@Vara_Dark I find it disingenuous to claim the petition is trying to censor anything. There’s nothing “there” to censor — that’s the problem. Evie’s appearance is ambiguous enough that you had to ask @jamm3rd about her age. When the first game released, I created the FreeStellarBlade website to highlight the censorship that Shift Up admitted to (not Sony, not copyright). You were aware of the website because you liked my post in your Discord, but you never covered it or responded to my email. You had the chance to ask @jamm3rd about the censorship still present in the first game, the Day 1 PS5 adopters scam, or Denuvo on a single-player game. Instead, you expressed reservations about Evie’s youthful appearance - until @jamm3rd made you feel comfortable about it. You’re only against censorship when it doesn’t affect the bag. Actions speak louder than monetized videos. Imagine claiming to be “red pill” while fighting for a youthful, underage-looking sexualized character design over a sexualized mature one. All we want is Evie with a clearly mature adult appearance so we can get back to enjoying the game. #StellarBlade #Evie #ProtectYouthfulCharacters

Yes I remember all of that. However Lily isn’t the main character and I don’t remember there being jiggle physics on her. To me, Lily appears older than Evie and Kaya. When I see Evie, she reminds me of Kaya because how similar in age they appear to be. Shift Up released a day one patch, that censored the most revealing outfits in the game. They admitted they censored the outfits in an ambiguous way(not Sony and not copyright) Shift Up never uncensored those original outfits. Holiday Rabbit is still Granny Rabbit I think you’re mistaken Red Hood as the Bunny outfit replacement, but it doesn’t have the tail nor the ears that made peculiar. EveNotEvie.com

Eve's model was based on a motion scan of a Korean model, but the model itself is slightly taller and more curvaceous. The activists who attacked the game, claiming it wasn't realistic, and those who called for censorship were simply projecting their own issues with the design In fact, in SB, they didn’t just attack Eve but also Lily, because there was a small group of people who said they saw her as a minor—even though she was an adult. I don’t know if that rings a bell. Sony released a patch on launch day to censor content in Stellar Blade, including several outfits, although Shift Up later released additional content that included alternative versions of some of the censored outfits. Now you’re calling for the same censorship while repeating the same narrative as the people who attacked the first game.

Everyone knows I'm against reporting games to payment processors. But in the case of Stellar Blade Blood Rain, Shift Up is the sole responsible for this whole Evie debacle. Its CEO was all cocky reposting 'owns'. Victory laps always come with a bill. Always.

I’m glad we can talk about this I disagree that Eve does not have a personality, she’s sent to Earth to complete her mission She’s never been to Earth. She’s been led to believe civilization does not exist She gets to Earth, loses her friend, learns that Humanity and civilization survived. She’s trying to complete her mission but keeps getting getting hit with contradictions Eve is focused and keeps to herself until she realizes that Mother Sphere lied. She has to deal with all this while having the biggest fraudster posing as her ally. There was an interview where Shift Up said they watered down the story because they thought players wouldn’t be able to “get it”

@ibu_protocol @JayViperTV I loved eve's design and I definitely want their story to continue. Only thing I agree with is she didnt have much personality. But to me it wasn't terrible due to her being an artificial human and a soldier. Soldiers are taught to think and behave differently

The freak who is petitioning against SHIFT Up isn't even an EVE or Stellar Blade fan. Yorch is suspected to have never played the game and is totally on board. Two posers trying to push a censorship campaign. Say it isn't so!

This MFer is really out here supporting censorship while trying to convince people he's not? How brain rotted is Yorch and this other weirdo? Imagine losing all your credibility over the fact that Evie merely exists. EXPOSED

@YorchTorchGames they haven’t realized that what’s in the petition is exactly what @jamm3rd is going to do @jamm3rd invited all this discourse, all they had to do is NOT call it “Stellar Blade” That’s it. Instead @jamm3rd calls the new character “Evie”, which is a bit hypocritical when they’ve been talking bad about Eve saying she’s bland. Then they fast forward 30 some years and still find a way to bring the Naytiba back, something they could have just done with Eve. EveNotEvie.com

I'll say it again, and I will never get tired of saying it. There's a significant difference between being pro-censorship and calling out Shift Up for: - Making a terrible marketing decision (replacing Eve). - The CEO taunting critics and, in doing so, adding fuel to the backlash which would inevitably invite censorship pressure. You can drown my reply with thousands of requotes and gotchas, but it doesn’t change the point. And I get it... it's easier for you to just say 'Yorch supports censorship', than confronting the argument.
Emerald Apple@AI_EmeraldApple

"grow up"? Sounds like you are the one who could benefit from "growing up" when you pull the nuclear option just because you don't like a design. You know as well as I do that the whole cancel campaign comes from a place of degenerate moral panic where they conflate youthful adult appearance with pedophilia. They did the SAME thing with Eve from the first game, and they are doing the SAME thing again!

I remember Collective Shout from @CurtisWillet007 He explained to me how they would try to convince Visa & MasterCard to keep gamers from buying whatever their ideology doesn’t agree with. Now our own people and those who support woke are actively resorting to that low tactic…even our own brethren. Any game that stars a beautiful woman must be discarded by all means. That’s what collective shout believes in. These people are evil. Stellar Blade will overcome & gamers will win again.

All of you “Stellar Blade” fans allowed @jamm3rd to censor the first game (not Sony btw) I was there, I created the freestellarblade website to highlight the censorship The game is still censored by the way, go look at Holiday Rabbit. You can’t call yourself a “Stellar Blade” fan while letting @jamm3rd talk bad about Eve just to prop up the new character. You don’t do that. There is a difference between appearing “young” versus appearing “underage” Evie’s design is ambiguous and skirts that line in a game where jiggle physics and revealing suggestive outfits are an expectation I do not want @jamm3rd to normalize the sexualization of Youthful underage looking characters in games, do you? change.org/ProtectYouthfu…

While some groups keep pushing payment processors to censor creative works they dislike, Shift Up CEO Hyung-tae Kim was direct about Evie in Stellar Blade: Blood Rain: “Yes. She is younger. She’s smaller in size. She’s shorter than Eve… but she has a stronger personality and engages in much tougher battles. If you actually play the game, you will not think that.” Important note: Evie is an adult character, she is not a child. This is the same selective outrage playbook we’ve seen before, attack now, then try to claim her later. Keep the receipts. If you’re hating on her design today, you don’t get to claim her later. Gatekeep Evie. Personal note: I stand with Shift Up and Evie’s design. I stand with CEO Hyung-tae Kim. I will be supporting this game 100%. #TeamEvie Mastercard and Visa have no authority over what art can be made or what we can enjoy. X Payments cannot come soon enough. Artistic freedom isn’t optional.

This is you supporting censorship with your "they had it coming" attitude. You should be pushing AGAINST this payment processor shit, not supporting it, REGARDLESS of your position on Evie. Not supporting her design is different than you supporting censorship, which is exactly what you're doing. And the woke "childlike" attacks. lol. Go to South Korea, my guy.

This is what confuses me about current “Stellar Blade Fans” Everyone wanted a sequel with Eve, Raven, Lilly, etc Everyone created Art of Eve Everyone cosplayed as Eve Everyone discussed potential sequel plot lines with Eve The new trailer drops “Eve was boring and bland” “I never liked Eve’s design” “Eve’s story was wrapped up” How can you call yourself a “Stellar Blade” fan and let @jamm3rd talk bad about Eve just to prop up the new character?

Holiday Rabbit is still censored to this day The censorship was never removed. If you’re going to sexualize characters, they must appear the appropriate age to do so. Eve, Tifa, Lara, Bayonetta, you don’t look at them and think is she underage? Evie’s design is too ambiguous and blurs the line between “young” and “underage” If you don’t see how that’s a problem, then i don’t know how else to explain it. And this is all because @jamm3rd wants to play these games

I’m not saying you’re wrong and maybe they could be but that petition is clearly him advocating for 2 things. Redesigning a character because he perceives them to be a child which she isn’t which means he’s contradicting himself in real time saying we respect the creative freedom of adult characters but not showcasing that he does by making a petition to redesign her. The censorship was fixed in the first game and they said it will be more revealing in this one. He didn’t support the first one and continued bashing them for it. He is now saying give her no revealing outfits which is him saying keep the game censored or go back to censoring the game. The dude is a joke. The petition is a joke as well.

I’ll add on to @YorchTorchGames What’s a complete slap to the face is “fans” like you. You and the rest of them laid down while @jamm3rd censored the first game, scammed day 1 ps5 players, and added Denuvo @jamm3rd constantly gas lights the fanbase and you guys don’t see that The petition isn’t asking for Evie to be removed from the game. I’m waiting on the “I’m not going to read all that”

You're talking about the redesign Evie petition? Let's assume you are. I wouldn't be called a game design strategist if I didn't know my craft... Shift Up will leave A LOT of money on the table if they decide to double down on Evie's design. And the fact the CEO taunted critics... not the right move.

I don’t want to create a space where real PDFs feel welcomed and safe. Evie’s design can stay, just remove the jiggle physics and revealing suggestive outfits.

Hold on, that isn’t what is in the petition. When the first game came out, “Stellar Blade fans” were saying that Eve’s body type was realistic and then proceeded to show many Korean woman that were similar to Eve. Now because the conversation is about Evie’s ambiguous design, all of sudden “all” Korean woman look young and underage?

Basically, you're asking them to censor the game because when you see Evie, you picture a little girl—which is your own perception, since Eve is very attractive, taller, and curvier than the average Korean woman. The fact that Evie is shorter and less curvy than the average Korean woman doesn't make her a little girl; it just shows that what bothers you is your own perception, for which neither the players nor the studio should be held responsible.

I’m definitely not a fan of @SHIFTUP_Corp or @jamm3rd I created the freestellarblade website to highlight the censorship of the first game imposed by @jamm3rd Everyone let them get away with it or deny it. Everyone also let them get away with screwing over the day one PS5 fans and adding Denuvo to a single player game. This time they crossed the line, and i will do everything i can to stop the normalization of sexualizing youthful characters in video games

People like this retard are not true fans of the studio nor actual fans of the game. They simply just infest themselves into anything to simply ruin it with censorship over sexualization. In my opinion the new term for beings such as these should be called "faggots".

No one is saying women can’t have soft features or small stature. The issue is the combination: a character who looks significantly younger than Eve in most shots, paired with Stellar Blade’s heavy sexualization (revealing outfits and jiggle physics). It’s not about denying she’s an adult in lore. It’s about what the game is presenting on screen. Respectfully, I don't know how many ways I can explain it to you so you understand my concern with normalizing the sexualization of youthful underage characters.

@ibu_protocol @websurf64 @YorchTorchGames “What people a actually see” If you’re going based on what people see instead of logic then you’re a retarded dick clown. There’s no science in the world that says a woman can’t have soft, round features and small stature. If you have no logic to base your stance on you lose.

On gaming forum ResetEra, users have been reporting Stellar Blade 2 to credit card and payment handlers like Visa in an effort to boycott the game. This is due to Evie’s appearance: not her age. Shift Up has yet to comment, but blocks by payment companies would be costly.

Some Stellar Blade fans have spotted that some users on ResetEra and other groups are reporting the game to payment companies like Visa and Mastercard. They want to boycott the game, especially after Shift Up will reveal more outfits and content for the game that they think the protagonist is too young They started by banning discussion of the game altogether; now users there claim to be reporting it regularly.
