Nikke tried to do this and the whales made them apologize and "rebuff" the characters

Twitter in 2023: My body, my rules.
Also Twitter in 2023: Female body is offensive.

Its amazing that people always forget that women also sexualize women lmao. My friend salivates over jing liu more than anyone I know

[sincerelynotme]

Now I'm not into sexual or risqué content but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the designs.

[just_a_turtle_chad]

Im usually against cancellation but censorship is never something thay should be supported.

[heavymetalmixer]

Killing one of their biggest selling points before the game comes out? That's gonna hurt their profits.

[Hman]

The thing that sucks the most about this is that censorship always has a snow ball affect and we don't know how bad this could get.
I never support censorship but once it starts there's no real way to stop it

[Pistachiosize]

For a game rated 16+ they sure do treat us like we're babies.

[AngelLee]

Anyone that blame Hoyo on the censorship clearly doesn't know about CCP regulation.
And for those that said they could have just censored the Chinese server and leave the rest of the servers uncensored, the last time they did that for Honkai Impact 3rd on of their founder almost got killed, look up Honkai Impact Bunny Girl incident.

Knowing what kowtowing does, very worrying. They’ll make you move one step at a time until you’ve walked a mile back

Those original animations were very expressive. I want to know more about a character like that. Those new animations make keep scrolling.

[Cloke]

Censorship is cringe, but on the comparison to Rosaria; her censorship was worse.

[Ultima]

This is like when people bake you a cake, then when it's placed in front of you, they shove your face in it, ruining the cake and preventing you from enjoying it.

[NewWave]

People are so caught up on Nicole being censored that they don’t realize other girls got censored too, but also scenes that were in beta 1 that depicted more violent and mature tones were censored too, or straight up removed. Pretty sad it’s not just fanservice, the game has lost some of its interesting matures themes.

[Remember_Bubblebutt]

Wow, they REALLY did my girl dirty. Already wasn't planning on playing ZZZ since I'm already on the Genshin/HSR boats, but my desire to get around to it someday has been reduced for sure.

[itsgab]

I don't mind the booby physics, but to dumb down the dynamic movement, camera angel, the liveliness and so on does kinda suck.
I'm still going to definitely play this game though! It's giving me shit I like which is genuinely unique character designs that aren't just the same models being used over and over again.

[Mikedot]

The only question I have to ask is this: If Nicole's chest and animations were so troublesome, why couldn't they have just given her modest proportions and animations in the first place? Why did Hoyoverse keep her this way for over a year in all of the ZZZ promo content, and the first closed beta test, just to change it all now?

Hell, even with their recent web event mini-game where you had to make sandwiches for various ZZZ characters, they had a chibi version of Nicole with a chest that was comically large. It was pretty much expected that her chest was one of the defining parts of her design, but now that expectation has been subverted in the worst way possible.

Seriously. I asked this question yesterday and I still want answers.

[CapitalTeeth]

The new animation is just a downgrade. The old one is more expressive and makes me actually want to look at the character, while the new one is boring and generic in comparison.

[ghostshrimp]

What was the point of designing her like that in the first place then,
are they stupid?

Edit: To be clear, i’m talking about the people that demanded the changes, the people working on these games are passionate and hard-working people, please direct your confusion and anger at the people responsible

[SUPAREALcutechickdGaming]

I'm trying to move away from gacha in general but I was afraid of this happening considering Hoyoverse games are still affected by CCP censorship and stuff. I agree with the comments about the censored animations lacking personality, and breasts aren't still.
