And this folks is how you implement these kinds of things. Options are always good!

Honestly if they "have" to do censorship this is the best way to do it.

They gave people the option to choose what they want. So the people who legit want to play Bayonetta and not experience the near nudity can enjoy it. And the people who only wanted Bayonetta to be fully censored (and were never going to play it anyway) to pressure another dev to fit their world view can stay mad.
Make no mistake, this will not please Twitter or resetera since we are getting the game we want.

This is probably the ideal route to go rather than directly changing assets based on potential regional sensitivity. It won't eliminate the usual complaints/thread shitting, but should ideally dampen it as they have options now.
Love the sarcastic title of the mode and the way that twitter message was written lol
Edit - Also, I wouldn't doubt if Platinum was trolling with this option too based on the complaints they typically heard (Given how Kamiya trolls on Twitter). I'm assuming this was probably a feature that was added near the end of the dev cycle as they were wrapping things up.

Epic/MS Gears of War...great to see this even though I won't use it. My son is 13. He has been exposed to far much worse in school and at a much younger age so I have no problem playing it in front of him.

Already saw someone complaining because the name of the mode is "patronizing".

This is absolutely hilarious. I'm not even mad at it but I find it super funny that it exist.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Given that the game is rated M, I feel like they could definitely get away with a lot more if a "Seductive Devil" mode were optional.

It's sad that they even had to do this, I mean, the game is rated M. It's why ratings exist. But, better safe than sorry I guess. Especially in this day and age where people can rage about anything and everything.

No I get that, I am mostly saying that there is no such thing as good or correct censorship.
This is I guess the best possible outcome given the circumstances though.

They want the celebration of naturally beautiful women to be out of media. If it still exists in the game then they consider the fight lost.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
My favorite kind of censorship is the one I can get rid of. Nice!

I like Bayonetta because it's a game that proves women can look beautiful by society standards and still be baddass and respected.

This is what they wanted to happen, they knew it wasn't enough. This mode is a direct middle finger to lunatics that are offended by digital (and real) T & A and they're already losing their minds over it.
They're all shaking

Platinum just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about character action game culture (I'm an expert), but absurd sexualization is a huge part of it. It's not like it is with other games where you can become successful by having a sexuality toggle. If you have a sexuality toggle in your character action game, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the character action game public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Bayonetta 3 for the Nintendo Switch, nor will they purchase any of Platinum's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Platinum has alienated an entire market with this move.
Platinum, publicly apologize and remove naive angel mode for Bayonetta 3 or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Copied this from Resetera, there are actually some funny people in that thread

Fujiko Mine is the female love interest on the long-running Lupin III anime. She's been a symbol of natural female beauty, femininity, sexuality, and female empowerment since the 1960s.

If I want to be courteous towards an unsuspecting guest I just won’t play the game.

My colleague ask if you can send a link to the original video for research purposes. He's trying to get his Masters.
