Jokes on them, the fruit picture looks like boobs on a plate

Funny because this is the exact premise of this sketch by Childish Gambino and co from way back when:

 

[blacktout]

I don't have strong feelings about this either way. I'm generally anti-censorship but find it hard to get worked up about this particular case.

That said the woman being replaced by a bowl of fruit is hilarious. Reminds me of the promo video for Hank Scorpio's idyllic community in The Simpsons where the homeless guy transforms into a mailbox.

 

[Braag]

I can't stop laughing at the fruit one. It's like after several attempts to draw a tasteful painting of a posing woman they went... "Ugh, just replace her with a bowl of fruit!".

 

[MiguelItUp]

The fruit one fucking broke me so bad, lmao.

This is absurd.

 

[sircaw]

diablo2 res coming out in less than a week, cant wait to open the secret cow level and check if they have censored the udders

 

[bitbydeath]

Whoops-a-daisey, good thing we know how this goes. Their offspring will soon grow up, rebel, and we’ll all be back in the swinging sixties again!

 

[Shmunter]

Who cares? Who's staring at these?

Well, Blizzard obviously does.

Is it China, is it the puritanical wokeness?…not sure

 

[Little Mac]

Did someone say grapefruit!?!?

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

I honestly think there's never been a better time for NeoGAF to resurrect Politics or allow politics threads.

We don't want the madness of the last election returning, but these book-burning Nazis can't be allowed to continue unchecked.

 

[RayBoy]

Ridiculous.

 

[GeorgPrime]

Ahh man the game is already dying. Just let them habe some fun before it ends

Vanilla Wall Paintings HD Updated and Desexualized in Patch 9.1.5

Today's Patch 9.1.5 PTR build includes a surprise update to two very obscure paintings from vanilla. While one has had its sexuality toned down, the other painting has been replaced entirely.

I can't anymore. This is just too much.

The best part, the 2nd painting is an homage to several classic paintings in the same style, but Blizzard is overcompensating just as expected.

Can't wait for all this to bite them in the ass.

The religious right from the 90s finally won it seems.

Turn women into object.

Reminded me of the FF changes with FFVIII Remaster. The difference is that Blizzard has a lawsuit on them.

At what point does the gaming industry scrub the female body completely from games?

It'll be the same time when feminists complain "Why isn't there any women in games anymore?"

The fruit basket is the best swap so far HAHAHAHHA!

Love it. If I was a liberal green haired complainer, I'd take that fruit bowl as the ultimate insult. So lame and weak, it's come down to a fruit bowl to ensure you dont go hyperspastic.

Although not suitable for the game's setting, they could had also put a picture of a roll of toilet paper.

 

[Lupingosei]

WRONG!!!!!

That is way better now!

 

[lughnasadh123]

People think this is some sort of individual change when clearly it's part of a (assumed) larger restructuring going forward. Sure, it seems silly on the surface but it does make sense when trying to look at the bigger picture.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Do they even employ any (normal) girls that they run this shit by? Or is it purple hairs all the way down?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It's not only about the cleavage either, which is covered up.

Tits are flat and instead of a slutty Megan Fox look, it's now a pic of an avatar youre more likely to see in an old Sierra Hoyles Book of Games CD from 1998.

[IDKFA]

I don't play WOW, so I really shouldn't care.

However, I do think it's insane that Blizzard thought they'd earn positive PR points replacing a few virtual paintings.

You'd think they'd have bigger problems to worry about.

FF changes with FFVIII Remaster

Mmmh?

 

[Syphon Filter]

lmao at the second one completely replaced with a bowl of fruit. That one got me.

 

[zeorhymer]

Mmmh?

The GF Siren and Rihona models were altered to be more "modest."

 

[LectureMaster]

The whole company is demented.

 

[SirTerry-T]

I'm late to this thread ...anyone made the "Nice pear/pair" gag yet?

 

[TransTrender]

Missed opportunity

 

[BlackM1st]

Who cares? Who's staring at these?

Apparently Blizzard cares enough to censor it?

 

[MagiusNecros]

SMH

Good thing I didn't buy it.

I guess the colour black will be replaced by "midnight" or "non-colour" or "counter-white" at some point.

But let me guess. Being "in the black" (meaning you're making some profit now) or "hitting a blackjack" are a-ok because the usage of the word black is good thing.

Who knew liberals are so afraid of the colour.

Activision/Blizzard. Talk about racist games......

 

[MagiusNecros]

The remastered models ARE uglier.

Hey, change you GAF name too. lol

I... I just realized... By gawd...

Just looking out for ya as 7.5 billion people in the world will come at you for your name. Better safe than sorry. lol

 

[Velius]

First goddamn thing I thought of you beautiful bastard

 

[Umbasaborne]

Its like they are puritans

 

[Clear]

Its just power-tripping. The only reason to enact such facile changes is to demonstrate that they can.

Any pretext other than this is transparently bogus.

Essentially these people cannot create lasting or meaningful of their own, so they seek to make their mark by hijacking existing creations, tagging them with their cultural graffiti.

blizzard has come such a pathethic company holy shit

 

[Lanrutcon]

Watching a corporation flail around desperately as a survival mechanism is pretty embarrassing.

More sleight of hand moves by Blizzard, taking people's attention away from their real issues.

That was my answer!

Treating women like crap and then shaming/hiding their bodies.
