GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[miyabi95_]

When this kind of thing becomes perfectly acceptable - isn't that a kind of sad state of affairs?

"It's just a Japan thing" seems a bit like turning a blind eye. Gamers always want to not be seen as the stereotypical loner in the basement and yet we'll be fine with helium tits.

(I'm not calling you out on anything, just giving a response. Also this might be super off-topic, so I apologize in advance.)

Spoiler

Yes, people like media with fanservice, and it's widely-accepted by people from around the world. But I don't see it as a huge controversial issue that needs to be "fixed." It just is. Think of Game of Thrones, being claimed by fans to be "Lord of the Rings for adults." Yet despite it's absurdities, it's been around for almost five years, is ongoing, has received around 9/10 ratings from critics, has received nominations for awards and even won a few, has had increasing viewer numbers, and has spawned a worldwide fanbase.

The same goes for games. All of these mature-rated action games that partially thrive on romance/sex scenes are still some of the greatest games known to mankind (I can't name any off the top of my head because I don't play them or know much else about them).

But that being said, no - it would appear that fanservice is not just a Japan thing.
