Namco pulls offensive Soul Calibur V poster

Sould Calibur V

A few days ago Namco Bandai surprised many with its very edgy and possibly NSFW Soul Calibur V promotional poster. They got plenty of attention, and tried the trick once more, with another edgy render of one of the in-game characters. But it appears that they took it too far this time. The poster, which you can see above, was published on their Facebook page, and apparently it was so offensive that many folks complained. And Namco took it down.

UPDATE: there are some reports that suggest the ad might not be of Namco’s making, as it’s taken of a render from Soul Calibur 4. We still don’t know who the original creator is, and why the image appeared on Namco’s Facebook page.

    Tell those uptight, anal retentive babies to get their head out of their collective anal orifices and look around. You can see more at the mall than is on that poster.

    Male privilege at its worst. Sure, the giant picture of cleavage was ‘okay’, but as soon as some dude’s junk shows up, Namco has ‘gone too far’.
