Looking at you, streamers and angry defenders of Japanese ‘fanservice’ games.

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?

I also can speak and read Japanese because I’ve lived here for over 20 years. There are many games that aren’t visual novels that have had characters specially aged up for their western releases.

And stop moving the goalposts. The article was clearly talking about games that have been released in the west, originally intended to be or no.
