I would be fine with no BG toggle if the BG was appropriate, or had a replacement that was allowed by the ruleset.

This is one of the things what people don't understand.Mithost wrote:
I think so. In most cases this game is at LEAST 16+ age wise.
not necessarily, the only time i play osu! is in my room and in places where people can't see my screen because of BGs. and I'm 18TheNutritiousGuy wrote:

I love how most of these are in official downloadable beatmap packs, and most monthly charts (not themed) have one or two of these backgrounds (or something like it).Backstabber wrote:

I don't really mind having ecchi bg's on maps that allow it (all nightcore maps basically). A toggle would be nice but I see how that would not happen. The only problem with the BG's now is that you will not be able to delete them. I think you will have to either ban all echhi BGs (not wanted) or add an option of some sort for those who want something more "SFW".
What is the problem with girls in swimsuit? o.o If you go to a beach you will see even more. Or your brother, or whatever.Backstabber wrote:

That's just my point; people's standards are different. I personally find it ridiculous that women will wear less clothing on the beach than what they wear at night. I avoid looking at girls in swimsuits period.Kurokami wrote:

The Ass Up is okay tho.
This gave me an interesting idea. I wonder if it would be possible for beatmaps to have an alternate background if you will. If the content of one offends you, then you could download the other. And maybe we could request alternate backgrounds from the beatmapper himself. That way, you still enjoy the map the way the mapper intended, it's just a secondary way.Backstabber wrote:

How about an option to download a "G rated" background instead of the normal one? I already use the "without video" download if I think there will be anything mature in them.I support a secondary background for younger players/people who don't want to see the normal backgrounds. It would be the mapper's choice of a background (keeping it "play it how the mapper wanted you to"), and adding a secondary one would be at request of a modder or a MAT/BAT. Add the secondary BG as a guideline, add a button (or an account setting) to download the "G Rated" BG, and poof. Problem solved.

Can you really say that about image sets like what http://osu.ppy.sh/s/11947 ? Sorry but that's not just "humans in swimsuits". It's entirely NSFW by all means.peppy wrote:
Keep in mind most of the linked maps above involve images of humans in swimsuits. This is not considered to be adult content. If you are offended by such images, please restrain yourself from playing the maps.
I was just about to mention that beatmap, but looks like it was already done :p Probably the most NSFW beatmap I've ever seen. The alternate bgs idea would be pretty cool for beatmaps like this though, or just tone it down a bitAqo wrote:

Where I live? No, not really. You may see some normal cleavage, but that's usually it; swimsuits here almost always adequately cover the sides and bottom of a woman's boobies. This is because that's how swimsuits are designed, and most women here like to pick swimsuits that fit. You may see the occasional bakini, but that's it.Kurokami wrote:

Here's an idea, try not playing osu in school where you're supposed to be learning.Mithost wrote:
Why does osu! have the ability to get you in trouble at school for the same reasons?
Because funnily enough I play osu at home, not at work or school.YodaSnipe wrote:

I lol'd but its true. I know they are not the best backgrounds, but I think they are fit to the music.Ekaru wrote:
Really, the skimpiest swimsuits really are mostly reserved for sluts and pornstars. That's just where I live, though.
If you need the ethos for this, making osu more sfw and ecchi-free would make it more accessible and more desirable to play for a larger audience. Even if you like those backgrounds, I'm sure they're not the reason you enjoy the game, and you can just view them as images on your own. However for people who are bothered by those images for one reason or another, it hurts the accessibility to this game.Mithost wrote:

Nightcore = loliAqo wrote:
Generally speaking, even as a 21yo, I try to hide away the fact I play osu from my roommates (or more like, use two songs folders), so that they don't think I'm into japanese fetishes. Asking to remove anime OP videos from anime op songs would be stupid because it actually fits there, but how the hell do minimally dresses girls with emphasized body parts relate to "nightcore"? It has absolutely no connection.
I know they are not the best backgrounds, but I think they are fit to the music.Also if you are afraid from your roommates, then you are baka. Who cares about what the other ppl think? Or if you personally not like those song then not play with them, its simple.
You totally don't understand nightcore then, as far back as nightcore's origins and it's popularity first booming it has *always* had a connection to minimally dressed unrealistic drawings of girls. So yeah, it actually does make sense for that to continue and really, the BGs in osu for nightcore are always mild compared to the others outside of the game.Aqo wrote:

be happy, the good backgrounds are disappearing from osu! ._.Ekaru wrote:
Thanks a lot for this, guys! If anything, I'm satisfied with just Ass Up! being fixed (even if it did take a while >_>), though I remember there being at least two other maps that went through this.
Then download again and look at the folder. The bg is not the same, it was already changed. The thumbnail just sucks. Anyways the old pic was much better. o.oMithost wrote:

The thing with explicit lyrics is that they can be kept to the player through the use of headphones. Backgrounds can't be hidden from other people, so anybody in a young person's family is able to see and be offended by a naked loli with a feather over her labia. A vaguely sexual background could be fine if it fits the song's theme, but it's blindingly obvious that loli backgrounds are usually used to grab attention or indulge the mapper. Just don't do it, okay? Stop trying to defend this balderdash.JappyBabes wrote:
Since the only arguments that currently exist are, "I get embaressed" and "This is an all ages game", I would like to request an unranking for http://osu.ppy.sh/b/118380&m=0 and http://osu.ppy.sh/s/933 as it has explicit lyrics which clearly are not suitable for all ages. I also get embarrassed when playing this which totally means it should be unranked as well. kthx.
