I'll try to keep this brief. 

 

This is part of a bigger problem.

Seen here. https://www.change.org/p/sony-towards-sony-their-new-policies

 

 

 

 

 

We demand the uncensorship of the following. The Lady Luck Jacket

 

We demand the uncensorship of the Posters. none of which are obscene. suggestive but not even close to pornographic. 

 

The people making and cheerig these changes. they are not consumers. You'd think trying to appease people who don't play your games would be seen as the lose lose game that it is. 

 

IN the interest of women's rights, to fight against benevolent sexism, to fight FOR human free expression, and to protect legally protected speech. We stand against the bowdlerizing and the censorship That Aspyr, Crystal Dynamics and Embracer group have engaged in against consumers. 

A bait and switch affair. 

It is unknown that if the pinups were removed because of Sony's very censorial policies or MasterCard / Visa / Paypal / American Express' vile restrictive and practices such as barring certain people and entities and legal content from sale. It all started with a dishonest OP-ED.

It could also be to conform with the censorship laws of China, Germany and Australia. Some of the worst offenders when it comes to games and free expression.

See DLSITE and the P*rnhub debacle. and the bad laws of Sesta and Fosta that don't protect people from exploitation. 

Still there is nothing obscene or illegal. the game is already rated mature. 

 

Other games of m rated nature have explicit nudity and even scenes of intimacy of minors like in the game Life is Strange 2.

It's benevolent sexism and benevolent racism if we count the disclaimer. 

 

 

 

This is "she should cover herself properly" from an ISIS member. 

Same thing here. one is wearing nothing at all. Aphrodite is not androgynous. Sites like The Gamer are praising hades and not the other. it's so strange. It's a double standard and therefore dishonest. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do they mean power over her? people are having power over her by telling her to cover up. protecting the virtue of a virtual woman that's not theirs to protect.
