An EVO livestream that was centered around Dead or Alive was temporarily taken offline last night, after a segment that was deemed to go against the “integrity” of EVO. The segment in question featured two gravure idols posing on stage.
Below, you can see the apology from the EVO boss. Over on ResetEra, you can find an archive of the segments that were deemed a bit too risque for viewers. For those not in the know, gravure idols are women that primarily model in magazines and online, aimed at men in Japan.
