I'm glad the racehorse-tycoons' grip on Umamusume ero has finally been loosened ever since the game went global and they realized they have 0 jurisdiction over us. Seems like the stigma and fear of getting DCMA'd or even banned isn't as strong as it used to be.

That's still a very real fear for artists. You'll note that the account this is from is private, so it would be harder for Cygames lawyers to find it.

More like Western artists learned from og creators of Uma H and know how to better hide their works, like on private Twitters or discord servers. I will say tho the ingame strictness seems to be letting up. We went from "read between the lines," or insinuated romance between Uma and Trainer, to Uma's straight up professing their love for you. I find that interesting.

That's right; Cygames remains strict regarding its policy on *Umamusume* 18+ content out of respect for the owners of the real-life horses. That’s a good thing—otherwise, the *Umamusume* fandom would end up like the *Blue Archive* fandom, and people would mock them. Communities fall apart when they let those kinds of people take over the family. Fortunately, that isn't the case with *Umamusume*; it has a great fandom that even supports the real horses.

Even the person who said they were happy that Cygames wasn't censoring as much had their comment censored XD

No, comments are just automatically hidden after reaching a score of -8 or lower, and that's only if you're using the default settings. You can change the thresholds so none of them are hidden if you want.

It feels ironic, considering that actually makes people more aware of what IRL horses do especially after retirement. That law/rule is utterly pointless and just force artist do go underground. Still time will tell until they gave up and let it go.
