@Russian-chiropractic19 exactly

@Force_of_Nature as they should be, Japan seems to have taken it a bit too far

Didn't DOA Dimensions get banned in some places because Kokoro, Eliot, Ayane and Kasumi were under 18 at the time?

yeah about that, guess why Marie is from Sweden?

Western society is anal about Marie Rose or Honoka yet it's cool with something like MKX where people's guts get obliterated. Fucked up priorities...

@Force_of_Nature it's all relative i believe Marie and honoka being sexualized is more of a priority than mkx but we view the two differently

We definitely do. How is killing someone in the most horrific manner possible worse than some scantily clad women? not even close. your western ideals are showing.

1. It's been proven that video game violence does not facilitate real-world violence. 2. Cartoon violence has been around since forever. 3. Nothing wrong with scantily clad women, definitely something wrong with scantily clad GIRLS

because pedophilia is illegal and fictionalized gore is not.

^

there is of course fictionalized pedophilia such as drawing, 3D models, written fiction, Marie Rose, etc... but the laws are very iffy when it comes to that and nobody is willing to stand up and basically have their life destroyed attempting to defend the right to fap to underage images.

I'm pretty sure real violence is illegal. DOA is fantasy. Marie Rose & Honoka aren't real. Like Russian said, it's "fictionalized pedophilia". This indirectly makes Western culture either fucked up or hypocritical.

i dont think its either, its just ignorance and fear that easing up on those type of laws will someone hurt more children in the future.

No different than thinking that video games can cause a random dude out of, like, a million, to cause a massacre. It's a hypocritical system fueled by a Conservative agenda.

ha. most liberals arent any nicer to non offending pedophiles than any conservative.

Same brainwashing due to society's overall "ideals". Point is society thinks sexuality-based stuff is taboo and brutal violence is "fine" despite both being fictional when used in an entertainment medium.

Sexualizing a child is always unacceptable. Cartoon violence (as obscene as it is) is not. It's not about sex being taboo it's about the sexualization of a childlike figure. So it's got nothing to do with Western ideals. Wrong is wrong

It isn't about saying oh he puts a g-string on Honoka he's gonna rape a child. In any case real or fictional the sexualization of children is never okay. Ever.

Nor should it ever be seen as an "entertainment medium"

I still don't understand how realistic looking brutal violence is any "better" i.e. not considered worse than someone like Marie Rose, that looks more like a cartoon character than an actually living, breathing person. The violence in today's video games looks pretty damn realistic and can definitely give a sick, perverted individual ideas.
