I kinda didnt know where to put this - its also a bit of a "mature/adult" topic (i would say) and since it also effects me in some kinda way of, well, "my stuff" im doing, I Had to go on with this To understand what im talking about, go and watch this.
You see, As much as of course this "is" a...well, "that" kind of channel, hes basically right in the core here. Its nowadays more and more teasing or original designs from female (AND male) characters - mostly even the one unintented - are nowdays getting a problem, not just because people begin to get prude but also seem like way to easy offended by a slight sight of boob or similar.
The video shown some good samples, infact, the changes look not "bad" but looking at the original literally next to it, it looks really off and not. Of course, not bad - i mean at least they "didnt cut off her boobs" like in the latest Series (yes, remember i made a post about it already back in the day as well: https://www.deviantart.com/watheanum/art/Thanks-sociali... ) but again, it looks like "slighty weird".
Most noticable - her suit pulled up in the back. Yes, im not really talking here "only" about the change to basically "put HER "bags" up in a plastic bag" but more about the really...REALLY weird change about the back of her suit.
...Rouge...is a bat. She "has" to have a bit of an open back. Now i give you a minute here to fffffffucking think about it "why", i gave you SOME hint there.
She, has FREAKING WINGS. Srsly, The change "had" to be done for the "nowadays standart" but i have to say, yes, it looks off, it looks bad, it clips, it looks like someone tried to put a bandage on a deeper fleshwound, IT DOESNT FIT. IT SHOULDNT BE. EVERYONE can see its cliping BADLY for srsly whatever reason.
Also in the middle of the video, the interview there had ONE great line which stood out for me which is really freaking right:
"Its like an absolute god... An evil disguised as good" and yes, thats how it really feels. It feels like people try to force their ideals on other people now - and yes, i mean by force.
Everyone has a different standard and even i sure complain about other peoples, what they are doing and stuff like, BUT -
You cant FORCE them to change them only because its YOUR change of habit. A sample for that: Im from germany. We eat our foods mostly with either spoons, knifes and, of course, a fork. Now going forward, let me travel to an asia place, let it be china or japan, you know, something that area. People there, to my knowledge, mostly ear their food with sticks, right? So there, im a guest of the land, so i should try to take over THEIR habits right? I mean sure, as guest, i might can also ask for a fork BUT i cant force them to eat now their food with forks as well ONLY because of me, right?
Right~?
The other thing was also about the violence-factor in games and since, again, im from germany, oh boy do i have some GREAT samples for that! Like years ago, maybe the name "Postal 2" rings a bell. If not, here a steam trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWJOXuqVcAc
Back in he day (and STILL up to this day), this game in germany is FULLY B A N N E D here. It counts as one of the most violent games out there with not just over-the-top violence but also is basically really humiliating in many MANY cases. You cant official get it ANYWHERE in germany - up to this day, its fully banned. Not promoted anywhere - even on steam, if youre from germany, its blocked in the country.
How lets go some years forward... Gears of War 1. Im sure some more people know about this game since its even up to this day a pretty well known series - but at the beginning... Yep, again, germany and their rules striked again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgGcYRuihWs
It was not "as hard as" Postals 2 fade but "BASICALLY" similar: It was not compliedly banned but also could NOT be advertised and ONLY be sold "behind counters" - which means you HAD to personally A S K for it. But hears the deal: Even if you COULD "somehow" get the game and the stores "DID" sell it to you, it was STILL a "EU-CUTTED" version, NOT the 100% original uncutted one. So it got no real name in germany till actually part 3 was out here.
And here comes EVERYONE who complains now about a little bit of bat boob or similar. Srsly, i already made a similar post back in the day and it went already so far with fictional AND non-fictional (real) characters which either had a change like Lola bunny, got banned like jessica rabbit or literally cut out from the reboot like minerva mink.
Srsly, do you guys think thats normal nowadays? No. No, its not.
Back in the day, the differ here in EU and USA was mostly the Violence and sexual stuff from all things. Here in germany, as sample, we were a bit more open about "sensual" and "sexual teasefull" ("classy") stuff wile of course, violence was basically a no go. USA? the total differ. There could basically be blood everywhere but as soon as you "MIGHT" see a little bit of boobs, BAM, it will get 18+ listed.
Youre not believing me?
I have only ONE thing to say about if youre old enough, else try to google it and than you might just have to nod in agreement with me here compliedly and can just shake your head about how stud, stubborn and prude our snowflakes just become over the last years - and again, if you dont know it, google it.
I watched the first video you linked to and I agree with the Japanese lady who basically said they're fictional characters and asked why we in America seem to be bothered by fiction, i.e. not real, characters. I also agree with the puppet character who said, we can kill, behead, disembowel, and other gory things in a video game but we can't show any boobs or bare backs. I'm no fan of the Sonic franchise, I couldn't even swear who's in it (other than Sonic and Sally) but I'm really getting tired of all these Puritanical people trying to tell me what I can and can't watch based on how they feel about it.

glad you understand the point here. its not "just" about a pair of, well, bat boobs, i mean i think the video and i did some great samples - though, if you might have time you "MIGHT" should at least get a view mins in into my linked videos so you understand more "what" im talking about at the end part there.
still glad you got the point though =3

Personally, I always treat characters like a t.v. .... don't like a character? change the channel. *shrugs* I always found it ridiculous how some people want to force other people to make their characters how the initial person wants instead of just, "I don't like that character, lets find something else I do like!"
I used to be a huge star wars fan. ^_^ Now it's just boring, I stopped watching. lol. simple.
