Being a gamer in Australia can often be a difficult task, what with the countries very strict ratings board, with many games not reaching it’s shores.
Well it just seemed to have gotten a just a bit more difficult for Australian gamers, as EB Games has pulled both Gal Gun: Double Peace and Senran Kagura Estival Versus from store shelves.
The reason for the removal of both games appears to be quite unclear, with no official reason given as to why both games were removed.
The only statement given as of now was given to Stevivor, with the EB Games Australia representative saying this:
Australians who are 18 years or older have the right to make their own choices about what video games they play,” an EB representative told Stevivor via statement.We assess our product range on a regular basis using a number of key business factors, including sales rates. In this instance we have made the decision to no longer stock these products.The extremely small number of customers who have an existing preorder are still able to collect their copy of these titles.
The representative clarified that the games would not be stocked in stores with the exception of the pre-orders. The statement implies that the games aren’t banned within the country, but rather the decision was corporate.
To make matters stranger, it appears EB Games has gone as far as to call customers who’ve purchased the game to return it with a promise of a full refund, if this Reddit post is anything to go by.
Gal Gun: Double Peace is slated to release on August 2nd in North America for the PS4 and PS Vita.

July 27, 2016 at 11:10 pmMost likely some store owners are trying ask for refunds to then resell them in store somehow or make more money some other way these copies are gonna become really rare with that decision

July 27, 2016 at 11:21 pmI imported these so I still got them but SJW Feminazi Bullshit this is, how come extreme violence is OK but anything sexual in games are immediately shunned and your branded as an outcast/pervert? This has become the norm in western culture and it has to stop. Censorship because of ” Mur western values” is insulting to Japanese developers, If you don’t like it that’s fine DON’T PLAY IT SIMPLE AS THAT sigh. F****** SJW/Feminazi/Nanny country/ culture we live in -__-

While it is a policy that games can be refunded there wasn’t a directive at my store to call customers about that, only to sell it out to people who preordered. I’d say that was either the sole store’s decision or it’s a fabrication.

July 28, 2016 at 1:51 amWait a minute, wait a fucking minute here. Australia is supposed to have an 18+ rating system yet you’re depriving adults of a said product despite saying that adults have the freedom to buy whatever they want? Wow I feel sorry for me fellow Aussie otaku’s out there. Hey EB Games did it ever occur to you to just oh I don’t know LET ADULTS BUY THE FUCKING PRODUCTS THEY WANT WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE COLOSSAL HYPOCRITES!
Here’s a thought, why not just keep the games behind the counter and only let adults buy them and get proper ID from those who look underage. Unless the parent in person gives the employee permission to purchase the title. That’s a lot better than just throwing out everything with the bathwater. But then again that would actually take effort lazy motherfuckers.

July 28, 2016 at 2:25 amThis is at least one thing the US is doing okay at. Sure, a few sensitive whiners might complain, but ultimately their bellowing amounts to nothing. In Australia the state steps in because it thinks it knows what’s best. In Canada you might get arrested for this content. The US? A few “Think of the Children” stories from the news media and some whiny comments on social media. It’s only when publishers become afraid of the whiners whining that things get pulled or censored.

GamesGoodMeGood
July 28, 2016 at 4:51 amSounds similar to Collective Shout, which is yet another disgraceful puritan feminist online movement in Australia that is focused on shaming companies that use “sexual objectification” of women (they don’t have any problems with men being objectified of course) to advertise and sell products, and they are one of the reasons why the rapper Tyler The Creator was banned from entering the country.
These kinds of movement campaigns, which are clearly used by mostly hateful, bitter and ugly women/feminists to bully and harass, need to be fucking nuked.
“Think maybe people like us could use the same tactics to harass and bully companies who capitulate to feminist/sjws in the same way?”
Women/feminists act as a collective by nature. Men act as individuals by nature.
Therefore not enough dissenters to do it. And then you have the problem of too many male feminists, white knights, manginas, and censorship apologists.
So that’ll be why it’ll never happen.
As much as we are against censorship, we are still a minority.

If anything, competitive games with online multiplayer might make folks more aggressive, if they take the game too seriously, but again, it’s not the game’s fault; it’s the player for taking things too seriously.

July 28, 2016 at 1:11 pmThe studies/research projects is another thing I worry about for the future.
Given the PC-feminist climate of today in the West, and how SJWs are able to infest everything, I can see the results of these studies being manipulated to be biased against the gamers. Very similar to those biased feminist studies.
All it takes is just one SJW/feminist with an agenda on board the research project and he/she can ‘adjust’ the results to make it so that it completely goes against the gamers. I mean, no-one else is going to know that the results have been manipulated.
So far it seems to be fair and biased. I can see that changing soon if there isn’t enough regulatory checks on this kind of thing.

July 28, 2016 at 1:16 pmUtter bullshit.
Isn’t it funny then that they’ve specifically chosen two games which feature so-called “sexual objectification of women” and fan-service?

July 28, 2016 at 1:57 pmThe country allows it to fester in its own government with the only real opposition I’ve seen so far being some woman throwing a dildo at their Prime Ministers face.

July 28, 2016 at 2:27 pmActually, it would be more like saying, “I don’t recognize the validity of the law pertaining to this case, and therefore refuse to convict the person who has been charged with breaking it, regardless of what the evidence shows period”. You’re essentially giving the judge the middle finger by going against what the law says. That’s why the courts don’t inform prospective jurors about this power; it poses a threat to their way of thinking, which says “the law is absolute based on the simple fact that it exists as law”. Of course, reality paints a much different picture. A lot of these so-called laws are passed by politicians for the vile purpose of oppressing certain segments of the population. When this injustice occurs, it’s our civic duty to oppose it through any means necessary.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” -Thomas Jefferson

July 28, 2016 at 5:53 pmGamergate shows that men are just as capable of creating a countergroup to protect their interests. I’m saying this as someone who was neutral to the whole debacle.

July 28, 2016 at 6:01 pmThe reddit user who got the phone call said it was just an option. Like if you’re somehow offended by a perverted game that was advertised as having sexual elements from the start you can return it for a refund. Still weird as all hell but it doesn’t seem like they’re flat out telling people to bring it back.
GamesGoodMeGood
July 28, 2016 at 6:25 pmDo you have a problem with GG/Men protecting something they enjoy?
You don’t get men whining and moaning about stuff that women enjoy. Stuff like romance novels and Twilight, Justin Bieber, Magic Mike, etc. that over-sexualizes men purely for the visual pleasure of women.
Men are not complaining about entertainment geared towards women. They just want to be left alone to enjoy material that’s geared towards men. After all, women have always been able to enjoy sexual material that’s geared towards women without criticism or fear of reprisal.
Feminists/SJWs are the aggressors trying to censor, ban and take away something that males enjoy. Men/GamerGate are the ones on the defence. That’s the difference. Which is something that seems to have completely flew past over your head.
GamerGate’s original core principles is to stand and advocate for ethical journalism, freedom of expression/creativity, free speech and anti-censorship.
SJWs/feminists advocate for censorship, restriction of expression/creativity, policing content and thoughts and corrupt journalism.
So be a goody-goody moral high-horse neutral all you want, but let me remind you that there is a huge imbalance of power here, and the ones that have all the power are women and feminists. They are ones trying to censor and ban material. And they are complete hypocrites as well.
For example:
Hot Ryu = empowering for women, justice, good, awesome, best thing ever, etc.
Rainbow Mika = sexist, misogynist, woman-hating, promotes [email protected] culture, etc.
If SJWs/feminists are not going to practice what they preach (equality) then fuck neutrality.

July 28, 2016 at 6:56 pmi dont know, games are also a product at the end of the day, you cannot expect a company to work at a loss forever
what i dont understand is why are they encouraging people to refund their games, if the leddit post is to be believed, it makes me suspicious other reasons might be behind this decisions

July 28, 2016 at 7:57 pmWhy even bother giving an excuse anymore? Everyone knows the games are being pulled for authoritarian moralistic reasons. EB could have just as easily stopped carrying the games and said nothing if that’s how they felt. Harassing their customers into returning the games was cute though. Truly no shame.

July 28, 2016 at 11:35 pmOur enemies are hive-mind, but they are a minority too. Even if there are more of them than us, at least making our voices heard is better than just letting companies think that feminist/sjws are the ONLY ones whohave an opinion. Threatening to lighten their wallets WILL get their attention, even if it’s just a few of us. Million Moms takes all the hard work out of writing angry letters cause they’re pre-written. If there were a watchdog site like MM for people like us, anyone visiting could just copy & paste and make their feelings known in an instant.

July 29, 2016 at 7:11 am“Harassing their customers into returning the games was cute though. Truly no shame.”
Basically their way of saying:
“we’re so dedicated to feminism that pulling the game from our shelves is not good enough – we have to go a step further and do our best to ensure that the people who pre-ordered the game won’t get to enjoy it”

August 17, 2016 at 7:02 am“Australia is one of the most left-wing nations in the world”
Yeah, no. Australia is all about conservatism. Remember the “White Australia Policy” remained in effect until 1975, to this day there is still a mad discrimination against immigrants from the asian continent and aboriginals.
Keep your cop-out to yourself please.
NukeA6
August 17, 2016 at 8:20 amFeminism cannot survive in a conservative environment so yes, I know exactly what I’m talking about.
Nier
August 17, 2016 at 8:38 amA conservative who whines online about liberalism and feminism is pinning the blame of Australia’s regressive conservative infrastructure on liberalism and feminism.
That deflection…
They are banning JAPANESE games because they are discriminatory against japanese (non-white) media and culture (non-western), not because they care about “wimminz rights”.
NukeA6
August 17, 2016 at 9:37 amOh cut your faggotry. I’m not whining at all. In fact, I don’t even give a damn about Australia.
First of all, your claim on why it was banned doesn’t change that it’s liberal. Second, Australia is riddled with political correctism which mirrors that of the liberal Western world. Third, your claim of Australia banning games because of Japanese discrimination has no source at all so I can only declare that you either made that shit up or got it from some place like MarySue.
So yeah, do yourself a favor and get off this site and spread your cuckold bullshit somewhere else. I deal with enough bitch boys already.
Nier
August 17, 2016 at 10:05 amYou are the one claiming that Australia is I quote: “Australia is one of the most left-wing nations in the world and feminism is purely leftist.”
It bears then that the burden of proof falls on the one making the claim, not the attemping to rebuke it. As of right now, the one who made the ludicrous claim (you) has not provided any proof to back your claim, as such your claim has no merit.
Secondly, I think it is you who should get off this site, your overly alarmist, reactionary nonsense and explitive use of insults aimed at homosexuals (as you call it “faggotry”) and non-racist people (or as you call them “cuckold”) would be more welcome on a white supremacist site rather than here.
NukeA6
August 17, 2016 at 10:26 amAnd you’re probably also the one who thinks feminism is about equality despite all evidence against that. If it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. In today’s political world (which obviously has a liberal agenda pandering to the nutjobs of Western society), censorship is abundant. The banning of Gal Gun is no exception. You have to completely gullible or really stupid if you can’t even see that. Your claim about censoring for Japanese discrimination is something I can’t find anywhere so yes, you either made it up or got it from same sources that claim rape is everywhere.
As for me getting off the site, don’t even make me laugh. This is a site that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about political correction and I think it’s pretty clear where my stance is. You, on the other hand, are behaving like the typical SJW and trying to claim I’m racist (I’m Hispanic, by the way). You can’t handle the heat, get lost because I’m not going anywhere.
