nah you know what fuck it i'll make a public post about this because good fucking god i hate the skullgirls review bombers

[image alt text: A screenshot of a text post. It reads as follows:

"As one commenter states, the Skullgirls situation is like if you bought ice cream and, while you were eating it, the person who sold you the ice cream grabs the actual ice cream part with their bare hands and throws it away, leaving you with just the cone and then saying 'It wasn't healthy for you anyways' with a cheerful smile on their face." End image description.]

if the "actual ice cream part" (ie the thing you were here for) consists entirely of distasteful panty shots, imagery intended to evoke nazism and one unnecessarily brutal depiction of a hate crime then you deserve to have whatever imaginary issues you make up about it happen to you lol

it's genuinely hilarious how readily people will admit they were only ever here for the predatory or bigoted shit that Mike Z pushed for and not "the cone" aka. you know. any part of the actual fucking game

nothing was substantially changed. no element of the story or gameplay was altered. the aforementioned hate crime still happens, it's just that it's implied now instead of depicting the victim getting fucking stomped to near-death. the Egrets are still a hypermilitary arm of the Canopian monarchy based on actual WWII militaries, it's just that they don't have the armbands that were clearly denoted nazi symbology. the renders that remove the panty shots are fucking improved because it actually appears as though the affected characters are being restrained, which is what was supposed to be depicted in them.

this is a fantastic fighting game with a rocky history because of the original developers that worked on it. these are, each and every single one, changes that any rational person would agree are good, because they unanimously remove imagery that is deeply, deeply disgusting at best and flagrantly bigoted at worst. as an actual player of the game with nearly 600 hours across multiple platforms, i fully understand if these are things you aren't able to reconcile.

the only reason i'm not advocating for more changes like this is that this is a fully hand-animated game, and many of its aspects would require you to redraw dozens, hundreds or thousands of frames to fix. the fact that Future Club, the new devs, are planning to do that ANYWAYS is something to be celebrated if you have your head screwed on even a little bit right.

there is no justification for advocating against these changes that doesn't immediately throw you into the worst possible light. you can cry censorship all you want but at the end of the day this game you have 30 minutes in has all the right in the world to change its content however it pleases, ESPECIALLY if it is unanimously to remove imagery that is inarguably awful.

all love to future club. play Skullgirls. if you come onto this post trying to start shit or debate me then please consider looking inwards at yourself or maybe jumping off a building. thanks
