I…am amazed by the level of creativity.

I don’t frequent Neogaf in any capacity, so this is the first I’m hearing about their sudden cries of foul on censorship. At least something good came out of the whole mess, though I doubt any of them will walk away from the experience more self-aware.

Valkyrie Drive is right up my alley. An absurd pretense and lots of obvious S&M influence. I love this kinda nonsense in suitable doses.

I have been thinking about this for a week, trying to figure it out.

No answer yet.

Apparently the party are all wearing the official garb of the Lucis military
Oh, so, like the Dutch ‘military’ in Amsterdam, then?

The hypocrites over at NeoGaf are not wrong for being upset at the pulping of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water‘s mature content, but they are absolutely wrong for objecting to this kind of censorship while enthusiastically supporting the censorship of games they do not care about.

This is why I never want my ideological opponents silenced. The tools used to silence them when they are wrong can just as easily be used to silence me when I am right. And will be, if placed in the hands of a Power. There is no such thing as ‘safe’ censorship or ‘prudent’ censorship or ‘right’ censorship or ‘a little’ censorship.

Valkyrie Drive Mermaid follows protagonist Mamori, who is apparently a mermaid in spite of the fact that she looks just like a regular teenage girl.
In the 16th century, “Mermaid” was a euphemism for ‘prostitute’. Perhaps that explains it.
