Overshadowed by Controversy: Difference between revisions

* The [[Vaporware|eternally delayed]] [[Animesque]] stealth action indie game ''[[Yandere Simulator]]'' solicited controversy for its graphic and sexually explicit content, as the game involves killing or maiming those whom the player character believes is monopolizing her senpai's attention. Besides its violence, whom creator YandereDev cites the ''[[Hitman]]'' series as a major influence, its sexual themes was seen by some as concerning owing to its high school setting which may give out [[Ephebophilia|ephebophilic]] undertones; YandereDev maintains that, despite the supposedly juvenile setting and glaring evidence to it, none of the characters in the game are minors. Said controversy made ''Yandere Simulator'' a total pain in the rear to stream uncensored on sites such as Twitch or YouTube, due to the game's premise falling afoul of said platforms' terms of service. YandereDev wasted no time to shoot back at those who banned his game from being streamed online, citing "[[Censorship Bureau|self-righteous ideologues]]" for the ban.

** The game has become mired in many a controversy since, with the repeated delays themselves now among them - this has spawned at least [https://twitter.com/BeforeYandere one account on Twitter] dedicated to chronicling events that took place before while Yandere Simulator 'finishes' development. For the record, it began development in '''2014'''.
