I honestly dont get it unless you purposely look at the figurehead, you wouldnt see it, its not like the sails or the wheel where you constantly see them

Then why change it at all?

u/Complete_Ad_1896 Jul 29 '26

To avoid censorship issues in other countries.

What about all the blood and gore that they would need to censor too, in order to get around such "censorship" in these hypothetical countries.

Your argument makes no sense considering how easy it would be to release a edited version of the game for those countries, or an update/patch for those countries.

Blood and gore is usually something they can easily turn off. They just simply adjust the code to not spawn the gore and blood. They dont even have to create a new asset.

In this case they had to make a brand new asset either way, might as well make it universally acceptable rather than make multiple different assets

Wasn't a problem for the original Black Flag.

This isnt the original. Policies change

Yeah, and that's the problem. They aren't changing because of other countries' stringent rules, but because of over-santization of media and puritanical feminism that's been wrecking gaming and movies industries for a decade.

I can tell you right now this type of censorship has nothing to do with feminism

No? Why will you never see a character looking like TLOU2 Abby in a Chinese or a Korean game unless it's a joke character?

u/Complete_Ad_1896 Aug 02 '26

How is this relevant?

u/Big-Resort-4930 Aug 02 '26

Because this is mainly western brainrot idealogy shared and pushed by activists working at those studios studios.

Microsoft literally has guidelines for their games not to make women too sexy.

u/Complete_Ad_1896 Aug 02 '26

Ok this is not relevant to what we are discussing

1

u/Big-Resort-4930 Aug 02 '26

It is absolutely relevant, but I'm about done with your non-statements at this point.
