SHIFT UP's action game Stellar Blade is a day away from release and there's already been some controversy that isn't sexual for a change, as Sony says it will remove in-game artwork that shows ‘hard R' due to unintentional racism.
In Stellar Blade, there's an ‘R Shop' referencing the information broker Roxanne. There's also ‘Hard' graffiti that can be found in numerous parts of the game. However, there's one instance in Stellar Blade where the graffiti and R Shop are shown next to each other, showing what appears to reference a racist slur, which Sony claims was “unintentional.”
Sony provided a statement on the matter:
“The placement of two graphics near each other in Stellar Blade resulted in an unintentional objectionable phrase. Shift Up had no intention of creating offensive artwork and will be replacing the graffiti for the Day 1 patch.”
When asked if there are any plans to remove the art from the physical games as well, a PlayStation representative said that it “Should be removed for all users in the Day 1 update.”
The patch has since gone live and the ‘Hard R' artwork has since been changed to say ‘Crime' instead:

All of you fricking idiots were warned! But no “It's going to be uncensored”, “It's a based game guys!” Bunch of stupid fricking weebs, weebs are fricking laughing stock.
If you're a weeb, then you're calling yourself a subhuman who has no spine whatsoever.
Where's the lie?
You cope too much cute twink. KEEP YOURSELF SAFE you cuck
Ibought two copies because i have tons of money to spend unlike you, you born poor and will die as poor lmfao enjoy working 7$/hr at fast food
America is a mistake.
The corrupt West deserves to be nuked and obliterated completely.
Eastoids still bussyblasted at a lil' bit of nuke correction. 
And the idots were attacking you for stating the truth. This is why weebs are cucks. They live in their own little world like a filthy basement dweller.
!nonchuds I will remind you all that the reason why 4chan stays alive is because Hiro gets paid by research groups who want to study the link between anime and rightoid extremism.
Rightoids are beyond parody

Some of the bosses seem to be a huge health sponges, unless they have many stages and varied attacks I don't see how spending 10 minutes on a boss will be fun

The chuds' meltdown over the "censorship" over this game is a spectacle of unholy blight, looking at Grummz will turn even the most tolerant leftist into a genocidal physiognomist

The blight goes deeper. I decided to try out Shift Up's Nikke gacha for a bit and that brought me to the /vg/ threads for it. Every coomer gacha game has people circling it like vultures looking for any trace of censorship. Every content update gets people paranoid about censorship. They fear companies going public(which Shift Up is doing) because it means they'll be forced to kneel before the woke mob.
