Censorship Ruining Lost Ark's Art Style

Calling these minor changes “censorship” and comparing it to China? That’s about as ridiculous as you cant get. What a farce this discussion is on your end. How is choosing the translation “rapport” instead of “affinity” censoring anything? Seriosuly dude, get real here.

It’s funny because games with a lot of fashion customization tend to have much larger female player bases than games without. Look at FFXIV, plenty of “sexy” outfits, even RP brothels and the playerbase is probably close to 50/50 male/female.

Puritans are all “think about the women” while most women want these outfits as they are and we know that because they play games that allow it more

I think you responded to the wrong post xD

This!

They literally did this in the loading screen too, it looks horrible you can see the leotard and garter belt clip through the ‘’ pants ‘’.
They just went in and painted the skin bellow the neck black it looks horrible and very clearly censored…
It’s like wearing the original costume outside another one it’s just lazily done and it’s the actual loading screen…

I don’t understand why they didn’t just use another costume instead of manually going in and putting resources into censoring a skin like this -_-.
It’s just really poorly done too…

Just why omg, are they going to censor every skin in this game? we wont have any skin at all if they censor, ppl who were looking forward for those sexy skins on the other versions wont buy at all any censor version of the same skin, this doesnt make any sense

they won’t, because objectifying men is and has always been perfectly fine. Heck in my over 40 years of life i’ve witnessed women objectifying men just as much as the other way around, if not more so. We all do it, for some reason society just decided that men should take the blame for it while women get a free pass, instead of admitting that we as a species are incredibly superficial in general and across all aspects of life.

@Roxx statement why the “146895” topic got removed? It included valuable and good feedback Is it because of the comments about Twitch “rules” that are in conflict of the ridiculous censorship in the game?

To everyone with the nonsense “Go watch porn” type replies.

It is not about booba. It is about censorship. Censorship is a slippery slope. When you allow governments and corporations to dictate what can and can’t be seen, what can and can’t be said…That’s when you end up with Authoritarian Nazi Dictatorships. This has been proven through history a hundred times over. Learn your fucking lesson and stop pretending censorship isn’t a big deal.

I don’t know who is in charge of this part - amazon or smilegate, but you guys are dropping the ball. I couldn’t even say the phrase, I forget what it was, but it was like ‘Yo bro’ without automated censorship preventing me from posting the message, and it was regarding t3 honing rates at 1385. I get that you might want to censor SOME things, such as hard R, but you’re gonna lose players if you keep being so overzealous. Can’t even say the word Ukraine? Are you people insane? What’s the purpose in having a chat if you can’t even talk about world events without getting censored? This is a NA release. Respect American principles such as freedom of speech. You’re just another example of what’s wrong with the internet nowadays.

I think that’s very nasty. It had many pretty pictures and work be put into…

I don’t think they have to comply to the community, but threads with all that effort should not be deleted… Will make people not come here. Which is really bad and sad.

But you can still find Videos talking about the thread and going through most of it, for your interest :slight_smile:

I actually did know that, I just assumed it was covered up like many of the other skins. I try to search the skins on other regions, but a lot of times I get poor results. Thank you for educating me on this particular skin =)

do you know this site?

I’m against censorship too. I’m not exactly an art connoisseur, but I like the game to be as organic as possible, so that I can experience the authentic version while being able to understand what’s going. Censorship can intentionally or unintentionally appear through sounds, visual, and even localization. From my perspective, an anology for this would be like news altered or censored on television to only show us what they want us to see or hear. Probably not good to be accepting of that regardless if we are fine with the specific censoring.

Also OP, in your example at least share a before and after image so that we can see what’s being censored…

Edit: In case others misunderstand, I don’t think minor censorship will ruin the game. I just don’t support it.
