Movies like american pie have the excuse of the character being underage but the actor really not being underage which makes it not creepy. Now, I fail to see how a character being a drawing instead of being portrayed by an of-age adult is more sinful when the characters in the story are underage in both cases, but...apparently it is? I dunno. I just don't try to understand this prudish insanity.
Accurate to a shocking degree.
I assume you are the ultimate and highly credited source to speak for all gamers in the world regarding this sort of thing? You have a link to all of their wishes and wants, and you know for a fact that the GamersTM are saying "DOWN WITH GAL GUN, MORE YAKUZA AND FINAL FANTASY!"... Or are you just imparting your own biased distaste for these games into your argument and treating it as fact?
No two games will have nudity be exactly the same because the context that the nudity will exist in will be game-specific so that is an asinine concern to have. You have to take each game by itself and see how it works, comparing it to how other games work because they both have nudity or fanservice ignores the greater context. Like for example, if you have nudity by an adult in a serious/realistic setting, versus fanservice by a teen in a comedic colorful cartoony setting, the thing each game is going for with those elements is so diametrically distinct that to deem one as better or worse than the other is to compare apples to oranges and makes no sense at all. And this is not even beginning to include the nuance that fanservice has in a lot of Japanese mediums, lots of which have a non-prudish view of sexual comedy, seeing it as merely amusing, even when it involves younger characters, which is just as valid as not seeing it as such. If you don't understand that you're not meant to get horny but just laugh at a lot of sexual fanservice gags, you are putting things on the content out of your own dirty little mind.
And yet, they still get censored in Malaysia.
A) it *is* creepy, which is why they don't tend to get made all that often these days
Huh? Am I remembering american pie wrong? Cause that had actual tits and sexual situations and stuff? Gal Gun just has underwear shots and suggestive moaning lol. It's actually not allowed to show tits in Japanese console games at all, their rating board over there would rate it the equivalent of an AO rating.
No the point is that it's ridiculous to censor the soles of chars' feet when they're not doing anything sexual and are just falling down in surprise. That the malaysian viewer is projecting sexuality in a purely innocent scene because of the bias they came into the scene with. A bias which, if one wishes to be an open-minded western first world country enlightened person, would check at the door and tackle the medium with the correct understanding that it doesn't stem from their culture and hence need not be limited by its rules.
I'd expect someone who likes Yakuza to have more of an appreciation of exploitation media.
Difference Yakuza didn't ruined the reputation of Japanese games while games like Gal Gun did. Nobody but the most hardcore fans asked for these kinds of games. So I can't appreciate the fact that the industry had to deal with a bunch of bad cases that reduced the odds of localization.
...The reputation of Japanese games? It is a Japanese game. Fanservice and hentai involving underaged characters are straight-up Japanese in nature, because the Japanese make those things.
You do realize that a lot of american media did that too till rather recently, right? Except worse since we tended to do live action.
Yes.
American Pie is 21 years old. If you think it didn't get pushback, you're naive
"and that's why titty games starring children should be on every console or it's censorship"
Importing exists for a reason.
World's significantly more grey than "everything or nothing". Corporations want to make money. If they think a thing is going to cause them to make *less* money, they aren't going to do the thing.
It sounds more like you are pretending that its only Japan that does these kinda things and that young woman aren't treated somewhat similar in a lot of places.
Don't bother with Dreiko, he has a habit of bending over backwards and overly defending all things Japanese. It's why I don't bother him much, but I call things out, if he says something really stupid and foolish.
