world is as fucked as it is.

[Muzikguy]

Definitely

[Hoffmann]

Yup, it was the right decision to return the game 3 days after launch.

Capcom these days sucks. My money for fighting games this year goes to King of Fighters 14 and BlazBlue Central Friction

[trooper_]

Try Guilty Gear too.

[Hoffmann]

Have it already, Sign at least, I will get Revelator when its cheaper, the full-price is a bit too much for me right now

[trooper_]

Okay.

[rainslacker]

I'm kind of disappointed in how it released, but I still have hopes that it will become better through the DLC path they're using.

I have my CE copy because I'm a collector, but I'll hold off getting a copy to play until I feel the features get up to the point I want them at....and the censored things aren't really going to keep me away from a good game I want to play.....but they do annoy me that it's happening due to me preferring devs release their art the way they see fit. Capcom could have gotten two sales from me day one for the CE and a playable copy had they made a fully featured game. DLC getting it up to par, while OK since they aren't charging for it, still isn't what I'd consider an ideal way to release a game.

[Kallisti]

#FREETHENIPS

[Kreisen]

Im glad this game bombed.

[TGG_overlord]

***UPDATE 2***

We now have video footage of Cammy in SFV v1.04, and it sure looks like Capcom has censored Cammy´s nipples. It also appears as if some mods on Steam are locking and deleting SFV censorship threads as we speak:

http://thegg.net/opinion-ed...

[PhoenixUp]

I seriously wish these major publishers would show some backbone and stand by their art against these SJWs instead of bowing at their whim and making numerous changes to their games to appease anyone who gets easily triggered.

[KentBenMei]

I love SFV but this game needs to be boycotted.

[rainslacker]

Given the early sales, it would appear many people already have.

A lot of people still picked it up though, but certainly nowhere near what one would expect for a mainline SF release....especially one in a new generation.

Edit @ Below

Review scores and reasons people don' pick it up aren't mutually exclusive. Personally, I'm more interested in the SP stuff, as that's how I play more often than not. I like matches against people in the same room....which is avaiable...but still isn't my predominate way to play.

Not knocking the MP, because most people agree that it's solid, just that it's not a wrong reason if that reason is actually applicable to them.

The censorship so far hasn't been something I'd downrate for, it's just an annoyance that we have it happen. At least to me.

[KentBenMei]

Unfortunately I think that was for the wrong reasons; a lack of single player content, which shouldn't be an issue compared to the quality of the multiplayer gameplay. Modes and functions were sparse and unaccommodating but that shouldn't reflect much on a game focus on balanced, fun, multiplayer action. Maybe dock half a point for that. If it weren't for the censorship I'd rate the game an 8.5/10. -1 point for unimpressive graphics and -0.5 point for poor feature implementation. Censorship drops it to a 0.

[slappy508]

What a bunch of tits.

[sadsatan]

this is pathetic. stop censoring the human body, we all have nipples. i'm tempted to switch to the pc version so i can un-censor the game

[Yi-Long]

You want to buy the game again on PC and thus basically reward them with more money...!?

If anything, you should be demanding your money back for the butchered version they already sold you...

Another sad sad day in the history of gaming and senseless censorship. Absolutely ridiculous action by Capcom, but it seems that's the only thing they still excel in these days...

[sadsatan]

unfortunately i bought the digital version (ps4) so i can't get a refund :( this censorship thing is going too far :(

[Yi-Long]

@SadSatan: If you're in the EU I believe there's a law that says they aren't allowed to degrade a product you already bought, so perhaps you'd have a case if you demanded a refund.

If not, least you can do is go into the PS-Store and rate the game a 1-star (or whatever you feel it's worth now), and do the same on Metacritic, etc etc.

Capcom (as well as other companies/publishers) seems to be listening to a very small vocal minority, and if we don't want that to happen, and we don't want all our entertainment to be censored and butchered because of that vocal minority, we just need to come together and raise our voices much much louder.

Also, vote with your wallet. If Tokyo Mirage Sessions for WiiU is heavily censored: DON'T BUY IT! If someone asks you to recommend a fighting game, at leats tell them SF5 is censored (before pointing them towards the alternatives), etc etc.

[Yi-Long]

... so being against senseless censorship of our entertainment, in this case the ridiculous removal of 'nipples' (female nipples, cause the male characters are still showing theirs... open and proud...), somehow means the only reason is cause we're perverts...!?

Does that mean that whenever someone enjoys violence in their entertainment and opposes censorship of it, that they're automatically also sick disturbed individuals who would go around beating and shooting people up in real life...!?

[dotwithshoes]

Does the character not having nipples adversely affect, or down grade the quality of the game play? If it does, like I said before, you're the one with the problem.. not Capcom.

[rainslacker]

@Yi

Hmmm...I've heard that argument made before. What was that guys name. Jack Thompson wasn't it?

Ironic that the SJW arguments are basically the same as Thompson's arguments, just that the effects are different, and there are people out there who just think they're fighting the good fight instead of just seeing they're narrow minded, self serving moral bigots who wish to push their own agenda on everyone through lies and deceit using the most cursory of analogues with no real research to back up a single one of their arguments beyond their own feelings.

If these people were lawyers peddling these ideals, they'd be disbarred. But since they're just idiots on the internet, publishers listen to them and bow to their wishes. Quite the contrast in reactions between Thompson and SJW by publishers wouldn't you say? What kind of twisted logic ever brought about this major change compared to when Thompson was making the rounds? Oh yeah, the logic of the people who don't buy or consume games. Those that do buy and consume games and support these types of actions would have not been given an ounce of respect for their arguments, and I'd wager if they were around in Thompson's time, they probably were there thinking that he was an idiot.

So, lets lay it out. When Thompson was saying games called violence, the industry was proactive, and created the ESRB to assuage the fears of people who didn't want their kids playing violent games. The industry as a whole, and almost every major company which sold it's products, adhered to this standard with all the backing that it deserved. The industry itself was proactive in agreeing that their content required some sort of rating so the people they thought weren't mature enough to play a game, couldn't.

Now, you have SJW claiming objectification, and instead of the industry being proactive, they are being reactive by removing anything that may actually offend someone because the SJW are so much more credible. So, by the industries own created standards, instead of allowing those who can consume the content based on these standards, are not allowed to, because some people may not approve, or it may be considered inappropriate by some.

Heck, we can now remove the ESRB, because we have SJW to tell us what is appropriate for us to play. Congratulations game industry, you've allowed the SJW crowd show that that there is no need for the ESRB, because these people will be the gatekeepers of what is appropriate for all. Glad you don't have to pay those fees while applying for ratings anymore right?:) You've effectively allowed an outside group take over your affairs.

Gaming industry...you've come a long way baby. Too bad you were going the wrong direction while travelling. Gaming industry....you went from being proactive controlling your own affairs, to hiding away in the corner at the first sign of any dissent and throwing out bones to get the attention away from you as quickly as you could. But hey, at least you're still great at ignoring your actual customers on their wants and needs. Can't get that wrong now can you? Game industry, you went from making what you wanted, to making what others feel you should be making. Good on you!

Something to think about for those who wish to support censorship. The arguments are strikingly similar if one really dissects them into their base form. They take different strategies though. Thompson appealed to lawmakers, SJW appeal to people who are easily offended by any hint of scandal....regardless of if it has any merit.

@dot

i think you're the one with the problem, because you can't actually see the problem, and think this is about nipples instead of censorship.

[MasterCornholio]

Next stop give all the female fighters dresses and call it a day.

WOW

[Yi-Long]

I'm guessing the only way to really point out (no pun intended btw...) the sheer stupidity of censoring Cammy's nipples, is demanding they censor the male nipples and crotches as well.

Sagat, Zangief, Birdie.... why do we need to see those nipples, Capcom!? What kinda perverted game are you playing!? Unlike Cammy's, those nipples are actually out and about...

Anyway, it's absolutely ridiculous, and sadly not the first nor last time this will happen, to please a very vocal conservative minority in the West.

Are the Asian releases also censored/butchered btw?

[rainslacker]

Remove all those abs also. They objectify the male image into a form that is unobtainable to many....or at least many don't care to go through the work to obtain them....so they are making other males have to work harder to succeed in life as completely unrealistic expectations are placed upon us because everyone equates what should be based on a games character design.

[SaveFerris]

How dare they put a patch over Cammy's nips!

[Lordani66]

First it's the other female character's butt slap taunt, then it's not releasing DOAXtreme 3, then overall butthurtness over Tekken 7 bikini DLC tweet from creator, and now THIS? How much more are SJWs gonna f*** up gaming for us? Here we go with "liberal" leftist bs agenda!

[Yi-Long]

Why blame this on 'liberal leftists' when it's a conservative right group that pressures the industry into this direction? 'Liberals' and 'lefties' have never asked for censorship or (digital) slut-shaming, nor ever will.

It seems like you're more concerned to blame this on the 'left' than you are with actually pointing it at those responsible...

[Fierce Musashi]

Not this time, friend. This time it's the far left liberal "progressives" who are behind this latest attack on video games. They are the ones who want to censor the media via shaming certain content and labeling it "problematic". The Ultra Conservatives became laughing stocks over the years, and have been basically defeated. They have stopped being taken seriously for the most part a long ago. We aren't in the Jack Tompson and religious zealot era anymore. It's Anita What's-her-face, Kotaku, Polygon, feminist, SJWs, etc. ( who are far from the religious & ultra conservatives crowd ) who are making a big fuss over "representations" and "sexualization" in video games. They are the ones who will target content like this, currently.

Same method, different goals.

Harada (from Bamco) didn't have to apologize to "conservative SJWs", if that is even a thing. lol

[Chaos_Order]

Nope. I'm left wing, have been all my life and I'm still aware it is left wing liberal regressives who are taking us down this path of censorship. They are the ones who petitioned to get GTAV banned because it "promoted violence against women." They are the ones who wanted DOAX3 banned because of sexualisation. Conservatives aren't guilty in this instance.

[Lordani66]

Yi-Long, you will not tell me what is left and what is right, what is liberal and what is conservative. "Liberals" are only "liberal" when it comes down to certain ethnic groups, races, genders, minorities, etc. If it's anything pro white-christian-male - it's considered BAD to liberals. Also if anything is pro-feminine, it's also against liberals, because it's against feminazi (and feminazism is NOT pro-women, it's against femininity) and feminists are opened "liberals" (only by name, as stated before).

@Fierce Musashi
"The Ultra Conservatives became laughing stocks over the years, and have been basically defeated."
Agreed, but it's been already at least 20 years since that happened. Really it's WW1 and WW2 that opened doors for leftists to get into politics and flood our world like a cancer spreading around. They are (unfortunately) telling nowadays what is right and what is wrong, and thanks to them feminism, multi-culti, sjws, lgbt agenda were born (on top of many other cuckoldy abominations).

Yours truly,
conservative liberal

[smashman98]

Oh man can you feel the freedom of speech being stepped on. Those nipples were Yoshi Ono's. Artistic integrity. Wake up sheeple

[dotwithshoes]

Freedom of speech? You use buzzwords like sheeple and you don't understand freedom of speech? Who says you have freedom of speech?

[smashman98]

Lol I'm sorry this censorship thing makes me laugh I wasn't being serious like at all.

[dotwithshoes]

I deal with too many people who use buzzwords like that being serious, I can't discern sarcasm anymore.. it sucks.

[trooper_]

They censored nipples...?!

...-facepalm-

Even as a female gamer I find this stupid.

[ONESHOTV2]

#freethenipples it's a good thing there are modder out there that is willing to restore these censored patches

[Psychotica]

Oh no, they are removing nipples from a cartoon..

[IanTH]

I know right!? First the digital pokies, then who knows...next on the block could be our freedom! I never knew we were one anti-nip away from complete civil collapse!!!

Maybe Cammie decided her digital nips were chaffing too much and she put little covers over them. #realism. Come on guys, save the outrage for the times outrage is truly warranted. And for what it is worth I am a man...and I like boobs...and nipples. But pokies in a videogame aren't needed. Having them adds nothing. Removing them detracts from nothing. I can't imagine why this would rile anyone up. I can see perhaps tepid bemusement at either their inclusion or exclusion...

If you are telling people it is no big deal that they are included but turn around and make a big stink when they are no longer included...just seems like you think it's only NBD deal when things line up with your preference. Nipples are natural. They exist. I agree. Pokies? Pokies are rare, you don't see pokies on every woman, every day. It doesn't go against nature. It doesn't break immersion. And if it does, then I'm sorry for you and your awkward, sad boner.

[smashman98]

Lol isn't it absolutely hilarious

[xtheblackparade]

Does anyone wonder how this can happen? I rarely encounter anyone on gaming sites/forums who actually wants censorship. What's up with that?

[Surt]

So where are the "free the nipple" activists? Your SJW friends betrayed you.

[Corgyll]

I'm glad I traded in this game and bought a porno instead. How else am I going to get off?
Gimme my sex back!

[Surt]

Wonder if you traded back Mortal Kombat, GTA 5, The Witcher as well?

[Corgyll]

I was actually sarcastic. People are really overreacting to a pair of nipples and, more dangerously, not understanding why oversexualizing women might be harmful.

[CrimsonWing69]

Seriously how do we reverse this? If a small group of individuals can get their ideology and agenda across an industry how do we do the same? I mean sure in the grand scope of things this is petty but man it irritates me to know end.

[PFFT]

Sounds like a job done by the Beta males and Pansies. Stupid Capcom listening to these people.

[GrimDragon]

Nipless tits are hot. Now if they make her flat chested we have a problem.

[yeahright2]

I think the SJWs are reaching too far. Now they're starting to have the opposite effect. It's not about equality or fighting oppression anymore, now it's about everybody reshaping their thinking to fit inside the SJW approved box.
Sad, they started off fighting oppression of women and minorities and now they're the one oppressing creative expression.

[2cents]

I don't normally comment on these types of articles but this is really lame.

Pushing things a little too far. In fighting games men are almost always showing skin, even bare nipples. This is really becoming a nuisance. Fighting games are all about celebrating the human form, insanely strong and developed bodies, sexuality, strength and dexterity.

To chop her nipples off is just wrong.

[Chris_Wray]

Well, I've watched all the comparison videos and honestly, they're barely noticable. Honestly, I can't really understand the furore. The slight shading on her breasts were integral to the game now?

At the same time, i can't understand Capcom patching them out. But the outrage that they did, that's even less understandable. Also, the argument by some that it's somehow a downgrade is preposterous. The game hasn't been downgraded. Then again, it wont bother me when I'm playing it.

[Wolfgang187]

Too bad I can't show my anger at this move by un-buying this game. Next time Capcom makes a game tho...

[rye74]

1.05 patch Cammy in a Burqa

[Kratos0289]

One day I hope to see a developer with a spine tells these social justice goons to f**k off (censorship on this site needs to go too)

[feraldrgn]

How can nipples be offensive when there's a whole movement about "free the nipple"?

[Corgyll]

Because one's for entertainment in an industry dominated by men, and one is a movement for women being able to show what they want.

Games just can't understand that.

[Xavior_Reigns]

At this point God himself should censor reality... I seriously cant wait till shit hits the fan. Beyond sick and tired of weak pitiful humans being super sensitive to everything.

[Javsp]

Nipplexit.

[DillyDilly]

I guess the mommys are whining again ? After all the stupid mommys are why Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 is not coming 2 the US the crying whining mommy bitches

[Kocurstvo]

Please, dont do games with human! From now on, we only would like to play as antisexual robots like hoovers, mixers, coffee machines etc...

[ibrake4naps]

I was gunna buy this, but no nips / no buy...

[LoveSpuds]

As daft as the decision to remove the nipples was, it seems just as crazy to actually get worked up into a frezy about it....talk about 1st world problems!

[WheatBread]

Extreme violence in video games is good, but showing nipples is bad?

[InTheZoneAC]

just came here to read all the butt hurt comments. Never did understand why people complain when a dev chooses to make their games a certain way. The people complaining are simply contradicting themselves.

[NotEvenMyFinalForm]

They are changing it due to outside pressure from certain group that claims to play games but don't play any. Example: http://thegg.net/opinion-ed...

[InTheZoneAC]

I really doubt a company is going to change their game for some people that didn't buy their products or ever plan to.

[Nathan_Hale53]

They didn't choose, as much as were harassed and spammed. Games are a type of art and censoring it, is a problem.

[jeenyus]

I am offended by the lack of nipples. Now what?

[Capps2020]

This is such an adorable little thread!!!

Ultra-sensitive man-children moaning over the loss of visible nipples on a character in a game.

Honestly pathetic

Capcom is a business. Businesses want to make money. Businesses make money by appealing to their audience. If their audience, by majority, is in favor of the changing of a design, that's good.

Have I made this simple enough?

These thing are changing because Capcom thinks they'll be viewed as a net positive in their consumer base, and they may very well be right.

It's not censorship you drooling morons, it's their fucking choice, it's their game. George Lucus didn't censor the original Star Wars movies by changing them.

Now can you all just, you know, fuck off?

[Surt]

Calls everyone sensitive but at same time you betray yourself as a care bear. lol

[Capps2020]

You're whining about a lack of nipples in a game.

I'm whining about stupid people putting their stupid opinions on the Internet

See the difference?

[Nathan_Hale53]

By the looks of it, the changes anger the majority, it is a vocal minority that harasses the company to remove such a small thing. People are speaking out because censoring something small over many games can build into a larger scale. You assuming that 'man-children' getting boners off this game is the reason why they are bitching, when it is the fact that the company removed something so trivial. It is a representation of a woman and I can't think of a time when women in leotards don't have their nipples sticking out. It wasn't the original design and they are catering to whiners, who more than likely don't play their game.

[Capps2020]

What I don't understand is where people get the idea that this is a "vocal minority"

It's bullshit. No one in this thread has the knowledge to claim something like that. It's arrogant and silly

[Fierce Musashi]

"I'm whining about stupid people putting their stupid opinions on the Internet"

One could say the same for your opinions. After all, to alter your own content out of fear, or deference to, the sensibilities or preferences (actual or perceived) of others and without overt pressure from any specific party or institution of authority is the DEFINITION of self-censorship. Yet here you are trying to tell us otherwise?

And how exactly would non-nude nipples make them be viewed as any less positive to their consumer base, who haven't even complained about in the first place?

[Capps2020]

Are you trying to tell me a company changing a product out of the pressure of a consumer base is bad?

[Fierce Musashi]

That's the thing though, there was NO pressure from their consumer base to begin with. The same with R. Mika's censorship. And yes, it is bad in the context of the original artistic vision being changed because they think it may offend someone or someone claims to be offended. As with many people who discuss anti-censorship in gaming have realized, it will set a bad precedent in the future. First it's nipples, then it's something more significant, and the ball will just keep on rolling. Try to see the bigger picture of why this is a problem.

When it's, for example, bs like the way DLC has been handled in this industry as of late, then yes, they should change it when it's screwing over their consumer base and they receive pressure for it. The reason this example is different is because it has nothing to do with the ARTISTIC vision of the developer/publisher, and has everything to do with them squeezing out more coin from their consumer base at their expense (Injustice 2's "aggressive DLC plans").

[blackblades]

Shut hell up, it's about complaining about taking away something that shouldn't even need to be taking out in the 1st place. What's next that they going to take out?

[PaleMoonDeath]

Seriously, where are the men at that damn company??

[finite]

Nothing wrong TBH many girls use Bra padding to hide their nipples, guess Cammy is pissed off with all the gamers only caring about her nipples and not her fighting style.

[sampson3121]

my question is, WHY THE F--K DO YOU CARE? do you turn on a game and feel offended that nipples aren't on a character? this is what bothers you in this F-cked up world?

As a matter of fact, you all seem a bit sensitive when it comes to such nonsense. you're all being hypocrites no?

[Surt]

Your in a GAMING site bemoaning gamers about caring about their hobby's more then what you would view as pressing concerns. This isn't polygon. Or Tumblr. Your really surprised?

You don't see peta going onto hunting sites putting in their two cents as to why vegan dishes are better the venison. (they are not)

[zaherdab]

it's to improve performance ... less polygons!
It's also to improve balancing ... nipples are an additional distraction to the opposing player that might cause him to lose the match unfairly !

[MajorTom11]

Thank god you specified 'breast nipples', I thought for a second they got rid of the hand-nipples.

[etebitan]

wonder what the feminazis and SJW would do if from now on I complain and claim to be offended by the women on the street who has nipples that shows.. Ill tell them to cover up cause having hard nipples is sexist and offensive... =/

[frostypants]

The only thing sillier than censoring something so minor is being outraged over the censorship of something so minor. "ZOMG THEY TRRK ER NIPPLES ERWAY!!!!"
It's called pornhub, kids.

[sampson3121]

lol

[sephiroth420]

wow why is this even news? do people really care?

[sampson3121]

sadly yes

[Tzuno]

It was because in japan a tournament was ended by severe controller problem, the contestants had the wrong fighting stick in their hands :)

[MilkMan]

Stupid. I hate this generation where every little freaking thing is a disturbance.

[sampson3121]

i know. why people would cry about nipples being removed from a video game is pathetic. who cares.

[iliimaster]

man this is getting dumb even in tomb raider they have SEVEN burly man coats 1 tanktop and 2 long sleeves? why even bother with adding woman to video games only to make them manly females all butch

[sampson3121]

i find it funny that most of the comments are from people complaining that others are too sensitive.
perhaps it's you that are the sensitive ones.
you really care that much whether or not a character in a video game keeps her nipples? look in the mirror next time you talk about being overly sensitive when a non issue arises. Hypocrites all! :)

[kaiserxblue]

SO you are gonna make a whole new drama about censorship because there is no nipples huh? Tell me how it that gonna ruin the gaming experience, will the character be less because viable because there is no nipples? Man if you really desperate go outside and get laid or go to porn site and fap there, *sigh* this is why I have no faith "the gamer community" as they claim to be...bunch of sad cases right there.

[Surt]

Complains about the "gamer community" on a gaming site. You thought this was the mary sue site? But man all the SJW complaining about those complaining, but at the same time betraying themselves as to what they are. lol

I get at why those would be upset at that PC bases of why it was removed, which would run the same lines as those that would be upset that a comedian was forced to apologize for making one joke that some didn't like.

Unlike some I appreciate the defensiveness gamer have to what is their hobbies. Just a with any other hobbies. (sports, ext)

They have tighten down against the obvious pandering and agenda pushing that has pervaded in every other "nerd" medium. So one can't tell em to relax and not swing with a hammer at anything that might be PC.

[kaiserxblue]

Well for starters I'm a gamer, I play games not pixels, At the end of the day you are not gonna be watching tits and asses more than 1 min. because that's not why you bought the game in the first place. Like I said in my previous comment. things like this will not change my perception of the game or the experience I had with it.

I'm just being serious about the whole controversy. It's saddens me that the IQ of modern gamers or their priorities is reduced to something so insignificant overall.

[FullmetalRoyale]

Nipples are necessary to nurture a newborn child. Next, they should take out her eyes, after all, who needs to see? And if we ALL didn't have eyesight, we couldn't see the nipples.
...Couldn't have happened to a better fictional, polygonal character..

[Avalanche]

good, this isnt "Dead or Alive"

[Ironthighs]

.

[CobraKai]

RIP so young, so perky.

[Aquacure]

No nipples? Will someone please think of the children?!

[opinionated]

Pathetic. So much for the Japanese being at the forefront of "fuck your crybaby feelings". They are worse than western devs now.

[SuperbVillain]

soooo gay

[YourSavior]

Complaining over virtual nipples? Get a life.

[gangsta_red]

Does anyone else find it strange that Bison created Cammy in order to transfer his spirit into her body?

Maybe that is why Capcom took out the nips.

[Ogygian]

We need to get angry. We need to complain. We need to be relentless in our criticism of companies which pander to SJWs.

These are the tactics they they use, and they are our only hope for defeating them. We are living in the age where the Tweet is mightier than the pen.

This will only get worse if we let it slide.

[SynestheticRoar]

What the hell Crapcom. I paid for the nips. Why you take them away. I need those nipples like a baby needs milk. lol.

[Zabatsu]

Maybe they taped the nipples to avoid the classic bloddy nipple when excesive friction is caused? /s

[hirobrotagonist]

And thus begins the decline of western civilization!

[xano]

Nipples aren't cool but Cammy Camel Toe is okay

[Brohan]

So they prefer not to have a human resemblance for their game characters

[Bass_fisherman]

Its just pixels folks whats all the fuzz

[Germany7]

Pathetic, SJW's and journalists are happy with that.

[Valkron1]

Dang. When I read that her nipples were covered with a patch I thought they meant pasties :(

[thejigisup]

funny how both alex and zangeif(among others) havent had their nipples removed smh

[jokerisalive]

Talk about caving in under pressure......let me guess someone's feelings were hurt when they realized a video game girl was hotter than them. Talk about self conscious. Pathetic.

[ArmoredCoreVI]

thanks anita sSarkeesian

[ParanoidFreak]

Hysterical/Uninformed Feminazis & SJWs who will never touch this game: "Ewwwww... boobies. Nope, having none of that. Because. Because I said so."

Capcom/Ono: "Yes, yes SJW. Whatever you say. Bend over? Suuuure. May I have another?"

[hangdang]

you nerds know you can see real tits on the internet right? This dude is pretty upset about not seeing some fake nipples, as if it makes a difference at all.

[Max-Zorin]

Smh

[ZeroToleranceX]

Censorship or a correction in bad character design?

[jaycptza]

Why is this guy making a big deal over this?
