Tifa's Breast Size Reduction

As Square Enix revealed in the trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake at its pre-E3 press conference, many noticed that Tifa Lockhart's breast size was not quite the same as 20 years ago. While some were quick to express their disappointment with the change in gaming forums, others found such complaints laughable. This week, Final Fantasy VII Remake director Testuya Nomura revealed in an interview that the Square Enix ethics department told developers to restrict the size of Tifa's chest in the upcoming video game.

While this meme originated back in June 2015, its seen an enormous resurgence over the past several weeks featuring jokes about various insignificant material gains.


Nessa Whitewashing Controversy

After Pokémon fan artists began depicting the Pokémon Sword and Shield character Nessa with lighter skin, heated debates arose about the ethics of those illustrations. One particular example, in which an artist referred to their light-skinned depiction as "fixing" the character, was widely criticized as racially insensitive.


Belle Delphine's Pornhub Account

Five days ago, Belle Delphine, one of the internet's most popular e-girls, made a promise to create a PornHub account if her photo gathered one million likes. After reaching the milestone, she made good on her promise but uploading a series of prank videos to the adult content site.
