Look at it this way - you never have to read another thread like it again. Like, we talk about how feminism and racism threads are always the same. But honestly, I don't think I know any topic that's more similar to its last instance as <insert questionable sexual game from Japan> threads.

I mean we always come across something suspect here and there, but I damn ~ some of these people have no shame.

You're right tho, I can't say I've come across anything like this since I've been on here even close to the frequency of feminism and race threads.

It's not refreshing tho.
 
Fuck, wish I didn't ask about that game.

Sorry you saw (whatever you saw)

Even from just a business perspective, I don't get the decision. I highly doubt sales would even recoup localization, packaging, and marketing costs (if they even CAN market), let alone make a profit.

There are MUCH better, non-objectionable NIS games to localize like D2, but for some reason they chose this...

On Criminal Girls: Shit's disgusting. But ay that's what Vita owners buy after all.

I don't like the idea of using gaming's 'obsession' with ultraviolence to be used as a counterpoint/to justify their child pornography. I see that shit show up too much in threads like those.

That game would be one of the few examples where I do think Censorship should do it's thing, and censor the obvious child porn out. But since it's not doing it well lol

on the plus side it's a good sign that the people who do defend the shit should be people others should disassociate with.

Some art isn't worth defending. Art depicting the sexualization of children (right down to a mode that lets you spank them) and serves no purpose beyond titillation falls pretty squarely in the "not worth defending" category.

Which, admittedly, feels weird to say because I'm all about "live and let live," and letting creators create, and freedom of speech, and all that jazz. But considering that media's main purpose on a basic functional level is communication and the spread of ideas, fuck it. Some ideas don't need to be spread.
 
It was wrong of me to assume that, yeah.

Seriously though it's more than likely tape. You wouldn't want to get eyelid surgery if you were an Asian model. It would affect your ability to work for different companies. It's why a lot of Korean actresses use the tape.

I really can't fuck with this new Daquan meme. Like at all. Perpetuates the stereotype of the hypersexual black male who's out to defile white women.

I wonder how Japan in general will react once that shit is considered a crime.

Like seriously, I'd defend those outrageous Eroge games I see posted here once in a while before I defend shit like Criminal Girls.

I can see the humor, but I don't really appreciate it. I mean, yeah it makes fun of the stupid stereotypes people have about interracial relationships, but some people will be laughing for the wrong reasons.

Learning there's people out there that fetish doing these things to girls that look like 10 year olds is so disturbing. And then want to use excuses that this shit been around for years like that somehow makes it better.

Seeing people defend this shit like it's okay is what blows my fucking mind.

Animated or not, we all know what's the idea here and there's no denying it.

It's guaranteed to happen given the medium and delivery.
 
Freenude is my hero; I mean really in most threads he's saying what many of those people are thinking any way; then they act shocked like "OMG I can't even!...Anyways, this game shouldn't be banned!!!"
 
Two weeks up today.

Already making people mad.

First they came for our sexualized depictions of little girls and I said nothing...
Slay actually did something not shit while you were gone. I almost thought he finally caught you and you were on his account saying something witty as a "holding up today's newspaper" sort of way

There's a lot of racist attitudes towards products coming from Japan these days. I don't know what else to call someone judging avatars in that way, except saying that they're anti-Japanese culture.

It's not just NeoGAF. It's tons of sites on the internet, and it's a common thing for people to judge people in that way, and to put down anything from Japan.

Then again I'm not surprised, considering that guy's post history

I never really paid attention to avatars. I just knew certain people had their thing and it's convenient to spot them in a large thread.

Them anime cats are definitely feeling some type of way. Thread isn't even about child fetishism anymore, but culture prejudices. And yeah anime does have its stereotypes.
