I found a vagina in Watch Dogs 2 and Sony suspended me (Update: Ban lifted)

"For the kids who need to be kept safe from genitalia, but it's perfectly fine for them to see gore content such as a nice screenshot from a bunch of balls being crushed in Mortal Kombat." - Sony.

If only Team Ninja..
It says a moderator looked into it in the first note too. It probably was re-review in the end, but using what pretty much looks like the generic moderation message makes it kind of weird in that case. Like "We’ve made this decision based on your online activity in Live from PlayStation on 15-11-2016" even through he was suspended on the 14th.
Considering MS will ban you for having a swear word in your bio, I doubt they would handle this any better than Sony have and would just open themselves up to bad PR if they do a similar thing (ban people for stupid shit) in the future.
Censorship strikes again
Fuck you Sony and any company that does this shit.

Kinda ticked off this is getting patched out.
I hope whoever modelled the vagina doesnt get canned because of this.
It's a case of, if you want to see that stuff, get ready to unplug the ethernet cable from your PS4.
If this really is Sony's mandate, I don't expect them to foot the bill to recall physical copies across 3 platforms.
That's a really weak argument.
"We all know little kids play Rated M games. Therefore Rated M games should be less M."
LMAO, I don't see that happening any time soon.
Man Sony deserves a lot of shit for this, they should talk it over with Ubisoft, not on the user who actually exposed this, let alone double down on the punishment.

Have a word with yourself, Sony.
You literally have games where people get their heads blown off, but this is worth a ban?
Have. A. Word.

Taking this a bit hard, champ. I'll bet you the patch simply makes it so that dead hookers have more hair on their poorly-modeled bits.
It's not censorship, it's localization.
Also the company is doing it themselves so it can't be censorship.

I say this is more on Sony and probably the fact they don't have control over shared clips on the system. Maybe there should be an age question before selecting a clip from rated m games. They are rated m for a reason and devs shouldn't have to patch out games for the sake of making them less mature

It's also these games being sold with this content with the full knowledge that most parents don't know this stuff is in it.

I'm growing really tired of Sony's bullshit lately. They're definitely pushing me back towards Xbox for my console choice.
Yep. Hearing about the Pro still being noisy, the refusal of EA Access and now this. I think I'll just wait for Scorpio. I never thought I'd say that.

I think that poster was making fun of the Japanese changes to games when they come west posts.

Holy shit ban extended for a month lol what a joke.

Subete no aware
A month ban? You're going to double down on this stupidity, Sony?
At this point I'm willing to think they add 1 month for every outlet covering this story.
Wait, what?
We have to get Sony's permission to make a thread on Neogaf about being banned from their Network due to sharing content from a legally purchased game played on their system? We should somehow take their feelings into account????

No, but he was banned for violating their terms of service. Waiting the week and then complaining about how stupid the ban was is better than complaining while the ban is there, because Sony will just review and extend the ban as has happened.

No it's not. The game and the social aspect of their network are two different things.
What's ridiculous i'd that Ubisoft is altering the game.
Violence is allowed, guts dropping out of a character are allowed, gunshots to the head are allowed. Kids aren't affected by those, didn't you know? So who cares if that shared content ends up on their wall.
Fuck you Sony and your stupidity and hipocrisy.

Why?
fabricated backlash

Sure, tweeting a headshot with pieces of brain and eyeballs flying in the camera with an over done Depth of field effect and some tasteless hashtag, is ok for Sonys corporate image, but a shot of some sexual organs is detrimental.
This industry is a bag of hypocrits.

Honestly, that would have taken less effort than what they want to do.
The ban is ridiculous
The second ban even more

Its hilarious that the problematic aspect of that statement is quantity of pubic hair.
Even excluding the stupidity of the ban, going to public forums and complaining about the said ban should not factor one iota in their review policy to extend the ban.
None.
Zero.
Point to me where in the TOS it says "If we ban you, you better STFU on public forums about it. Say anything about it and we will mess you up further"
I hope this gains traction and further coverage. It's ridiculous.
