Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter acc Censors Female Characters
Do you know the mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes? Based on Nintendo’s RPG series Fire Emblem, Heroes has been around since 2017 and has fans who love the game. However, recently a certain way of promoting new female characters on the official Twitter account has been annoying players.
Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter acc Censors Female Characters
When a new character is announced, the Japanese account of the game Fire Emblem Heroes releases a post with the character’s full artwork. For example, when the character Camilla was announced, they presented the character, a text saying when she will be available, her voice actress, who did the artwork, and Camilla’s full artwork.
Now let’s see how the English account of Fire Emblem Heroes announced the character?
Yes, they cropped her artwork to show only her head, and this is a practice that has become quite common for the American account, other female characters with more sensual designs have undergone the same treatment:
However, not all female characters have their artwork cropped in this way. Those with already modest clothing have their artwork displayed without problems. Meanwhile, the official Japanese account, with the same audience, receives the complete artwork without cuts.
This raises the question: have male characters undergone this strange cropping? Yes, but in fewer cases compared to female characters. This is something that the English profile likes to do, highlighting the characters’ faces.

However, some fans complained about how the English account of Fire Emblem Heroes seems to give more prominence to cropping the artwork of more sensual female characters.
Some comments include:
“I love how the English account is afraid to show her body, while the Japanese account isn’t.”
“NA leaves you in the desert, while JP promises you water.”
“Don’t be mean to them, they are just trying to censor for those people who are afraid of attractive bodies.”
“Perfect example of Western vs Eastern media.”
“I love FE Heroes, I love the franchise, but the fanbase (80% Western) makes me want to stop playing.”
“I’m so tired of this hypocrisy from Western companies.”
“As always, the Western version is worse.”
“Surprised that the English version is still standing.”
