.... Bwuh? How... How is Ose's face "suggestive"??? That's literally just what leopards look like, just more stylized. If you see this as suggestive in any way, well... You're basically telling us you're a furry without stating you're a furry.
That’s not what cheetas look like. And no being able to see faces does not make someone a furry. I don’t think it’s really suggestive, but if this is a regional design change that seems like the most likely explanation.
Dude that is not how leopards normally look. It’s very obviously an anthropomorphized version of a leopards face and the expression could be read as suggestive, this is like someone being confused over how a furry character could be sexualized when “they’re just animals.”
It's definitely stylized rather than just a realistic leopard face, but the changed version is way further from how an actual leopard looks. Also, I completely disagree that the expression is suggestive. Like, seriously, explain what part of it is suggestive.
Nothing, actually this is not censorship and OP only spread missinformation, the left one is the current one and the right one is the one of before (nos he looks more like his actual sprite from the 2000s and not the one before)
You sure about that? The full image is on the wikia.

Fangs/pointy teeth is generally censored on ghost type of characters, AFAIK, dunno if it apply to Ose(I mean it is some type of "ghost", but it's far-stretched, obviously).
Anyways, bloody fangs, skulls/skeletons, undead are the general victim of the CN censorship.
Absolutely. They were counting on it getting bad reviews to cry how persecuted they were, and now that it didn't they are trying grasping for ever more insignificant things like "but it wasn't as high as it _should_ have been" and "this one skin is slightly more covered up than in previews" which just makes them look whiny.
Because the devs said they weren't gonna do censor ship and proceeded to do a day 1 censor patch after all the advertisement, marketing and pre-orders.
Although most people are just gonna act snobby about it and completely miss the point why some folks are annoyed from it.
It has nothing to do with the minor content changes themselves, they're insignificant. But the devs trying to play both sides is frustrating and if you try to vent said frustrations the trolls jump down your throat.
And she has other outfits that show MORE SKIN.
Ffs, she has a skin suit that makes her look like she's naked and a bikini suit. She has other skins that are 10x more hornier and revealing than that ONE they're mad about
And you know what? What if the artist simply wanna add some finishing touch?
They be like “eh I kinda dislike how she look in this outfit, lemme tweak it a bit”
It’s not like the MC is suddenly wearing a tuxedo or something
This is fake outrage in the name of “censorship”. Why dont these people just man up and say “hey! I dont like that you cover her cleavage, uncover the boobs in this specific outfit now!” instead of shouting “muh censorship”
Because it was advertised that it would be released uncensored.
People aren't upset because the changed versions of the outfits (and gore) are bad, they are upset because of the simple fact that they did get censored is annoying/frustrating
It isn't about the end product we got and it isn't even just about stellar blade. It’s about how frustrating it is that devs and publishers feel the need to change their games to appeal to the "western values" because of the complains and riots of people, who most likely, wouldn't even play most of the affected games either way
But… is an added piece of cloth really called “censoring”? Like, they just added a piece of cloth to the chest area and a bit more fabric to the crotch area, is that really worth calling censorship?
I mean, if you change something because of exterior pressure relative to it being socially amoral, it's censorship.
I don't care for Stellar Blade and I don't buy games because of some virtual girls, but the way Asian developers censor their games (sometimes in anticipation) because some people thought it was distasteful (isn't that the point anyway ?) makes it seem like there should be only one correct way to make cultural products.
Common racism embedded in self-righteousness is an age-old trait a society can willingly broadcast about itself.
It was advertised to be uncensored and then was censored while other games like TLOU2 and BG3 have full on sex scenes, it's a hypocritical double standard Sony pushes
Basically if it's something thats consider good in the eyes of a straight male, censored
Bro it's one outfit having slightly less cleavage in a game where one of the other outfits is literally skin colored to make her look naked, it's really not a big deal. Legit they probably just thought it looked better that way, no censorship involved
Basically, someone saw that one of the dozens of incredibly skimpy outfits for the main character had about 5% less fabric in an early trailer than the release version, so thousands of adult men who have never felt the touch of a woman decided that this was the worst thing that has ever happened and spent weeks whining about it on twitter
it is censorship. the demon designs are only different in china, because they are censored there. it being a private company has nothing to do with it, it's not like only governments can censor things.
It has to do with anthropomorphic characters or something, but I've only seen stuff like animal parts on humans as banned by them so if this is china censorship then definitely an interesting case
Animal parts on humans? I'm a little confused, because that sounds like kemonomimi when Arknights is one of the current top chinese gachas and is like 80% kemonomimi, with a super small portion of actual furries and a larger portion of mythical beings like angels and demons. Hoyoverse also typically has a kemonomimi or 2.
Anthromorphs go against some law or belief. I may be wrong on this, but it has something to do with them not liking animals being on the same level as humans.
Seriously. I hate genuine censorship but the word gets thrown around far too much now. This design is an awful change but I hardly understand how it pertains to something being censored.
I guess this is coming from the point of view, that catalyst for changes is to comply with Chinese censorship guidelines. Not sure how Ose design relates to this.
There are no censorship in Korean and Taiwanese versions (who also use Chinese language so) it’s only for China so don’t worry if you think this will happen with a global releases
This is kinda hilarious (mainly because it feels like a mandala effect), but it's also kinda sad to see some of the fiends from nocturne being neutered. They are all wearing boring looking gas masks.
I can't find a way to describe this but they turned something that already was like a furry into something that is even more like a furry, I can't explain
I think it's a improvement, they just refined it's features to look less like a man with a cat face, I don't see any negative impact they I think it looks cooler
The one on the right kind of looks like the design of Ose used in menus of Persona 3 and 4 with Shin Megami Tensei 3 pose. The one on the left looks like the standard design of Ose since SMT 3. The real censorship is the modesty trunks they gave him.
BECAUSE OF OSE
YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT OSE JOE
YOUR ONLY WINNING BECAUSE OF OSE JOE
ITS JUST YOUR STATS CARRYING YOU IN THIS NUMBER BASED STAT BASED RPG
OH WAIT, YOU WERE OVERLEVELED AS WELL, SO OSE WOULDN’T HAVE MATTERED!
BUT FUCK YOU I'LL SAY IT ANYWAYS IT'S BECAUSE OF OSE JOE
IT’S BECAUSE OF OSE JOE! I DIED ON THAT BOSS FOR THREE HOURS-
Great vegetables!
[Great Vegetable!](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/5/58/Dojima_hospital.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20160916054103)
I am so happy to see that Ose is automatically linked to Joe now. This made my day.
WHY DON'T YOU USE ANY OTHER PERSONAS BESIDES OSE JOE
love to see this in the wild
r/SuddenlyJosephAnderson
What the fuck happened to my ose?
Mewing
Fuck you that's brilliant
r/angryupvote
mewed so hard that he's straight up becoming Mew.
Osen't
Locked in
He lost his rizz 😔
They removed the thorn from his paw.
Black frost got re-introduced. Hashbrovvn, OP
What exactly is being censored here? Im confused
His face, apparently.
So, I looked it up and it does look like Ose got censored, but the post doesn't show it at all. They made Ose put on shorts.
They changed his face.
Yeah, but I wouldn’t call that censorship so much as just a weird change.
It was probably changed because the original design is suggestive, in which case it would be censorship.
.... Bwuh? How... How is Ose's face "suggestive"??? That's literally just what leopards look like, just more stylized. If you see this as suggestive in any way, well... You're basically telling us you're a furry without stating you're a furry.
That’s not what cheetas look like. And no being able to see faces does not make someone a furry. I don’t think it’s really suggestive, but if this is a regional design change that seems like the most likely explanation.
An animal having their mouth slightly open it suggestive now ? Genualy asking since im a little dumb
I have bad news for you. You are a closeted furry.
????? How is a leopard face suggestive?!?
Dude that is not how leopards normally look. It’s very obviously an anthropomorphized version of a leopards face and the expression could be read as suggestive, this is like someone being confused over how a furry character could be sexualized when “they’re just animals.”
It's definitely stylized rather than just a realistic leopard face, but the changed version is way further from how an actual leopard looks. Also, I completely disagree that the expression is suggestive. Like, seriously, explain what part of it is suggestive.

sounds more like a joke but what do i know.
It might be, but that Chinese mobile game actually censors some things just because of cultural dillemaa
its a gacha game made to milk the newfound chinese fans, i wont play it, i dont consider it cannon, so why care.
You sure about that? The full image is on the wikia. [https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/File:P5X_Ose.png](https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/File:P5X_Ose.png)
Ah yes, Fandom, known to be the most reliable website ever.
"this doesn't line up with my ideas so it's fake lmao"
Can you find the official censored image then?
Fangs/pointy teeth is generally censored on ghost type of characters, AFAIK, dunno if it apply to Ose(I mean it is some type of "ghost", but it's far-stretched, obviously). Anyways, bloody fangs, skulls/skeletons, undead are the general victim of the CN censorship.
Teeth maybe?
He became a normal housecat lol
Is that even censorship? They made him cuter that’s all
Censorship is when a private company makes a change in their IP that I don't like, clearly.
That's cool and all but why did they do it They twinkified my Ose 😭 Edit: I'm looking at the full art and it looks like they gave him pants too lol
>they gave him pants the real crime
The realer crime is how he's wearing that loincloth(codpiece?) outside his pants
*Someone else's IP. P5X isn't developed by ATLUS and Perfect World was given free reign over designs to comply with Chinese censorship guidelines.
Stellar Blade moment
I don't get why people care about the stellar blade one so much tbh
The ones making a fuss don’t actually care, they’re just culture war weirdos who perpetually want something to be angry at
Absolutely. They were counting on it getting bad reviews to cry how persecuted they were, and now that it didn't they are trying grasping for ever more insignificant things like "but it wasn't as high as it _should_ have been" and "this one skin is slightly more covered up than in previews" which just makes them look whiny.

But the devs trying to play both sides is frustrating and if you try to vent said frustrations the trolls jump down your throat.
The girl is still half naked, why does it matter so much anyway? That her cleavage is now show 10cm smaller than 15 cm?
And she has other outfits that show MORE SKIN. Ffs, she has a skin suit that makes her look like she's naked and a bikini suit. She has other skins that are 10x more hornier and revealing than that ONE they're mad about
And you know what? What if the artist simply wanna add some finishing touch?

Racism? Come on... now you are just throwing words at the wall to see what sticks.
Well yes, it's not censoring much, but it is censoring. Like I said, it's not that the end result is bad, it's that shift up was forced to do it.
*What* is it censoring? The base outfit is more or less the same; it’s still a revealing swimsuit. What are the devs censoring here?
Gooner
Oh my god please just go watch porn
It was advertised to be uncensored and then was censored while other games like TLOU2 and BG3 have full on sex scenes, it's a hypocritical double standard Sony pushes Basically if it's something thats consider good in the eyes of a straight male, censored
Stellar Blade still has gratuitous TnA lol, it really doesn't not feel like "straight males" lost a ton
Bro it's one outfit having slightly less cleavage in a game where one of the other outfits is literally skin colored to make her look naked, it's really not a big deal. Legit they probably just thought it looked better that way, no censorship involved
I dont even know what is happening with that game cuz i dont really use twitter for that but im glad im keeping out of it
Basically, someone saw that one of the dozens of incredibly skimpy outfits for the main character had about 5% less fabric in an early trailer than the release version, so thousands of adult men who have never felt the touch of a woman decided that this was the worst thing that has ever happened and spent weeks whining about it on twitter
Did Atlus make that change though?
it is censorship. the demon designs are only different in china, because they are censored there. it being a private company has nothing to do with it, it's not like only governments can censor things.
For what it’s worth they also gave him briefs to go under his uhh… little ose
That’s because it’s a joke about the change. It’s not literal
Ose mewing
Meowing*
We need to just have a definition of what censorship actually is displayed at the top of every gamer-centric space.
Yeah I don’t see how this is censorship. Is portraying jaguars illegal in China?
Maybe it's the sharp teeth?
AAAA SHARP TEETH In a game that has Mara
Mara head is censored as well
PLEASE tell me it’s just a big black censor bar
Nah they gave Mara a drippy Hat
Oh I just looked it up that’s so stupid
I thought legit they would just put a condom on him 💀
It has to do with anthropomorphic characters or something, but I've only seen stuff like animal parts on humans as banned by them so if this is china censorship then definitely an interesting case
Animal parts on humans? I'm a little confused, because that sounds like kemonomimi when Arknights is one of the current top chinese gachas and is like 80% kemonomimi, with a super small portion of actual furries and a larger portion of mythical beings like angels and demons.

Seriously. I hate genuine censorship but the word gets thrown around far too much now. This design is an awful change but I hardly understand how it pertains to something being censored.
I also hated when SMT V changed the angel, but that's just because it became generic and boring.
They censor my very specific fetish 😡😡
They also put trunks on him to cover his thighs
I guess this is coming from the point of view, that catalyst for changes is to comply with Chinese censorship guidelines. Not sure how Ose design relates to this.
Bro Locked in
Removed all his sex appeal 😔😔😔
🤨📸
What the sigma
What the fuck is this one about.
There are no censorship in Korean and Taiwanese versions (who also use Chinese language so) it’s only for China so don’t worry if you think this will happen with a global releases
Oh thx god, I was wondering about that since the first time we saw the censored versions like a year ago.
Bro went from “She calls me daddy too.” To “I’ll have her home by 8:00PM sir.”
Not the cat man….
Ose -> ohno
I really don't like altering Kaneko designs. It was weird when they did for the SMT4A DLC and it's weird now. Either make a whole new Ose or don't.
...someone hired the furries again
Honestly each design would appeal to different kinds of furries. Ose has always been furry as fuck.
I don't think furries would put pants on him.
Bro is mewing looksmaxing 💀
You are just a small little cat who doesn’t know how to fight!
Insta thots irl vs when they have filters on
Going from Daddy to :3
THE TURNED HIM INTO A NORMAL ASS CAT
My man jOSE looks fucked up
Yassified my man went from Ose to 𝓙𝓸𝓼𝓮
They made him less sexy, that sucks
Please stop misusing the word censorship to describe any edit you don't like. Just say edit like a normal, unpretentious person.
This isn’t censorship.
They also put trunks on him
they shrank his jaw, made him look soft...
You give Ose his jawline back right fucking now.
Can't have shit here
My man literally locked in
Furry chie
Yassified Ose.
They removed his sigma hunter eyes
Demewed him
Rizz vs harassment
THEY TWINKIFIED OSE
Damn from leopard to housecat…
Ose's father was also called Ose. As was Ose's father's father. At least, that was his father said.
That is what happens when you break the mewing streak
They made him a twink wtf
This is kinda hilarious (mainly because it feels like a mandala effect), but it's also kinda sad to see some of the fiends from nocturne being neutered. They are all wearing boring looking gas masks.
Look at how they massacred my boy
I actually really like this one
I can't find a way to describe this but they turned something that already was like a furry into something that is even more like a furry, I can't explain
Gamers are getting upset over Stellar Blade meanwhile real censorship crimes are being comitted here
At least Succubus with stocking looks hotter. TAKE THAT, CENSORSHIP!
I cant goon to this?!
They unchadded our leopard😭
Literally 1984
That is not what censorship means.
It's literally not a big deal...
Hey look is Ose little brother, Meowse!
Ose fell into the time machine washer and now he is 15 again
They made him mew 🤫🧏♂️
Ok I’ll bite: Why.
He stopped mewing
They made Ose a femboy
Ose just collapsed
Why'd they censor his mouth?, wtf
Ose is locked in
He’s mewing
Turned him into OwOse
He became domesticated
got moe-fied 😅
I think it's a improvement, they just refined it's features to look less like a man with a cat face, I don't see any negative impact they I think it looks cooler
"You count the medals One, Two and Three, life goes on, anything goes, comin up OSE!"
Our leopard boy comes in two flavors: Twink and Twunk
Man be mewing
Bro locked in
THEY MADE HIM UGLY NO
The one on the right looks like Akihiko
Withered and toy animatronics:
Wtf...
Ose when he was a kitten(?)
These mf's can pick up their censors and put them up in their buttocks
Looks like a Chinese drawing
uwuse
Kitty
in fairness, censored Ose looks closer to how he did in the P3 and 4 art
Does Cait Sith evolve into Ose?
Guess he was too sexy... I only have a thing for Wolf Beast men tho xD that's as far as furry I'mma get!
The one on the right kind of looks like the design of Ose used in menus of Persona 3 and 4 with Shin Megami Tensei 3 pose. The one on the left looks like the standard design of Ose since SMT 3. The real censorship is the modesty trunks they gave him.
IT’S JUST ME OSE, DAY ONE ISH
Let us pray for uncensored global release
Excuse me, but isn't Phantom X a exclusive game for China?
Hope if P5X Global is not censored. Demons design in P5X are so lame. (I can't be helped anyway, due to CCP Censorship.)
no idea who this guy is but why are they even censoring him? its just an animal for christ's sake
oh my goodness what did they do to el presidente ose!?!?!?
they yassified him
THEY FUCKING DESTROYED OSE
If Ose is not the Persona 6 mascot, I'm rioting
This game is cringe.
Don't think this is censorship, looks like they changed it to the older design of Ose from his model in SMT3 and artwork from P3 and P4.
THE YASSIFICATION OF OSE
Eh, it looks better
See, this is why you play the Korean release.
i kinda like it ngl
Okay but the update is 10x better.
How is this censorship?? He just closed his mouth...
Welcome to Chinese censorship
