Looking at you, streamers and angry defenders of Japanese ‘fanservice’ games.
Yeah, that scene that the game cuts away from and doesn’t show you. Yup, that’s totes the same thing.
Name one Japanese game released in the west that had an explicit sex scene with a minor.
I mean, that’s sort of how it’s acceptable at all, right? It’s almost entirely about the fact that it’s like accepted to lust after them or hit on them and the rest that would actually get them busted is not explicitly shown, but there’s enough there for you to understand that it’s gross.
And I love Japanese games, but even still, currently I’m playing Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, and there are scenes where characters comment on the beauty and attractiveness of Trucy (with no reprimanding from any other character), a 15 year old girl explicitly mentioned to not even be in high school yet.
That’s not explicit, her character design isn’t sexy, but the behavior of much older men lusting after a pre-high schooler is totally normalized. I think that’s more of what you’ll see commonly.
They edit it to age them up to be technically legal. C’mon, don’t play stupid.
Are you talking about visual novels?
I can read Japanese, so I can check the Japanese version and see what age they used there. Just one example is fine.
I know that there is lolicon in Japan, but this doesn’t get released in the west, nor is it intended for a western audience.
I’m talking about a game published with western audience in mind, that has a scene involving a minor that you consider to be worse than an implicit sex scene with a bear.
The games that tend to get criticism are games like the dead or alive xtreme volleyball series. Do you think those games deserve the criticism they get while bg3 doesn’t?
Rapelay is just straight up porn and wasnt even intended to reach the west, and any western equivalent would get the same treatment because rape porn and lolicon altogether is illegal in the west. I don’t think anyone is upset about that game being banned or censored. It is not even being distributed in Japan anymore.
