Thread: Kamihime Project R has had rape content censored in the Nutaku release

A full description of the rationale behind my documentation of eroge censorship is available here.

Right. You're documenting all these changes, because "English publishers, caught between the allure of market forces that incentivize them to launder sexual or offensive content on one side and potential backlash from anti-censorship activists on the other, often seek the coward's way out".

But the content they're "laundering out" is Rape, Pedophilia and Beastiality. Which is what you're de facto fighting for them to include. The "coward's way out" is not approving or endorsing Rape, Pedophilia and Beastiality.

No. The project is far broader in scope than that. If you read on to the Project Goals section, that might become more clear.

...I'm kinda on the fence here, taking massive scissors to it means why bother trying?

I mean picking it apart will just leave a horrid mess and more vanilla - they're weighting the amount of people the more exotic content will encourage to the amount is will discourage....shame

I contacted Nutaku for comment and they've shared their viewpoint on the matter. They were refreshingly straightforward this time around. I've also translation-checked the prelude to Belphegor's first H-scene for side-by-side comparison. I'll finish writing it up and post it on my blog.

I'm looking forward to this. I was a little confused by a lot of the content I saw as well, most notably a comparison of Billy the Kids scenes where anyone who has watched anime for a day knows she is clearly calling you "brother" but they chose to go with "cowboy". I though weird... maybe they have something against implied incest even though she is clearly not actually your sister.

However much later I finally got Diabolos scene and here is a tiny girl bouncing around calling you Daddy a million times. This was the point where I gave up trying to understand their process and lack of overall quality control in their translations. So much of it feels like it was run through a machine and just spat out without any human looking at it other than to ctrl-f and replace certain possibly "offensive" words.

Imagine there are plenty of fans who would be happy to join a translation board and help improve their translations for a small jewel or ngold allowance.

i'm sure that cybele 2 scene was modified with larger boobs

I would be fine with one or two but alot of the scenes in this game are in pretty poor taste. I've seen somebody already make reference to Diablos's "daddy issues" which is pretty questionable, but it seems tha much of the scenes seem to rely on rape (and not just ones where consent is questionable with girls just yelling "no", but these scenes are quite uncompromisingly rape what with many of the girls ending up either drugged or restrained.).

I mean it's one thing to attempt to branch out to different tastes, but I have to see more than two scenes in which it was consensual.

are the scenes going to be replaced right after the update or are we gonna have to wait a bit post-update? and to be clear im not a fan of the rape stuff, i like when i see consent going on.

Finnaly someone who confirmed I wasn't crazy when I thought something was off in the translation
