A by the books definition would be a female character that is otherwise depicted normally, gets depicted in a sexual manner. Could be revealing clothing, could be the lack of clothing, could be the character posing, could be a camera angle or shot focusing on the characters ass, breasts, thighs, panties.
Will discussion of certain games be banned on Neogaf from here on out?

Do you know what Tharja's butt smells like
Most of the supports revolve around marriage and most of the characters, particularly the women, are now one dimensional paper thin anime archetypes. So now a lot of the fanbase has gone to complete shit. I used to enjoy FE threads on /v/ but they're nearly unreadable now. Could be a lot worse as this thread demonstrates
Also they Disgaea'd the shit out of it so it barely feels like an FE game anymore

It followed in SGDQ, where people would comment on a female runner's legs or talk about the cute-voiced donation reader and try and find her twitter.
Maybe I'm just getting older and don't remember that I was such a slave to physical observations of people that I had to tell the world every time I found someone attractive in my early 20s, but jesus is it tough to read some threads sometimes.

Oh man, Nowi in Fire Emblem Awakening. I matched her up with Gregor, based purely on their well-written exchanges, but I could never shake how weird it felt marrying her off to him (or any of the adult males), because 1,000 years or not, she clearly looks like a kid dressed as a stripper.

But just posting screens of a creepy game (and later how it's been censored) isn't doing anything worthwhile, you're just advertising it.
No not really
That's Nowi. She is an immature acting 1,000 year old dragon that you can take as a wife and have a kid with. It's a little uncomfortable but nothing worth not playing the game for. Same with EO's character portraits. Yet the same sort of headache inducing "how could you play this?" stuff got into threads. It's good to know that mods will defend fans of games when the games warrant it though, instead of deleting threads and throwing the argument and source that caused it out of the forum entirely.

GAF is probably better off as a community when steering away from posting media and gushing about games where you smack little girls in the sexual bits. A line has to be drawn somewhere or we're just a fancier 4chan.

Yeah, I was, um, more than a little disturbed by the fucking Treehouse creepers from E3. We get a good thing and people are already trying to fuck it up.
If I were one of the treehouse team, after seeing some of the stuff in that thread, I wouldn't volunteer to be on next year's stream.
Would you say that representing pedophilia as a satisfying gameplay element isn't something that should be illegal?
Just a question.
Another question.
if these girls weren't animated, and we saw actual images of real 6 year olds exactly like that... being vilely punished in sexual ways as you touch them and being told you did it "perfect" or "really good"...
Would you still find the gameplay in the right?
ITT: I learned there are some sick-ass people in the world.
Not sure if serious. Random insults being slung around blindly is not a legitimate response to my points, thus, I cry "logical fallacy".

Yeah I was about to ask why people were giving FE of all things shit before I remembered Nowi.
Marriage system doesn't help.

So going by your logic (disagree with what you say, but will defend your right to say it), you are completely okay with NeoGAF having threads filled with hate speech directed towards certain groups?
Where exactly do you draw the line?

While I agree with the general sentiment you guys have had on the topic, it seems kind of limp-wristed to just dismiss logical fallacy arguments by saying, "yeah well we're just fuckin around here yennow." It's probably not best form to just outright generically insult other people.
It's a hard line in threads like these where some posters are dropping snark buckets while others are actually debating, granted.
they do tear-resistant posters for a lot of their stuff though. they had one for atelier totori and a bunch for some of their recent anime and games. like, even natural doctrine got a tear-resistant poster, and the image is a landscape.
edit: i agree about the time and eternity stuff though.
I thought people were talking about the summer bikini DLC when they first mentioned FEA, but then they pointed out Nowi and I was like, "Oh"

I'm not sure how I didn't hear about this, I'm not really sure what to say about it. Disabling chat sounds like a nice option for them, to be honest. It's a shame that people feel the need to actively publicize their thoughts like that in an area where it's hard to moderate your individual interactions. On social media like twitter, fine. I can choose who I follow and who follows me, but at least show some respect on a public soapbox.

The best part of when you first meet those two (before you find out that Nowi is 1000 years old) is that the dialogue even implies that that Gregor is some pedophilic creeper. I was like "wow, they actually went there."
Marrying her off to Ricken is the least-creepiest choice. I couldn't choose anyone else but him.

At least on 4chan people have enough shame to talk about these type of games behind anonymous identities.
Truth be told I'd love if 4chan would crack down on all that shit too. I really like the funnier light-hearted threads they have over there for like Smash and Mario Lore, but always someone has to introduce some creepy shit and ruin the fun.
Trivializing people who like sexually touching animated pedophilic drawings as they get feedback by audible moaning and visual feed back such as "great" and more... visuals is fair game.
Sickening.
Honestly though, if this wasn't animated how would you feel?
Ah, OK.
To be honest I like the idea of a tear-proof poster. And I like the idea of a waterproof poster as well, but not for the reasons I think they did it here, lol.

I am not seeing the "free speech" issue, here. NeoGaf is a closed community that has a man in charge who can say, do, add, delete, ban, unban anything he wants. This is not a democracy. He makes the rules. He can change them. If the powers that be decide a certain topic cannot be discussed then that topic is not going to be discussed. The fact that every mod on the planet has come here to try and at least explain what they are doing goes well above any anything that should be required of them and certainly there is no legal responsibility for them to explain their actions.
Those that fear a ban on the discussion of this game might lead to Bioware bans, and Cliffy B bans, you are correct. So what. If you feel this is not a place that is giving you the freedom you feel you deserve, or that your voice is being taken away by the man then go find another forum. The people that remain understand there are just some things that are not going to be tolerated whether you feel it is justified or not. Games that petict little looking girls being sexualized with spanking and/or whipping is just one of those things that a lot of the adult population has a problem with. Period. We are not standing on the street corner arguing over what one can do in the privacy of their own home we are on NeoGaf. A gaming forum. That is run by a guy who doesn't have to explain shit to you.

If I remember correctly Nowi's daughter even calls out her father for potential creepiness. At least they had some self-awareeness, lol.
What was worse for me is that with my pairings (Olivia x Chrom and Male Avatar x Lucina) I realized that I could have had Morgan marry her uncle. Unless they had some method of blocking that (I didn't let it get that far).

Whats with all the extremes and false equivalences from you? Your trying to make this an extreme by presenting this as an argument against sex in general. It's not. DoA is just sexual fanservice that is arguably sleezy. Yet, it sure dosen't present sequences where 12 year old Ayane is rubbing her clit and you're rubbing a cursor over her to punish her as she makes moaning noises.
Bioware's sex scenes go about as far as some backside.
None of this is as extreme as something like Criminal Girls. This is'nt an argument against sex either. You're trying to present these as all the same thing to make it seem like that. That's very disingenuous. Harmless fanservice and tame sex scenes between adults is hardly the same as sexual depections of minors.

One is a drawing and the another is a photo of an actual 6 year old being abused for the sake of sick men.
Or we are going to say that is the same thing a la Spec Ops and say: How many people killed today?
lol nice. This is the most convincing For argument yet.

Lightweights. I married her off to Kellam because fuck your delicate sensibilities.
He wrecked that. I doubt she was even able to walk after the honeymoon.

Here's...uhmm...Naruwaga!
She looks young, doesn't she? Fear not, she's from an ancient race of alien and she actually have 700 years old at this point.
Ironically, it's exactly the point in this race's lifetime where they reach their reproductive phase. So she's waiting for you to rub tons of shit on her and spank her with it as well.
It's okay guys, she's 700.

Um, read my posts. I've said I'm OK with the clearly defined rules of GAF. My post about "defend your right to say it" was in response to a question why I'm so defensive about this.

We'd all be deranged psycho's if our media suddenly became real. Would anyone be cool with it if actual people were being tortured in the SAW movies? Would it still be 'thrilling'?
This is one of the worst possible arguments, and we should all know it, with how Call of Duty (military war training program) is linked to every god damned shooting/suicide/hurt feeling/violence statistic by both liberals and conservatives
I don't have a horse in this race, but 'WHAT IF IT WAS REALZ' is the laziest shit

Sexualization and Objectification should be the words you should be keying. Punishment isn't the one you should focus on.

I've reviewed the thread and have yet to see why anyone would support this game.
It is that the game is of Japanese origins and gaijins just don't understand Japanese culture?
Is it that the game is virtual and thus has no bearing on real life?
What is a valid reason for not considering this beyond niche and into the territory of filth?

I'd never heard this prior to this thread, but I guess I've been misunderstanding it. I've definitely used it incorrectly in that case.
To the OT, I'm down with this type of moderation. NeoGAF, and its moderation policies do an excellent job of helping to cultivate a sense of community, but that doesn't mean every and all points of view need to be championed. I understand that this kind of thing can be a slippery slope, but setting certain standards of what content is and isn't ok, especially when we're talking about the extremes, is part of most systems of free speech. This is little different.

4chan mods couldn't crack down on anything if they tried. The problem with 4chan is that there are so many users and so few mods willing to stick with the job after trying to deal with it. In fact most people don't realize that it's against the rules to say racist things on any board besides /b/ (which is a containment board) People there just do it anyway because they know mods can't keep up.
The final battle and the seriousness behind it would be sorta ruined with a kid beloved as well. Something that's pretty neat is if your beloved is a merchant and they die, that could affect your post game.
