I think I've had it with stuff like this being censored. If this isn't something about trying to reach a certain age rating (which let's face it is dumb because age ratings aren't stopping kids from buying call of duty) then I'm not buying the game. The people they are trying to please by removing this... 99% of them aren't going to buy the game, all they've done is piss off Street Fighter fans.
Do I care about the butt slap? Yes and No. It's more of a principal thing now. I can't support developers that censor stuff because a few people kicked up a fuss.

I'm annoyed with all censorship. I'm happy the game gets out at all but I can't help but be reminded that censorship is about the money, and that makes me sick. Children are the number one demographic to market to and if you can't sell "mature" game to them, remove that maturity, and what your left with isnt always what you would expect. I have played games and seen movies that make me turn to my wife and ask "This is supposed to be kid friendly? This movie is really dark." It's not even worth going to the theater to go see the more "kid friendly" version, if you have to see it again when the "Unrated Version" comes out on dvd. Some of that "Unrated" stuff is just a marketing ploy and excuse to put some extra blood in but my point is... well... who's to trust?
It's a kids world and I'm not a kid anymore. Maybe if I was 13 I would be in entertainment nirvana right now, but anymore, I have to do alot of research just to avoid being mislead by marketing and censorship. I know when I was a kid I accepted things for what they were and hoped mom and dad would get everything on my Christmas list. Today, I don't have a Christmas list. I must be getting old. lol
It's very obvious that much of the world still sees video games as a kids hobby, and because of this, we are going to grow up, but our favorite video games won't. Whether growing up means becoming darker and more mature while delivering classic gameplay, or publishers having the dignity to stop trying to drink from the dry well, it's so important that a company knows their audience, and it's extremely condescending and I would even call it insulting that WE are the older crowd and not the target audience, when we are the most vocal and passionate about it.
It's fucking (money) bullshit how some publishers and developers seem to completely ignore anything that isn't a current trend, THAT is why we have so many patches and free DLC to put shit in the game that should have been in the game in the first place. Staple features like split-screen and single-player campaigns are absent from more and more games, because those are older features, of older games, and for old people. WTF!?!
Kids today expect different things from a video game. They expect every FPS to have ADS and regenerating health as much as they expect a toy that will unlock extras within the game. Yeah! That's all fine and well, but WHY is this happening to franchises that have remained relatively unchanged, and successful for years if not decades? Why is the industry slowly shutting us out and making us feel irrelevant?
Maybe they should stop going after the easy profit on children, and actually make a game that gamers of all ages can enjoy without the feeling that something is missing, oversimplified, or censored.

If you replace the word SJW with "commie" the internet looks a whole lot like 50's America. The term has become as hollow as....erm....a really hollow thing.

Also that aint censorship, they changed the shot a bit. It's no more censored than the theatrical release of LOTR was to the extended cut.

An outside group took offence to something in the game and got it changed (unless this is ESRB/PEGI which is doubtful or an internal choice in Capcom and we are getting new animations) that's what happened and that's the definition of censorship. Is it a small change yes, but the fact that it is SJW's that complained that's what really annoyed me. I liked Cammy's and Chun Li's new faces, the majority of fans didn't and Capcom changed it. Am I annoyed? No.

I don't like the term SJW because it get's attached to people that aren't SJW's. Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes aren't SJW's. Yeah they have similar view points but they don't follow a weird code of "everything is sexist, everything is racist and everything is homophobic." I wish they weren't called Social Justice Warrior's because that should be good but they take it so far it doesn't benefit everyone.

They are just crusaders that go nothing more productive to do with their life than save people from themselves. That's not bad, but these particular people are impeding peoples creativity and artistic freedoms.
