You must be referring to the censorship of Miranda's butt in the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition remaster.
The mod was to remove that censorship.
But it is interesting what your initial assumptions about it were.
- KittenInABox 5y agoHow the heck is ass size of a fictional character something something journalistic integrity of video games?
- mrRandomGuy 5y agoIt obviously impacts my freedom of uh, being able to look at big CGI butts?
- the_doctah 5y agoLike I said, it's about censorship in this case. GG encompasses more than journalistic integrity. Please learn to read. I already corrected the person who misunderstood that it's not a mod about increasing ass size.
- jcranmer 5y agoI don't see why you think this rebuts the previous comment. "We're mad that the company reduced the female's butt size" doesn't really refute "the community cares about female butt size [presumably to ogle large butts]"... in fact, it kind of reinforces that viewpoint. For what it's worth, I looked through that subreddit's discussion of the article of this HN thread, and the dominant strain of opinions tended to be either "woke company is a bunch of hypocrites, ha ha ha" or "why are you believing what women say." I didn't see the other thread in question, but there definitely seems to be a very strong anti-woke-ism and misogynistic strain in general to the subreddit.
- the_doctah 5y agoFirst, please stop perpetuating this "butt size" thing. The developers of the remaster changed the camera to completely remove it. Now, you might ask, "Who cares about a butt?". Well, the same question can be reflected at the people who did the censoring. A remaster isn't supposed to do that type of shit. The truth is, the current woke devs censored the original director's creative vision. It's Neo-puritanical "You can't sexualize women in 2021" nonsense. It's censorship plain and simple. and it's all part of the same slippery slope. And by having such a laissez-faire attitude about it, you are encouraging the slippery slope to continue. And if you want to argue about the original creative vision, then please do some research about the character in question.
- tptacek 5y agoYikes. One of the first articles I see on that subreddit is a long, curated list of "race and gender swaps" in movies, such as the "blackwashing" of casting Morgan Freeman as "Red" in The Shawshank Redemption, with several hundred examples, each lovingly attributed in a changelog. Ethics in gaming indeed!
