Wuthering Waves Fanbase in Flames After Dev Makes Some Undies Edits

Incoming messages where people call those that play these types of games every negative name they can think of.

And no I don't play WuWa... mostly because I just didn't enjoy the combat much.

The fact that anyone even noticed this speaks volumes about that section of the fan base. Embarrassing.

The absolute second hand embarrassment of it all.

@themightyant
I'm honestly amazed with the sheer amount of Gachas you play. I just play ZZZ and that already feels like too much.

Gamers are their own worst enemies at times. 🙄

Isn't this fake bait? I have the character and I never even would of noticed if it wasn't for the internet

It takes a special kind of "gamer" to notice these kinda things. The kind that should be on a register.

How very dare they! 🥸

At least the watermelon knockers have been left unmolested by the evils of censorship.

U must be lonely in life if u worry someone fixing panties in a game gooners need help

This is the Stellar Blade "controversy" all over again, remember folks it was the devs who wanted to change some outfits for Eve, so save your pitchforks for something that actually matters.

Any form of art shouldn't be changed only because censors don't like it. It doesn't matter if it's in this case or another. If they don't like it, just go away. For example I heavily dislike anime at all, but I'm not poking to artists who make it. Art is art.

At this point I’m sure they are just doing it for the free publicity from sites like this and writers seem happy to give it to them.

I've never played these sorts of games, but this seems tame compared to the vagina textures they patched out of WatchDogs 2, or even the nudist NPCs you'd occasionally catch wandering around the city in that game.

Always reminds me that I share my hobby with crazy weirdos...

And the world just becomes a little less enjoyable.

@Oram77
lol, the naivety.

@thefourfoldroot1 I am? I mean, it was the literal case with Stellar Blade...

Sheesh… the cake on Fleurdelys… I would have been mad about that too 🤣 clearly joking, I don’t usually play games that be purposely revealing.

i guess the perverts are upset..

“They’ve unfortunately removed the detail…” Holy 🤬 these guys are pitiful!

Edit: Why are people saying “censorship” at this? This isn’t really the type of censorship that needs to be railed against. The devs made a change. They weren’t forced to make the change. If you all are so against censorship (which I am also not a fan of) then why wear clothing? Be the rebels you claim to be and show’em you mean business! Again, this is such odd behavior 😬

@get2sammyb Don't look at The First Descent then 👀

Oh no, I can't look at the panties of a (probably underaged) anime girl no more. What will I do with my life now 😫

As silly as it sounds, I think this kind of stuff is absolutely diabolical.

Look... if no one wants to hear out the folks complaining about a line, I get it-- sounds super banal. But the issue I immediately have is when this happens to gacha games. We all know the entire point is to sell the characters based on different appeals. You're already in fanservice city as the main bait. If whatever you see there is how the character is represented when you spend god KNOWS how much money, then it should stay that way. Any actual improvements are fine(new attack, animations, etc), but it's not like these characters are going to move faster without the wedgie lol

I just think it makes more sense to reward people for spending that kind of money. Playing the morality game now seems 4 steps too late.

I don't play any gacha games but there's a few on the horizon that definitely caught my eye. I highly doubt it'll be underwear related but I know there's a level of change that would make me pretty upset if I started to invest in those.

@bluemage1989 yeah that’s what I thought. Funny these games are released in these states only to be changed later…

What's even sadder than the weebs complaining about this , is that there is other weebs out there that will see this and want to play it now , good job for getting more publicity and most likely more money 👍

One day maybe people will realise it’s not about the panties. It’s about changing something that shouldn’t bother anyone.
If it’s removed then it means there is someone out there who went bellow and beyond to find something to complain about and the devs catered to them, instead of preserving something some people valued (the original artist included)

Also, the idea that someone who likes something sexual in nature is a pervert is 18th century puritanical. I don’t play these games, and i assume most people commenting don’t, but why would you go out of your way to insult someone based on they enjoying these details in their sexy gacha game is beyond me

@Oram77
You think it was the devs’ choice and not the publisher?

@Carck ah, yes. The value of cameltoe. Now that's a worthy cause.

I think this is all part of a bigger question of "does nudity have a place in video games?"

I dont know this game, but 3 questions HAVE to be able to be answered YES to:

• Is the rating 18+ ?
• Does it include a Nudity in the rating warning?
• Are the characters involved 18+ (and depicted as such ie the character looks 18+)?

Its a debate ive seen many times, but not often from anything other than an (often immature) 'Im outraged at ..... censorship..." point of view - often where the character in question is female....

Whatever the answer, no game should be allowed to objectify one sex, be it female (which appears to be often the case) or male, and nudity of any type, if included, should not be disproportionately used (eg character sex, age, build etc) ie the game should equally include nudity across character types and sexes.

If I remember correctly and as a fairly extreme example, full frontal nudity was included in Cyberpunk across both sexes - though I cant honestly remember there being any real reason for it, but I also cant remember it being a big point of discussion.

NB no innuendo is being intended in my comment.

@Carck it’s not about the camel toe. It’s about changing something that doesn’t bother anyone. This is why when they change a piece of shoulder armor it gets the same level of pushback online. Because it’s the change itself that matters. Not what’s being changed… 😒

Edit: /s

@AhmadSumadi Does it matter, though? It's their game. Their product. Their development. Why shouldn't they have the right to change it however they see fit?

The boss censorship bothers me more than the cameltoe but with how chaotic and fast she is, i literally never noticed what she was wearing down there 😂. As for cantarella, I thought the appeal of her was the 2 massive reasons upfront that jiggle like crazy. Even during serious cutscenes lol

I hope the SEO on this article was worth it.

@thefourfoldroot1 The main dev literally went on stage on said it was HIS choice, so yes I believe it.

@Carck

I think it's generally just human nature. The longer I live the more I notice humanity absolutely reveling in the disappointment of others especially if there's fake brownie points available for being morally superior.

@ElkinFencer10 read my comment again. I edited it to be more clear and concise.

@TicklefistCP Maybe if women aren't your speed

@GirlVersusGame
I have edited my original comment to include the clarification "(and depicted as such ie the character looks 18+)? " as when reading your reply, you are quite right in that its not enough just to say the character(s) is 18+ , that has to match with the depiction / facial features etc, and anything else is frankly sick and im sure illegal.

As I say, I dont know much about this game at all, and my point was more generalised after casually reading the article - but this seems to be a topic that I have read about a lot recently, and I think its far more nuanced than some make it out to be.
Not targetting under 18s or depicting under 18s is obviously key, but I also think games need to be careful in not objectifying a single sex, or applying disproportionately (as per my original comment).

Quite agree with the fact that some parents will not stop under 18s watching/playing 18 classification movies/games - but I do wonder how clearly the content is labelled to parents/ guardians?
Its not something I pay much attention to, but I have been asked (on a few occasions, by different people) for my "opinion" on certain games before, when a parent was asking about the stength of content in a game.
To a certain extent this is a whole discussion in itself!

@AhmadSumadi I gotcha. Apologies, I misunderstood your meaning originally.

People laugh and name-call until their game gets censored. If this was a choice the devs decided to make organically, fine; otherwise, buzz off with your politics.

@Oram77
Ok, you can believe that if you wish. The rest of the game, not to mention the devs’ original designs, stand in strong evidence against that. But you can believe the devs had a change of heart if you wish.

@Rich33 If its not 18 its childporn to be fair. And dont get me started about a girl that looks like she is 14 and then say in the description she is 18 its a bit creepy.

@GirlVersusGame The mom asked he was gay because he collected statues of sexual looking females then she is just dumb. And does watching cartoons make you gay? I guess dumb and blind dont want to be rude she just sounds ignorant and extremely dumb and close minded religious maybe?

And i hope she stays offline she probably would go nuts. Kids get bombarded with adult stuff nowadays.

@Flaming_Kaiser
Yes, and whilst it seems like "18+ and looks 18+" is something that should just be a given (and I was trying to raise a point also against the objectification of a single sex), this seems like something that in a videogame could be open to more abuse (whether intended or not), also age determination in a game character is often more difficult when a facial model is not used.

As I said, I dont know this game - so cant comment on the characters listed in the article.

@Rich33 I dont Mind sexual stuff i like it but its just the depiction of girls or better said women. At 18 you just start your life to be honest you are only adult on paper.

And in some general cases its just disguised Child porn especially if you see guys go mental about seeing certain parts not seeing the panties of a 14 year old looking girl.

I had a discission with a guy got mad thar one second of a panty shot that got remove i had to watch it several times before i even noticed. And yes ofcourse she looked young.

@Flaming_Kaiser
And I think that's half the problem - this needs a more industry wide conversation / control, and certain areas (no pun intended) that we have both discussed (underage looking, game age rating not being 18+, objectification of a single sex, etc) need to be stopped.
However as soon as anyone tries to, a certain group cry very loudly (and as you allude to sometimes in what I find a fairly sick way) about censorship.
I wonder how loud said outcry would be if the censorship was against a 20 something yr old male character?

@Rich33 Lets be real with some Japanese games it are kids they just put a age under it to get it passed.

And sex or sexy isnt bad just try to make ik look like 18 years girls looking atleast.
Sex can be in games just dont make it into child****.

To be fair kids are sexualised in the current (social)media they dont have time to be kids anymore.

And probably not i think.
