Calm down dude. It's Japanese. Nothing more needs to be said.

It doesn't.
At least Wikipedia says, so. Someone else can feel free to provide a more trustworthy source that disagrees if they can find one. I'm not an expert on japanese culture.

As long as nobody is harmed, why not?

Unless its Opposite Day, then you'll need to explain.
I don't see how this encourages exploitation of children though.

Oh LOL, I thought somehow the other thread about the last game got bumped, but it's a new game and the thread is exactly the fucking same. I wonder how far this one will get before it's locked.
It won't exit Japan. If you're in Japan, I think you'll encounter sometimes this stuff. If you're elsewhere, you shouldn't browse the japanese store
The show is a bit strange, but not unpleasant, even if I'm not confortable with the ending. But given the theme, it's not surprising that the game is risqué...
In fact, problem is that I can't imagine how you can make a 'normal' game with it.

Oh dear god it's happening again.
No thread because didn't the last one for this very game get nuked from orbit after it erupted into a 50 page discussion?
That was actually a different game from the same series...
Hm, well I guess I'm not really arguing about the purpose of its existence. These games certainly have their appeal to a certain audience and it's okay that they don't appeal to me.
I just find that the nature of it is questionable, but that reflects to my tastes.
But that isn't the focus of the game, maybe you should get your mind out of the gutter.
As long as there isn't any actual explicit content (which there isn't), it's just your average, run-of-the-mill fanservice.
It's normal in Japan, and probably the main reason we won't be seeing a localization of this.

Do shooting games encourage the act of killing people with guns?
It's the sexualization of children that promotes the exploitation.

I was listening to a manga podcast and they mentioned how in the manga the brother admitted to his sister and grabbed her ass. So I checked it out and it was true.
This is some creepy shit.

When someone is quoting the wikipedia page explaining the age of concent in japan you know you're in for a good thread
My mind... out of the gutter? Are you saying that this:
...isn't an image of a seemingly underage girl in a sexually suggestive pose? I never stated that they would be the focus of the game. But they are there.
Well, on the basic level, depiction does not equal encouragement, and sexual fantasies aren't different in that regard from violence fantasies or superpower fantasies.
Talking about Japan, I think they're just taking it all in a different light. In one of Mega Man games, there's literally a scene where a female heroine (thirteen year old teenage celebrity) mentions she's going to do a bikini photoshoot. That's in a game aimed at children (the subject of this thread is likely to have 15+ rating). Different levels and concepts of what's allowed and what means what. Cultural shock is understandable (although even then games such as these are pretty much aimed at no-lifers).
Because glorification of violence in video games promotes aggression...

Kirino still stinks.
Hey, feel free to quote a source that says the age of consent isn't 13. I'm genuinely curious, I have no idea.

In a way. They provided a means of aspirational catharsis. This game seems aimed at individuals who aspire to harm children.

I honestly keep hearing that the content in the anime and manga have NOTHING To do with the title. That the title is very misleading.

When was that? Early on he claimed to be a siscon to repair the relationship between his sister and her best friend, who was distraught after finding out his sister was an anime otaku.
He hasn't flirted really, with his sister much int he anime/novels, with most of his flirting being with the plain nextdoor girl, the Best girl (Kuroneko) or the Otaku group leader (Soari). Sometimes with Ayase, when shes not scaring the crap out of him.
I think the only reason the incest plot is still around is to prevent the Kirino fans from abandoning the series until the last novel is released. I don't think she has an honest chance of actually winning in the end.

Yup. And WTF is wrong with everyone in this thread getting excited over it. I guarantee it's not because of the thrilling writing and suspenseful action.

Read it more carefully, it is 13 but each region also has its own set of laws so its double tiered.

Wait, age of consent in Japan is 13?! *googles* Holy crap, that explains A LOT!!!
Indeed, it seems like the sister wants to fuck the brother more than the other way around, so it probably should've been called 'My Big Brother Can't Be This Hunky' or something. That'd clear it up.
Ya, I read the whole thing. Age of consent is still 13. Perhaps they should consider changing that to more closely reflect their actual policies in practice, rather than what is written on paper. That's a tangent, though.
All I'm seeing here is that it's some stupid chinese cartoon made into a game based off a light novel.
And light novels are stuff targeted towards middle and high schoolers.
While I do not find any of this stuff appealing at all, from what it seems it does not encourage any exploitations
All I'm seeing is your typical run of the mill cartoon targeted towards a niche audience that are probably small in numbers anway and that is the only thing Scamo is exploiting here.

Good, good
And? It's a drawing that doesn't depict a real person. I don't see the harm, if it exists.My mind... out of the gutter? Are you saying that this:
...isn't an image of a seemingly underage girl in a sexually suggestive pose? I never stated that they would be the focus of the game. But they are there.
Not to mention that this type of game is where such images would be expected.
The Japanese Penal Code is pretty long, wiki servers its purpose.

So should we have games like GTA which are million times more popular than this, which encourage mass murder, prostitution, drug abuse etc on the market?

Is it a foreign concept to go to the pool with your sister?
