/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Because there's nothing sexual about children.

Because MG doesn't care about releasing on Steam.

>>8534136
Did Steam have anything to do with it though?

>>8534131
We're in agreement.

But that wasn't the question.

>>8534163
Oh. Well I don't know. Different group, maybe?
I just wanted to troll, leave me alone ;_;

>Hey, I just wanna go ahead and clarify something.

>We are a legitimate translation company that respects both the source material we work from and our audiences. We choose games to localize because we believe they are high in quality and deserving of success. We do NOT choose based on 'oh hey hot and smexy wittle girls', despite what some reprobates may say about Recettear and Fortune Summoners.

>I am aware there is a technical difference between 'lolicon' and pedophilia. I am aware one and the other are not the same. However, the attitudes expressed towards children by the former, frankly, horrify and disgust me. The sexual abuse of children is one of society's most horrifying perversions, and can do horrendous damage to the completely defenseless, ruining people's chances at life before they ever even begun.

>I am aware the term is used generally by otaku to refer to little girls, but anyone I see using the term 'lolis' for ANY reason will be asked to take a seven-day vacation from posting on our forums.

>That is all. I hope I never need to make this point again.

>>8534225
get a load of this quoted nerd

that's it time to pirate shit

Did you hear? CF is localizing the Venus de Milo! Here's a picture.

>>8534225
Why the fuck does /a/ discuss VNs? Why do even groups post there instead of here? Kind of makes /jp/ superfluous given the whole reason it was created.

>>8534246
But that's ART!
Where "ART" means "over a hundred years old."

>>8534249
Because after more VNs got translated /a/ realized that they might actually be kinda cool and started regretting the split. There's even VN threads on /v/ now.

>>8534225
Time to stop buying anything off them then.

>>8534246
I'm sure there are many pictures of young actresses in low-cut dresses that one could shop towels onto if they had the photoshop skills that I lack.
>>8534127
Anyone have the pic comparing the edited FS to the original? I forgot to save it last time.

>Carpe Fulgur
They seemed like cool guys before Recettear was released.

Why did they have to turn into a bunch of faggots?

>>8534262
>I forgot to save it last time.
Foolz archives images.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out that Warosu does not.

>>8534395
Thanks. What really gets my goat about this censorship is that those faggots kept completely quiet about it. At least JAST announced when they made changes to their games, and their reasons were legally understandable even if most would disagree with them.

But this? It's something those dickheads decided to do autonomously without any outside interference just because they're hypocritical little moralfags. I'm just glad I learned of this before I gave them any of my money.

What game is that in OP?

>>8534225

Lol. This is how those pieces of shit thank you for the money and trust you gave them. Expect more pointless censorship and bullshit restrictions in the future.

>>8534456
http://erogedownload.com/downloads/koihime-musou/

Recettear was mediocre anyway, I don't know why it got so much attention.

>>8534424
>At least JAST announced when they made changes to their games

JAST was silent well until the entire VN community started bitching about censorship. Our community isn't afraid of naked little girls, and companies that seek to cater to us shouldn't be afraid too.

But the situation with Carpe Fulgur is a bit different. They are in it for the money, it is very obvious. And they cater to a large group of borderline normals. And those borderline normals have an image to keep (or so they believe). They don't tell their friends that they buy stuff like Fortune Summoners because they enjoy the hell out of cute games, they tell them they bought it "to see what those weeaboos were drooling about, just for fun, the game is shit, wasted my money, wanna play hat fortress this weekend?"
As long as their target group doesn't change we are going to see more examples of weird censorship.

Not a single bath towel in sight. Gotta give MG credit for never censoring their releases.

>>8534496

>I don't know why it got so much attention.

Stealth marketing team.

>>8534511
Indeed. Those viral marketers know how to tug on /a/'s fapstrings. Good thing /jp/ is smarter than that.

Speaking of otaku culture, have you guys checked out the LeetStreet Boys? They're hilariously great!

>>8534395
I really hate moralfags. How could ANYONE be offended by that?

>>8534502

I don't think anyone can fap to Higurashi art anyway.

>>8534550
Eh, the vagina looks okay at least. Was that censored in the Japanese release?

>>8534136
Because MangaGamers members aren't all coming from SomethingAwful forum.

>>8534570
>SomethingAwful forum
That place is fucking scary.

>>8534576

Example?

>>8534570
What's with SA anyway? They seemed to treat the anime = pedo thing as a joke (except the actual pedo threads which were like ban honeypots) yet they'll outright condemn things like RapeLay.
I know it's not a hivemind entity but where the HELL does their community stand?

>>8534395
who the fuck wears a towel while in water?

>>8534580

Month long ban for asking if something was acceptable to post or not.

>>8534581
You will literally get banned for admitting you like Strike Witches. No really.

>>8534580
In SA, if you like anything related to underaged anime girl you will be perm banned for being a "pedophile". They also brand most anime as "pedoshit". The CF guys are known for making a review on CCS calling it pedoshit or something and that anyone watching it should be jailed and raped by fat black men.

So why the fuck are SA localizing loli games? It's like the KKK releasing a rap album.

>>8534576
Obviously lots of places will ban people for posting Comic LO pages or something, but SA is the only place where I've seen an inquisition thread where people discussed "suspicious comments/behavior" in users' posts, and debated whether particular "suspects" should be declared "confirmed pedos" and "purged."
On most boards it's the sort of thing that would be talked about as a joke but on SA it was srs bizns.

People there actually take the time to try and hunt down users who they think are pedophiles (at least "pedophile" in the SA meaning of the word, which is just about everyone).

Here's an example, I'm assuming this is the same Moogy that we all know and love/hate:

>>8534696

A long ass time ago, it was really the only large "entertainment" website not infested with kids (and back then membership was free). Of course its relevance has long since faded. Anyone who pays for an account nowadays is straight up retarded.

loli is wrong guys

for example 10 girls were raped irl to create tihs pitcure

SA lost all my respect when the owner lowtax got the shit beaten out of him by uwe boll in a boxing match.

>>8534781

>>8534820

>>8534839

Yep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3M_wGfYewo

ITT: Lolicons mad that SA thinks the same of them as it does of furries.

>>8534843

That's a cool stunt regardless of what you think of his movies.

>>8534849

Get out CF devs.

SA does not hate (non-lolicon) anime, it even has an anime subforum.
it's just that outside of ADTRW any mention of anime becomes a dick waving contest to determine who hates anime the most and is thus TOTALLY NOT a pedophile.

>>8534843
Jesus. Dude got dicked on. And I always thought you pronouned Uwe as "Yew"."oooweh" threw me for a loop.

>>8534875

ADTRW is fucking retarded. They all boast about liking "manly" anime and hating moe, and any attempt at discussing any show that isn't straight up shonen shit or mecha or whatever will get you banned. Let's not even begin to mention what pieces of shit the mods are. It's indescribable, and all I can say is, stay the hell off of SA. It's a worthless obscure joke of a website nowadays. If you really want a plethora of reasons to hate normalfags though, go ahead and read through some threads.

>>8534781
Was that "10 girls were raped irl to create tihs pitcure" when Rune drew the original, or are 10 girls raped every time it is "created" when someone loads that image in their browser, downloads it, etc?

i dont see how anybody can hate loli. look how cute they are!

>>8534891
I've been a goon since 2005, and you're mostly right. I still go mainly for the Let's Play subforum and YOSPOS.

>>8534891
The same could be said of us, though. An old internet meme factory that became largely irrelevant--a shell of its former self. Granted, that applies more to /b/ than the rest of the site, but I don't feel like finding where moot quoted how /b/ is some large percentage of the site's total traffic, despite how terrible it is.

>>8534909
I really liked YTMND back in the day.

>>8534652
I hope everyone in that thread dies soon.
Why do they care about other people hobbies? these "pedophiles" are not hurting anyone. They're hunting down and judging everyone who likes different things and does not think like they do... they are the scum of the earth, filthy maggots unworthy of the air they breathe. I can't take it easy when bigots like that exist. What kind of crime is having a shrinemaiden.org account?? that's unbelievable.
CF supports this shit? I wish I could return my Recettear copy. Not only am I going to pirate every fucking CF game and enjoy it, I'm going to boycott every fucking sale I can out of them. Blergh, I can't hold my disgust.

>>8534909

While that may be true, 4chan is loads more popular than SA has been these past few years, and at the very least 4chan doesn't have the audacity to demand you pay $10 for an account and then have a mod ban you because you said something they didn't like. Not to mention, there's a vastly greater amount of freedom of speech on 4chan. All SA had going for it in the past was the large amount of OC created by the users, but 4chan has far surpassed it there, too.

>>8534919

That's an old archived Helldump thread. Basically even they realized shit like this was a bit too much so Helldump was closed down. It doesn't really mean SA is better now or anything, they just don't endorse internet detectiving officially anymore.

>>8534891
This. ADTRW was always a sort of, "Fine, we'll give you guys a board, I guess..." forum. Even Raspberry Heaven admitted that it became too immersed in faggotry, which is why 4chan reigns supreme.

>>8534906
>I've been a goon since 2005, and you're mostly right. I still go mainly for the Let's Play subforum and YOSPOS.
Reading about boatmurdered was hilarious, I have to give them credit for that.

>>8534677
>>What the fuck is wrong with these people.

They're nerds who are not yet comfortable with the fact that they're nerds. For the younger anime fans (or people generally new to otaku media) this is pretty hard to digest. So they compensate by trolling other nerds.

Words like "moeshit" were mostly born out of insecurity. I should know because I hit that stage too before when I was babby.

>>8534921
To be fair, low moderation and no entry fee means that there's a lot of stupid shit on 4chan as well. I'm sure there's a lot of decent discussion and whatnot, but holy shit do you really have to dig through a load of crap and deal with a bunch of shitposting trolls to get to it.

>>8534936
Seconded. Something Awful creates good content--particularly Let's Plays--but the forum/community/staff itself is pretty sucky.
Though all the NetHack/DF/whatever stuff could take place on /tg/ and it'd just be the same. I don't see what they see in SA. e-penis, perhaps.

>>8534936
The Princess Maker 2 LP was also pretty great

>>8534919
>Not only am I going to pirate every fucking CF game and enjoy it

Who would pirate CF games in the future when they could just download them right this second and play them? I seriously hope people don't think CF's games are newish and not many years old.

>>8534944

>They're nerds who are not yet comfortable with the fact that they're nerds.

This is a whole lot of psycho babble. Try using citable facts and logic next time.

>Words like "moeshit" were mostly born out of insecurity.

Or maybe it was coined to accurately describe vapid shows with a cast of mentally handicapped girls who pander to subhumans.

Rumours have it that the new df update is coming soon. Do you think there'd be a reasonable chance of setting up a /tg/ succession game when it does? It's something I'd like to try taking part in.

>>8535062
The next step then is localize White ~Blanche comme le lune~

Then when they're comfortable with admitting the main heroines are 9 and 10 years old BAM, localize Sakuranbo Shougakkou

>>8534986
It's funny because grown Japanese men have been writing manga about little girls since the 1950's. Younger nerds (especially the ones in /a/ and SA) tend to forget this and compensate by being obsessed with the "manly" Japanese cartoons.

Why are we talking about some retarded site people actually pay to act like retards in. If your posting on a fucking form,your a nerd, these people are fucking in denial. hopefully at least the userbases on 4chan understand who they are.

you have been here I hope for a decent amount of time, the amount of HURR I WATCH THIS PORN IRONICALLY is not non trivial here nor in some [our] nerd communities!

I am offering to let him come back and explain himself before his peers. His obsession with themes related to sex acts involving minors whether it pertains to hentai or sexual fantasies earned him this. That is pretty obvious.

I won't accuse you of white-knighting him (though you very well may be which I really don't care either way) since I never post in this forum, but that has been the first time in a long while that I have viewed the leper's colony and saw that someone was permabanned for pedophilia.

It's loving hilarious because he had such horrible use of discretion that people were finding him in various forums all over the web posting hosed up poo poo about how it's "okay to fantasize about little kids" (paraphrased) but that it doesn't make him a deviant.

>>8535348

>>8535224
That would make it worse in MG's situation. Their games are specifically intended as porn, and they are showing half-naked (or more) little girls in them. On the other hand, it's hard to see anything sexual about the hot springs scene in FS.

Unless, of course, you have a dirty ``pedophile" mind, as evidently the CF devs do (else they wouldn't have felt a need to censor it).

>>8535374
There's no reason to show a bunch of naked girls unless you wanted people to oogle them.

>>8535379
The hot springs scene didn't even show anything, though. They effectively aren't any less naked now than they were in the original.

The only explanation is that the CF devs are pedos who saw an innocent bath scene as something lewd.

>>8534395
Typical for me to actually find the towels even more sexually suggestive than the one without them.
The towel suggests there is something to hide, as such I can't help but to imagine their budding buds beneath.

The clean one doesn't show anything though, because there isn't really anything to show. Sure, if you have a thing for the girls you could naturally imagine the same things here, but unlike the towel, this isn't as in your face about it.

Its cute that they have different colors though.

None of you guys probably saw it, but the head translator for CF got into basically this exact same argument with a troll on the NIS forums over Atelier Totori (The transparent skirt specifically).

Kinda funny to see this happen again, like some weirdass cycle. Dude's probably rolling in Capitalism money though.

>>8535432
I can't believe people like this actually exist.

Well, at least nyumedia and Rockin Android don't have to deal with HARD MORAL DECISIONS like this.

That being said, what do you all think of all this doujin localization?

SA used to be anime as fuck just like the rest of the internet, but they slowly acquired a sense that their paywall rendered them superior to it, for whatever reason. It's basically a bunch of nerds doing their best imitation of a frat, picking on nerds they see as below them in the pecking order to reassure themselves that they are 'normal,' despite spending 100 hours a week trolling EVE online or whatever.

Of course, it's still full of anime faggots just like everywhere else on the internet, they've just intimidated themselves into silence through peer pressure. I know plenty of people who post there completely 'in the closet' about their powerlevel, it's really kind of sad

>>8534395
It's like I'm really watching Toonami.

>>8535441
I'm fine with it if it's done right, e.g. Xseed with Corpse Party. The CF faggots deserve bankruptcy, though.

>>8535396
Toriyama is totally a faggot and you can't get me to believe otherwise. Also no girl was every shown naked in a nonsexual context on that show.

To the means of which they are grasping at straws at that place.
They even assume things like UBW is some kind of acronym for something pedo related, without knowing what either UBW, F/SN nor Visual Novels are.

some goon wrote a pretty funny review of rapelay

>In the past Hentai games have often catered to casual rape enthusiasts. These are perfectly normal folks like you, me and your next door neighbor who only leaves his apartment to buy canned meat and plastic tarps. I like to think of this audience as the “beer and pretzel” rape gamer. They’re interested in a fun “pick up and play” rape game and they don’t want to get bogged down in details. Then there are the rape grognards who want a rape simulator to be as realistic as possible. They want it to include accidental pregnancies, crying, abortion, threat of murder, fuel mixture, full elevator control, and pre-rape start-up checks. RapeLay is the grognard’s rape simulator. It is the Falcon 4.0 of rape.

I'm pretty sure that's what he was quoting.

I remember a few years back when somebody did an ironic let's play of Do You Like Horny Bunnies (some shitty bottom of the barrel nukige localized by JAST). It was deemed too "creepy," and I think the guy was banned. Now, the rules are amended to exclude all "hentai games."

maybe they censored it because soccer moms and moralfags who saturate steam would otherwise get on their ass for showing something that resembles naked little girls and run their company to the ground, not to mention getting kicked out of steam permanently and having to seel their stuff through some shitty third grade means like mangagamer does.

at least now they have an excuse and can say "they're in towels, they aren't naked, you're the only one who actively looks for and sees naked little girls everywhere you fucking pedophile" in return.

He's denying the past in order to court normalfags.

I wonder if a future will come on 4chan where you won't even be able to discuss Kodomo no Jikan without getting a dozen moralfags reporting you and the mods deciding to permaban everyone in the thread.
