The reason why the whole "It's your job to raise your kids" line doesn't resonate with many people (even those amongst the BASED population) is because none of these faggots actually have kids, and the ones that do, have consumed so much media, and have been effectively raised by it, that they pass along the buck to those who produce it, who, afraid to lose profits, oblige.
And let's get one thing straight here, they don't want to censor shit out of some moral obligation or some niggling parental instinct, they're fine with violence and sex as long as the context fits their agenda (DRUMBF BAD, RIGHT WING BAD, MURDER THEM, IT'S OKAY) (LOVING INTIMACY BAD, STRAIGHT RELATIONSHIPS BAD, ANAL SEX, AND PROMISCUITY ONLY) Literally the best product to exemplify this would be "The last of us II" which, from what we seen so far, has carpet munching amoral kike dykes, and a women killing men violently by the boatload, with absolutely no sign of censorship hitting it.

Well it's a good thing we have that ratings system in place to keep kids from being exposed to things before they're ready, right? Oh, I forgot, 90% of parents don't even pay attention to the media their kids consume, while a lot of the rest know and just don't care. Plenty of 8-year olds play M-rated games. They probably shouldn't but they do. "Muh children" is a bullshit reason to lock down the whole console, but Sony needs need to mitigate the PR hit they're taking. You're not against protecting the children, are you goyim?

One of core ideals of leftism is that a person is shaped purely through his experiences. As such, leftists staunchly believe that if they control all the media and entertainment and dissolve the family unit, in other words have control over almost all of a child's experiences, they can ensure that the child will grow up to be another leftist. The goal is to have all of humanity be leftist through social engineering and total government oversight. And you wonder why leftists think their propaganda games should raise kids instead of their parents.

I don't know what's worse, the censorship or the fact that they don't even have the guts to come clean about their intentions. 'Think of the children,' what a load of steaming horse shit.

It always starts with things like these that make the drastic action seem reasonable and justified in the first place, then they start going after more and more things until you're basically a mental prisoner.

This never works, because the enemy's stated principles are not their real principles. Their only real principles are the destruction of beauty and the glorification of ugliness. At best you'd separate a few of their useful idiots, but the situation is so clear by now that I don't think there are many of those left.
An explicit lesbian sex scene is praiseworthy if the participants are ugly jewesses or sheboons, but if they're cute anime girls it must be destroyed. Does anyone seriously doubt that at this point? Do you actually believe that the first wouldn't be allowed on consoles (maybe with some censorship to comply with local laws in some jurisdictions, but nothing more than that), or that the second would?

Yes, it's patently obvious this is nothing but a witch hunt power play and that's part of why I made my suggestion because it's something that can be easily pointed out without looking like a loon.

It's the PS4 being the main problem here, otherwise Sony consoles/handhelds have always been excellent systems. I have a PSOne, PS2 Slim and Vita which replaced my PSP once the h-encore hack was out that I still regularly use, alongside with a DSLite and PC. The Switch is imo wholly unappealing for the moment (price of system and accessories, no compatibility of any sort with previous game libraries, build quality and design flaws, to name the main reasons). Gotta wait two or three years to see if things improve on Nintendo's side, especially with the sudden Sony's international policies in play.

Bunch of double standard hypocrites. There's only one thing they have on their mind when it comes to children, and it sure as hell isn't their safety. All the more reason to stop funding the beast that is the gaming industry, and let it starve to death so it can be reborn as something better, learning from the mistakes of the past.

As of yet nothing palpable because Soyny's new rules include putting the squeeze on them to not squeal and all problems with the censoring are going to be appraised by the ones doing the censoring.
Most specific things we got were Atlus' Studio Zero saying there's no light shows on Catherine FB which felt like a snake-y way of saying the game's getting censored in other ways and now Senran producer basically said back to the drawing board with SK7, they gotta rethink things because of the rules.

By the time it launches it will be at the back of most people's minds. Instead of censoring games they might not even release them for PS5. I have a feeling devs will have to shift to Nintendo for lewds, which I don't mind. It's not like galgames require that much horsepower to play.

If you just look at the gaming divisions, Sony has gone full steam ahead on censorship, given the reigns to their California branch, interfered with games being made for their consoles, and even outright killed one third party's game localization that was already midway in development. Nintendo has decided to go after rom sites, continue to dmca fan content, and get into the kikery of day 1 dlc and paid online. Meanwhile, the only thing of note Microsoft has done lately is make backwards compatability patches for original xbox and 360 games. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft is a shit company in general, and the xbox one itself is a shit console without games. However, we live in such a shitty world that Microsoft is starting to look like an okay brand when compared to their competition. They've learned to shut the fuck up and fly under the radar.

I dont recall many japanese games actually requiring a tremendous amount of firepower, besides the Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza games and EDF (the fifth one only runs well on the PS4 Pro without harsh framerate dips).

Microsoft used the same kind of bullshit, during the X360 days, on niche/local jap devs that forced them to emigrate to Sony for good. See the Gal*Gun video from censored gaming. That recent last Microsoft/Xbox conference held at Mexico did show the company is focused on spics and other third-worlders, and Squeenix is also more interested on the "international audience" than the japanese local market.

"Parental Advisory" labels mean fuck-all, and in fact - tend to promote products to the very kids that they're claiming to protect by signaling to the little wannabe edgelords that it's got edgy content. Considering that we're dealing with digital products - if there was only some way we could, I dunno, put a software check in place that references the age rating on the game and prevents it from being booted up by non-verified accounts if the parental restriction level is set.
Oh, right… they fucking DO, and it has been in place for well over a decade now.
I wouldn't even be so upset at this shit if they just layered the censorship so that it's included in every game but only applied when certain conditions of the Parental Controls are met.
Don't have the parental controls set? Then it's all uncensored.
Set to Teen mode? Then you get hard curse words, explicit nudity and sexual content censored. But still can see some of the lower-end softcore content and soft-curses which are uncensored.
Set to child mode? Costumes are altered, curses removed, restricted scenes/content, no blood/gore, the whole shabang.
It would be a lot of extra work for developers, but better than just outright banning games, restricting sales, fucking up deadlines by rejecting approval pending alteration, etc.

Part of the issue may be just a general aversion to carnality and passion in the general public that allows this shit to go on. Nudity in art gets a pass, but a Hustler centerfold does not. Why? Because one is intended to tittilate, the other is not. HBO can show dry passionless stage-fucking on TV, but softcore amateur porn does not. Even beyond sexual content, violence is fine if it's staged and shot tastefully, but people are disturbed and offended by the raw and dirty displays of actual violence.
People are so used to decoupling art and fictional depictions from the acts which inspire them, that removing that filter and having fun with passion and carnality is seen as dirty and low-brow - whereas those same scenarios can be done in a way that only references those emotions but does not engage with them that people will accept and consider cultured.
Tiddy games are highly fictionalized, but they're intended to tittilate - so they engage with real carnality in a way that is similarly disturbing to most people. And the worst part is that we've been so saturated in media for the last century that we're collectively and increasingly turning to it as the new reality. Which only feeds into the hollowness and existential anxiety most people feel, and the willingness to forego real human interaction for the sanitation and safety of television, facebook, and soon - video games. They've been pushing for a long time, but the interactive nature of games has made it more resilient than other forms of media. And, of course, the internet as well is under the same pressure. They won't be happy until the Wild West is tamed and settled and nothing genuine exists there anymore.

>parents are just too lazy to protect their own kids from Jewry
The problem with your logic is that your kids (presuming for the sake of argument) live within a society effected by the media they consume. That means if you want to effectively protect your children from all the potential corrupting elements then you essentially need to prohibit your children from even having friends because a child's peer group is on of the most influential element in childhood development. That means no only do you have to curate what your child watches but you have to curate what friends your children have. This would not be such a huge issue if people still lived in homogeneous ethnic communities where the general population had the same religious and moral foundations but we live in a world of "multiculturalism" where the luxury of presuming everyone is decent and moral is not afforded. This also mean you must curate what schools your child attends and many many unforeseen factors that are impossible for a parent to predict. You might argue that one ought to take a laissez faire approach to child rearing, but I would argue that it would be neglectful if taken to the extreme nessisary to deal with the world as it is. This is to argue that there is defiantly a need for tools and common guidelines for decency in a public space. This, by the way, is also not an argument in favor of censorship of explicitly adult content, but rather an appeal for a common decency for those products considered wholesome for the general population.
I would argue the problem in this instance, is not the decency laws in and of themselves, but rather the globalization of decency laws that ignore the particularities of each culture or their customs. I would argue that Globalism is in this sense a bigger issue because the ubiquitous nature of the universalized proposition means that the rules must be so generalized an inoffensive that any semblance of creativity must be stifled. While moral guidelines are a useful and often necessary tool (just as there are rules that govern this image board), those rules ought to be localized by regional magistrates and not imposed from a top down depersonalized and bureaucratic authority who does not know what is or is not best for the distinct and differentiated communities.

>The reason why the whole "It's your job to raise your kids" line doesn't resonate with many people (even those amongst the BASED population) is because none of these faggots actually have kids, and the ones that do, have consumed so much media, and have been effectively raised by it, that they pass along the buck to those who produce it, who, afraid to lose profits, oblige.
Or maybe, just maybe - you have a combination of women in the workforce with two working parent households who have no time for this shit, and the ones who do have time - usually spend it on themselves to kill the drudgery of every day juggling of a 9-5 job and coming home to a 24/7 job, just to raise a bunch of little parasites who are naturally too young to understand in the slightest what their parents have to sacrifice in order to raise them. So they plunk the little fuckers down in front of the shut-up box with bright flashy colors and then go off to do their own thing until shit gets out of hand and they have to intervene. So you have a generation of kids raised on media who are similarly raising their own kids on media.
Not that media will really effect their kids, no more than violence in video games will make their kids violent themselves - but they WILL adopt behaviors from their friends, and in this current culture of brand-tribalism and cults of personality - kids will mimic their favorite brands/personalities around other kids in order to fit in, and if the parents can't even be bothered to raise their kids without the TV as a babysitter, then there's no way they're going to be motivated enough to really pay attention to and correct behavior that goes on between the kids group of friends. It's just another outlet for them to fuck off and leave the parent to peace and quiet so they can do their own thing before having to haul their ass back into the office/factory.
What's really sad is that in a lot of these cases, it was the parent's own narcissim which spawned this semi-unwanted kids to begin with. I know people who have good jobs but have bred themselves into poverty, and have to take WIC despite both parents making a decent salary. Nearly the entirety of their budgets go to supporting the day to day of these kids, with little to nothing put back for major accidents or even funding constructive hobbies, let alone their futures. Not to mention that many of these people I know get all high and mighty about recycling and eco-friendly green technology - yet didn't think for a second the amount of waste and resource consumption the average human being creates (especially a first world/American lifestyle) before spawning half a dozen new rabid consumers. And why have so many kids? Because they wanted to have more. They wanted the attention they get during pregnancy. They wanted the bigger place at the table for family functions. They wanted the "dream" of a big family. Sacrifice isn't always done for purely altruistic reasons. Sometimes, it's done for reasons of pure self-interest.
