There is one hiccup though - Skullgirls is raunchy. It has girls in purposefully lewd costumes, violence, and a lot of dark themes. And in not the conventional "haha look how silly this is" way you'd find in modern adult animation. So if you, for instance, wanted to make a cartoon for the general audience, this NEEDS to be toned down. Not just Filia's panty shots or what have you, but everything - unsavory references, gore, etc. For instance, a scene where a pig cop beats up a black man on the street might bother your future partners. And so would an entire faction of people wearing pretty unambiguous red-on-black armbands. It's not something you'd want in your new marketable (and cartoony, which is very important) media franchise, especially if there's even a chance that you could sell it to the kids. And so, the editing process begins. Butts covered, armbands removed, beaten black men moved out of frame. Nice and clean. And naturally, you can't just deliver this to your current audience as-is, they'll call you a corporate sellout. And this is not the reputation you'd want for your co-op indie development team with a goddamn rainbow on their logo. So, you spin it as much as you can. For example, you can say that your creative vision has shifted, and certain content has undermined the many things that make Skullgirls truly unique and special. Of course, this is all hogwash and you know it, but your friends at Polygon will do their best to sell it, and it doesn't really matter who buys it as long as the future financial partners do. The future for Skullgirls is brighter than ever indeed. tl;dr - Do not assume complex agendas in places where good old-fashioned corporate greed can explain everything. ☐ Anonymous 06/30/23(Fri)00:22:45 No.642443924 >>642444330 >>642432804 This is pants-on-head retarded. The "IT'S JUST FOR MONEY" argument is a given. The agenda is backed up by money via ESG and under threat of financial ruin through other avenues. That doesn't dismiss the politically slanted pandering, it's just the mechanism behind it.

Greed is now an agenda, so ESG is to blame anyway
