Capcom Made Street Fighter V's Fighter Less Sexy Not to Offend

In earlier versions of the beta of Street Fighter V, Rainbow Mika used to slap her butt during one of her special attacks. In the latest versions, that action was covered by rather awkward camera work, while certain angles were also changed in order to position Cammy's crotch less "in your face."

I don't believe you, not one bit. The changes was clearly made because Social Justice Warrior.

Once again, completely unnecessary self-censorship. Such a shame.

I feel removing fun innocent little moves like Mika's butt-slapp basically removes/hides part of her personality.

There was absolutely NOTHING offensive about ANY of the mentioned stuff that has now been changed. It's just completely ridiculous.

Even Japan is starting to fear the SJW/Feminist crowd.

The future doesn't look too bright if things keep going like this.

[bobtheimpaler]

Japan have a very specific reason for depicting male and female characters alike the way they do. They're meant to be exagerated. So this whole PC thing is already damaging culture and art.

[divinealpha]

Soon we will get games were all the female Characters will be wearing jumpsuits

[UserNameIsNotTaken]

Cam you blame them? These F*cks are annoying af.

[reallyNow]

the only way to beat them is to ignore their existence entirely.

"These changes have arisen internally. We decided to remove it because we want as many people to play, and we do not want the game something that might make someone uncomfortable."

Translation:

"We've succumbed to pressure from certain aspects of western culture to tone down the sexual themes in our game so as to not annoy some female gamers and the men who fight their cause. We want more sales and believe if we kept the content in, many female gamers would be so offended they would boycott the game. Therefore it's better off without."

Hang about, so what if people are uncomfortable with other aspects of the game such as the gratuitous bouncing boobs and exposed flesh or overly manly looking male characters? Zangief should wear trousers and a shirt. Some might find his look uncomfortable and what about his Piledriver move, I see no one changing that.

Hypocrisy at its finest and lame excuses. Integrity zero respect tarnished.

A sad day.

It's funny though, because Japan has historically thrown it's own traditions out the window to adopt more Western culture.

Most of Japanese culture is in some way influenced by the West.

I wish they had just grown a bigger pair of balls and been a little bit more patriotic.

So slapping her own butt is where you draw the line... But not her outfit that barley covers her jiggling lady bits.

lol okay.

[bobtheimpaler]

So pointless.

The whole premise of Street Fighter and it's cast of colourful, larger than life cartoony characters is ridiculous to begin with. I don't understand how a strong and confident character playfully slapping her bum before laying the smack down is harmful towards women.

I'm pretty progressive, but this whole PC thing is out of control.

Want to shoot some ruskies or arabs. Sure. Go nuts.

Wait a minute. There's swearing and sexy women enjoying themselves while kicking ass? Now your crossing the line, buddy!

Remember the South Park movie? Well holy crap. Kyle's mum won.

That bitch! That big fat bitch!

[TruthBTold]

It's too late. Everything is already loost

[MegaRay]

I was offended by the removal of that move :(

[UserNameIsNotTaken]

Complain? :P

[Bimkoblerutso]

Then the goal is clear. We must all obtain vaginas.

[reallyNow]

Thats what Jenner's plan was all along. Except he still has his penis. But it does appear that they crowned him king/queen of their cause, at least for a while.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Either they have an SJW within their ranks or they just wanted like 2 SJW gaming sites to write 1 small paragraph about them giving praise for trying to keep the female gamer in mind. But I don't believe any sane person regardless of gender would give af about something so petty as an ass slap. Which is how you know they were altering it with SJWs in mind.

[sadsatan]

I'll be avoiding purchase of this game, based on principle of censorship.

[wodan]

So it okay to offend fans of the game and gamer while non gamer or SJW should be happy and not offended? i will pick this game day one but that's pretty missed up.

[bradley79]

Why google translate?

[Max-Zorin]

Kamiya would have told the SJW's to f off.

[Roccetarius]

Well, they changed the models of Bayonetta and Jeanne in the Wii U release, because they were ''too well endowed''. Not sure if that was before the SJW madness kicked in fully, but that was pretty silly.

[ParanoidFreak]

I hope Capcom is reading this: I am passing on SFV (or I will buy it used) simply based on this change

Capcom is catering to the SJW rather than the hardcore fan

You start censoring something, you start messing with its original intent

Count me out

[gamer7804]

might seem petty, but i'm going to wait to buy it used, its just the principle of it. This is happening to way to many games coming to the west.

[GrimDragon]

Not to offend? But you offended those of us who wanted the game as intended not this PC garbage.i would like to know what people exactly they didn't want to offend? Who exactly has the kind of power to scare these developers into making pre school versions of adult games.
I wanted this game now you can keep it. I don't support censorship of any kind. And if this nonsense continues and more people feel like I do you can bet when your revenue drops you'll think twice before caving to the pressures of so called sjw radicals.

[kenwonobi]

What a sad commentary on society these days. Where a tiny vocal portion of society can influence others to the extent takes away our freedoms of enjoyment. Sad sad. Capcom should never listen to outside influencing. I love Street Fighter but I don't want anything I play to feel watered down.

[annoyedgamer]

George Orwell was a prophet.

[Shu_Suzuki]

Soon all female characters will be wearing burka's

[DivineAssault]

These whinny ass SJWs have developers actually going out of their way to change their games.. Damn it capcom, stop trying to please NON GAMERS! What kind of dumb a$$ logic is that???

[wannabe gamer]

Im offended by their attempt to be non offensive

[skratchy]

So her ass and tits can jiggle all up in your face, but a butt slap crosses the line?

[Herbalistic]

Its terrible when creators give in to a certain crowd of easily offended people

[SuperbVillain]

I better see some a$$ & tittays in this game

[Raven722]

Incredibly revealing outfit? Okay. Violently beating someone into unconsciousness with dangerous wrestling moves? Fine. Calling in her teammate to simultaneously slam their asses into the opponent's face? Acceptable. She slapped her own butt? WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS?!

[Medievalwaffles]

I say we bombard capcom with emails and tweets saying i am not offended with mikas butt slap picture included
