Nowadays, game development is too difficult, and game developers have to consider the different customs and beliefs of different regions, as well as the discrimination between various fields, and whether the characters and plots designed are in line with the aesthetics of female boxing. After all, there have been many cases before, and there are always some games that will be reported for removal for some "seemingly outrageous reasons".
I don't know when it started, but women's rights have gained a voice in various fields, which naturally covers the field of games. As early as the eighties and nineties, the development of the gaming field has been affected, and it has been fermenting for many years without interruption. This also leads to the fact that later game manufacturers must consider the "female boxing" factors that may be involved in advance when making games.
In the era of women's boxing in Europe and the United States, although most people are really defending their "rights", there are also many women who rely on the topic of women's rights to attract attention, they mainly use out-of-context quotes to criticize the game for disrespecting women's boxing from an alternative perspective, and then make women's boxing educational videos, engage in crowdfunding and other ways to collect money. The domestic women's boxing seems to be weak, and after every verbal criticism, it is for traffic realization and micro-business.
I don't know if you still remember the first chapter of Diablo 2?
Most of the villains who appear in it are scantily clad "depraved Rogge", who use various weapons and are slashed with a single sword. As well as the Blood Crow, the Countess, and the unclothed Andariel, and even in the lair of Andaril there are mountains of female corpses.
The content of the game, as well as the eerie graphics, do make the hearts of first-time players tremble, but it is precisely this style of painting that is more in line with the word "dark".
Although there are also butcher scenes in the first generation, the second generation reflects female characteristics on these corpses, and the plot describes Rogge who was killed by Andariel, and the countess even bathed in Rogge's blood, and those Rogges whose bodies were penetrated on the stakes are even more chilling.
This caused a lot of denunciation from the girl's boxing back then, and even held a short demonstration at the Blizzard gate, which caused quite a stir at the time. It was also from this time that Blizzard had scruples every time it developed a game.
Years later, when the game was reset, the corpses of the Andariel scene had "converged" a lot. We can only confirm that there are corpses inside, but we can't confirm the gender of these corpses.
After that, "World of Warcraft" also suffered from it, and under the influence of the arrogant attitude of the female boxers, Blizzard had to change Sylvanas's armor, not only to harmonize the small waist, but also to forcibly explain that wearing armor was to better protect themselves.
In fact, players don't care if they can protect themselves, and it doesn't matter if the defense system is covered or not. Which game today isn't "The less the clothes, the higher the defense?" ”
"Overwatch" developed by Blizzard many years later, it actually made sense that players called it Overwatch Ass at the time, the characters are quite beautifully portrayed, and the tights completely portray the figure of each character.
At that time, a female boxer jumped out and complained fiercely about the characters, and the hunting air was the focus of verbal criticism, thinking that her posture and movements were constantly showing off her sexiness, which would bring all kinds of negative sensory stimulation to minors.
Blizzard, who was frightened, said at the time that it would make corrections, not to mention how humble that attitude was. (After Hunter removed a sexy stance, it turned out to be a sexier one)
CAPCOM also had a more controversial figure back then: "Nanagawa Meihua".
It has been attracting attention since the appearance of "Boy Street Fighter 3", after all, this is a very rare female wrestler in the game. But when the game was at its hottest, it was considered offensive to women by many women's boxing, and Nanagawa Meihua deliberately exposed sensitive parts and even used her ass to attack, which is a challenge to women's bottom line.
To be honest, CAPCOM was really scared of these organizations in the early years, and many innovations were canceled because they had to take these factors into account.
After that, the character Mika Nanagawa was temporarily abandoned, and it wasn't until 20 years later that "Street Fighter V" had a chance to appear again. In this era, due to the continuous innovation and release of major games, and the complete rating system, female boxers do not have many opportunities to play and cannot attack the character modeling.
I've always wondered why women's boxing has never attacked Mortal Kombat. In fact, it is because the games in the early years were all filmed and produced by real people, and women voluntarily participated, so they were powerless to complain.
On the other hand, Angel, a new character who appeared in SNK's "The King of Fighters 2001", was also punched by a small number of women because she was dressed sexily and her voice was provocative, but it had little effect, after all, the game quality was very low in that era, and not many people cared about it at all.
In "The King of Fighters 14", because SNK restored Angel's figure through 3D, it was considered by the women's boxing organization to be too big and suspected of "objectifying women".
SNK couldn't sit still and responded immediately after being punched, making Angel's bust bigger. SNK's series of operations not only did not get criticized, but also increased sales and attention, and won unanimous praise from players around the world. It seems that the actions of the women's boxers have already caused public outrage, but the players do not give them general knowledge.
This is also a relatively rare case of not compromising with the women's boxing organization, and even daring to fight back.
After arriving in "The King of Fighters 15", SNK continued to maintain the design concept of Angel and did not make changes. The fists swung by the female boxers did not ripple at all.
However, this also makes it difficult for many video writers. As long as the video of Angel's battle, although it can be reviewed, the number of views will be significantly lower than that of other characters. To put it simply, it is too exposed to be pushed
In addition, I saw it in a magazine before: K9999 was banned back then, not only because it borrowed from Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira", but also because he made women have some associations when he released the "dragon hand", and there were two other actions that had some kind of hint. When "The King of Fighters 15" Cologne came out again, the "dragon hand" released had become a mechanical arm. But after so many years, it is unknown whether it is true or not.
Games released today are still under pressure from all sides, leading to a lot of innovation being outlawed. In fact, the quality of a game should be decided by the players, not by those who don't play the game just by its appearance.
The knowledge, beliefs, and culture involved in a game can only be experienced by those who have experienced it! And not those who take it out of context and start with the rhythm!
I don't know if you have played the surprising version of "Sword Star"?
That version is the most original, and even the characters' clothes have not changed in any way. The picture has not changed much, but many of the characters' movements and clothes have been preserved to the greatest extent.
At present, more than tens of thousands of people have strongly condemned Sony's official body, demanding the restoration of the clothes and movements of Eve, the heroine of "Sword Star". It is estimated that Sony has no choice, it is rare for "Sword Star" to gain such a high degree of attention, and if it capsizes in the gutter, it will be worth the loss.
Of course, this is also limited to the current PS5 exclusive. After three years of release on the PC side, I believe that Eve will have more delicate and cool shapes and movements to be unlocked.
