Nintendo Censoring Fire Emblem "Gay Conversion" Scene (to the shock of no-one) http://naplesherald.com/2016/01/21/nintendo-censoring-fire-emblem-fates-drugging-scene-in-localized-versions/ archive: https://archive.is/KquBq So, I'd heard about this 'controversy' before (several months back) when some feminist bloggers slung shit about it while some Fire Emblem fans did their best to point out they were entirely wrong in their analysis.  And, just reading the summary of it (which is shockingly plain and unbiased in its presentation in this article), I have to say, cutting the nose to spite the face level of scrutiny is being applied to this scene.  It is unique, interesting, and is the sort of thing I'd play a game like this for.  But its being removed cause certain adult babies can't have even a hint of an assault on (a rather arcane element) their worldview.  A gay person becoming Bi (at the furthest you can stretch your intentional umbrage of this scene) is being construed in the same light as a Christain being fed to lions if they don't raise incense to Jupiter (Androcles and the Lion reference there, you're welcome). A scene that is remarkable mostly due to its originality and the ability to take it in about a dozen different lights depending on your mood, has been whitewashed to the point of inconsequence as far as anyone knows.  Nintendo has not said they removed it (interestingly) or even that they changed it.  But they have stated that there is no possibility of mistaking it for 'gay conversion' in their localization.  Meaning they changed it or axed it, we know.
