Japanese companies? Sure; Sony in particular jumps to mind. But to be honest, they're not really a Japanese company anymore; and they don't seem to want to be one either. I think the dividing line is who they believe their audience is; Sony (and Square-Enix to a lesser extent) seem to see...

Yeah, there's been something of a push towards woke ideology amongst the large Japanese media corporations (particularly in gaming) that deal extensively with the western market. It kinda reminds me of the last time they thought that pandering to what was seen as mainstream American culture was...

Just a reminder that western corporations are still targeting lewd (and not so lewd) anime-style content for censorship, while they ignore similarly (or even drastically more) lewd content that doesn't feature that particular art style; though that's probably because only the former ends up...

That you think drawings count as child porn merely serves to highlight your inability to separate fantasy from reality. Then there's the fact that you seem incapable of realizing that not every game with anime artwork banned from Steam has the content you're so offended by. I think you're right...

In point of fact, I'm not a conservative period; that you think I am shows just how little thought and effort you've put into this argument.

And what rules exactly did Evenicle 2 violate that the first game did not? And yet they seem to be banning games that don't violate those standards. Neither of which are actually against the stated rules of the platform. I'm starting to think the reason you're defending Steam is because of a...

Whatever your feelings are on the bans, or the content being banned, the fact remains that they appear to be arbitrary. Case in point; they blocked Evenicle 2 from being sold, and yet the first Evenicle is still available for purchase on their platform. If Valve doesn't want certain content on...

Unlikely; GOG doesn't allow erotic content on their platform period.

Time for a new round of anime game censorship on Steam! I think we can safely say their promise to not do this crap anymore was a load of bunk; and if they're dead set on censoring games based solely on their art style? Then I find myself even more justified in boycotting Steam, which I have...

Some are, some aren't; though mostly, those who are tend to be what many refer to as "trans-trenders", i.e. people who lie and assert a trans identity for SJW cred.

Hubris mostly; they assumed they had as much control over the anime community as they once did, and never noticed that they were losing their grip on it.

The SJWs appeared to have taken over the western anime community almost completely many years ago; it's only been recently that people willing to stand against them have been coming out of the woodwork, and carving out a place for like-minded individuals who are actually fans of anime, and not...

For what it's worth, the anime community is at least in a better position here in America than some communities I could name; like the tokusatsu community, for example. Nearly everyone I have ever encountered who's a fan of the medium and has any significant presence on the internet, barring a...

Wow! That is... unfortunate. It's like they chose the worst fan-artist they could find on Deviantart for the job, and then gave them an afternoon to get it done. Who even is this "Whilce Portacio" guy... one of the co-founders of Image Comics huh? The group of comics artists responsible for the...

You're referring to Ken Akamatsu, and I'm not surprised he's aware; the man has always been paying very close attention to anything that might threaten his industry. To the detriment of his work, sadly; but that's probably a discussion for another thread.

Japanese Companies looking to release games on Sony's platform have been forced to care ever since the latter moved their PlayStation headquarters to California. For many Japanese fans of games like the Senran Kagura franchise, which had to be censored extensively to meet new guidelines, that...

The mainstream western anime community has been like this for years; the SJWs took it over a long time ago, and forced those of us who refuse to buy into their ideological bullhonkey underground. It's only been recently that people have tried to push back against them. You remember Gamergate...

The western Anime fandom was built first by people circulating VHS tape recordings amongst themselves, and then later by people downloading fansubs off of BitTorrent; it would be interesting seeing things come around full circle.

He said non-pirate site; that's a pirate streaming site. The only place you're going to find the One Piece dub legally is on Funimation's site; they made it, they own the copyright on it. If you're looking for an decent alternative in general though, I've heard good things about HiDive; they've...
