Because it's a roundabout argument. There will always be an ingrained stigma towards incest that, when you think about it, isn't much different to the same sex marriage debate; People trying to interfere in the private lives of others.

I NEED SCISSORS

"Of course someone will come in and proclaim something like "but it's fine because she's really a 900 year old vampire!", but the risque imagery is still present."
^ the point still stands because the imagery is still there. This is why I quickly edited my original post to "feels like", because even when it's not actually sexual, it's still presented in such a way that it is, and there is such a high volume of it. And it's not just an isolated case either, it is so apparently pervasive in moe anime to outside observers that this is why it gets these reactions whenever the subject comes up (or if you simply venture into in any Icecream thread). I jumped to conclusions on that image, but even after you tell me she isn't really pregnant it still feels quite wrong, especially when it's combined with what else the moe genre is putting out.
Obviously the majority of people who watch moe anime aren't pedophiles - but that doesn't shake the feeling that there is a higher degree of psuedo-sexual (and in some cases outright sexual) imagery involving children/child-looking characters in it versus your average anime. That last point about moe vs other anime is a distinction that also has to be made. I don't have an issue with most anime like I do with moe.
Because dudes with guns everywhere, wanton mass murdering that inflicts cognitive dissonance, budget bloat, mass developer shutdowns, "cinematic" gameplay and gratuitous anti-consumer pratices is totally better than moe paedophilia whachamalit.
Whoever big industry wins, gamers lose.

Fuck moe games. We need more berserk games.
How many gens until my games will look like this?
Firstly - How am I supposed to know you can't nail your sister in a game called My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, where the sole purpose is to get girls pregnant? Everybody not familiar with the game but the premise would make this mistake, so no one who plays this kinda stuff should get in a tizzy when they get called out for being a creep.
Secondly - So she's not actually pregnant. So what? She's still portrayed as being. They probably made the shit up with the bunny so they could get it past the radar to the guys who'll altogether ignore the bunny ear and focus on the sheer fact that, gasp, she looks pregnant!
Thirdly - Women is the key phrase here. Faye is a woman. Half the protagonists of today's anime who are relegated to little more than fanservice are little girls. Sure, call Bebop filth because a woman is sexualised, despite it being a huge part of her personality and not just for sake of it, but, being a mature adult, I can bypass that as I understand sex is huge part of human nature, and sells well. Sex isn't "dirty". Sexualised little girls are.
I don't know, but I'm looking forward to improvements in cel-shading and other such anime styles in next-gen hardware.

Japan always had japanese centric releases, is not like those are new.
Releasing a few games to a very specific demography is not the problem.
I was just thinking about the whole moe/pedo thing.
...but okay then.
...I think I'm going to back away slowly now...

Wait, are we talking about the new Fire Emblem?
Your point would be valid except for the whole moral absurdity of your line of thinking. Not to mention the higher rate of birth defects. It's disingenuous to compare it to same sex marriage in pretty much any way.

How? That's what contraception is made for. That's like saying gays can't have sex because there is a higher risk of AIDs than if it were straight sex. Also, moral absurdity? Who is deciding the morality here? Popular culture? Because that's definitely the best gauge for that is moral.
Which game is this? Sounds good.
Beacuse its been mentioned multiple times in the thread? Because you cant get ANYONE pregnant in the game? Because the game has no fucking sex in it? Because if you're going to join in a discussion you should have at least the barest idea of what you're talking about? Because you are clearly not familiar with the premise of the game?
She's not portrayed as being, they didnt make anything fucking up, look at the fucking picture, what did you think the two big pink things were? Also, and this would again require you to have the barest knowledge of what you were talking about, if you were familiar with the context of the image you would know it was a still taken from the anime. A section of the anime where you see her putting a rabbit up her top. She was portrayed as a child joking about being a mother, you know, a thing actual children do.
You have a) again missed my point, I cant be any more clear so I'll let it go and b) are largely ignorant of what constitutes "todays anime", shocker.

But gay people don't run a higher risk of aids, believe they have a lesser chance of catching it actually because vaginal sex involves more fluid.
?!
That's a weird train of logic, to be honest.
I mean, I'm curious as to the context of the picture (since I do agree it's kind of weird out of context) but my first thought isn't, "This is so someone can get off on pregnant chicks."
I'm not necessarily going to disagree here. The age range for most girls in the genre these days has gone down. Not depicted age but actual age. Something about high school girls, I guess.

This is going much more off topic. If you'd like to discuss this with me, feel free to PM me. But I will say that I find your views abhorrent so be warned that I won't be nice.

Sorry but no thanks, I'm not that interested in the subject, but I find that ignoring the parallels to the same sex marriage point of view because you find something morally wrong is kind of hitting the nail on the head for all the wrong reasons.

Hmm... but gay men DO run a higher risk of AIDS (or at least on par with women who prefer anal), at least if they are the "bottom". Your colon and intestines are designed with the single purpose of absorption. Vaginas really aren't. Vaginas are very acidic in nature, they are designed to destroy most of what gets into them and push out nearly all the rest.
Left overs from sex with women get mostly pushed back out of the body, in the rectum a lot of that is actually absorbed into the blood stream.
Did you know in Cardcaptor Sakura, Sakura's mum ran off with her teacher and had two children?
It's always been there it's just the rise of the internet brings bigger attention to the shit titles along with the good stuff.
It could be that your mind is in the gutter if you automatically assume incest from the title.
Would I have to call my little sister an ugly bitch just to not be seen as a creep by you?

Oh god that thread bwahahahaha poor guy.
WAT. Do you have a younger sister or brother? Its alright man you can call them cute its fine (though it would be weird for an older brother to call his younger bro cute). Nothing in the title suggests getting girls pregnant though it does have slight undertones of incest. Extremely slight.
He'd probably just assume that was your trick to get past his unerring moral judgement, your converational stuffed rabbit if you will

It seems like cyberconnect and Level-05 are getting mighty close.
It's been mentioned before the capital letters are HD, and seeing how it's on the PS3...
It's just to shoehorn in HD.
And I guess so they can eventually release Badend where you die in every route.
Which I would totally buy.
This is only half-true - you (well, Kyousuke, the protagonist) can have plenty of kids in the second game (which includes the entirety of the first game a la Duodecim, making the first one kind of irrelevant).
I saw a few posts that said it doesn't have incest, too, which is also only sort-of-true. In the route where you can marry Kirino, she's not your sister, but she's still your cousin.
I mean, I enjoyed reading these, but there's no need to deny what they are.

Hmm, will have to look more into this. At the very least the comparison god made certainly isn't on the same level as sibling incest caused deformity rates.
Fuck moe games. We need more berserk games.
Movie Guts is pretty moe though.

As much as I absolutely ABHOR the idea of siblings having sex... you do absolutely make a fair point.
What happens in the privacy of someone's house between consenting adults is... gross... but whatever. Live and let live. Just try not to have children as that would be to the detriment of man kind.

Again, you're automatically making the assumption that said siblings, who obviously would need to be of a suitable age of consent to do anything legally anyway, don't have the intelligence to understand that possibility and don't take the appropriate precautions to prevent it.

Oh I agree... in the context of the argument it's kind of a strawman... that said, as I've already said before... I don't agree with it, I condemn it, but who the hell am I really to say what's right or wrong for consenting adults...
The only problem would be children as that would be detrimental to humanity as a whole. Increase risked of genetic disorders over a few dozen generations could be bad for society as a whole (not that it would take that long for any signs to show up, only that it could impact the human gene pool in the long run).
Traditionally, it's a fertile time for romance. Hell, Romeo and Juliet weren't older than 16.
I must say though, the addition of the "pregnant" Kuroneko's little sister was rather brilliant so early in the thread. It was the perfect double-take post guaranteed to turn a 3 page thread into a 12 page minimum thread. I'm glad that these games aren't canon though. The show itself (at least up to what I've seen, season 1) deals with sibling politics pretty well. The incest teasing seemed more a joke than an actual thing.
Ok, evidentially I got the wrong idea about the game/anime what ever. I've never played stuff like this because I generally find the title weird. I know it's not wrong to find your little sister cute, but I've seen enough of creepy Japan shit to not go anywhere near a game like this, because I know what it will entail. I assumed you got girls pregnant, as most people earlier in the thread were talking about it. Guess they were joking or something, but again, having never played this game, I wouldn't know. It still doesn't stop the fact that the premise itself is weird, and something you'd never find in Cowboy Bebop.
As for the "pregnant" kid issue, I was basically stating what I NEED SCISSORS was. They used the bunny as an excuse to get it under the radar, similar to the tons and tons of "hey look, this girl looks 7 but she's secretly a 5000 year old demon lord, so go ahead and fap". Don't kid yourself, because you know they were too. I don't care if she was pretending, she's blushing, and layed out on a bed, as if to prepare for sex. The artist could have easily just as portrayed her as pregnant in a less sexualised manner, if that was the only "purpose".
Listen, I've got better things to do than argue with people who defend this stuff. Let's say your right, and lets say I'm right. I don't care anymore. Your never gonna sway me, and I'm never gonna sway you. I honestly don't care about fighting a pointless war on shitty moe/lolicon/creeper shit anymore. Waste of my time, really.
Go ahead and play this game, watch the anime, and even buy those huggable pillows if ya want. Again though, just don't get in a tizzy when you get called out for being a pedo when your into series depicting underage girls in sexual positions.
