The "It's just a Japan thing" was more an example of an argument one may use to deflect the issue, not my actual believe or opinion. Aka the excuse 14 year old me gave my mother playing Soul Caliber 2.
As for Game of Thrones, yes there's sex in it, but no one has giant inflatable breasts. A lot of the nudity is also quite awful (rape and being shame marched through the city) so I'd say it's more for story reasons. Even the 'fun' nudity at the start is more to build a certain awesome drawf. I mean if he didn't go to brothels a lot of later stuff just wouldn't have made sense. I'm not saying it's justified - sure the nipples could be covered and it would still make sense - and yes maybe somebody likes it for the 2 minutes of tits every now and again.
But no one is walking around with KK-cup tits mostly on show. It isn't constantly in your face nor unrealistic or dumb when people are naked. If one of the main characters had an enormous cleavage on show all the time then we'd be in the same ball park.
A reason I always found Power Girl (will edit this if name is wrong) incredibly dumb.
What I'm getting at is when characters seem to be designed by horny 14 year olds I think it looks really stupid and a bit of maturity would be nice.
I wouldn't want my (non-existent) daughter playing as the Soceress in Dragon's Crown and thinking there was no issue with it because to me that's just worrying.
