We're not a civilisation of saints over here, mate - whatever you choose to believe.

Never said any other country was any different but Japan is the most blatant about it ... their fuck up that that's how they come across, not mine.

Human civilisation in general is pretty sick. If you don't like it - take steps to change it. Rather than sit and proselytise on the web.

I, like Venom, have done a shit load in this field and dealt with fucked up shit, so don't assume that I am just a keyboard warrior. Your defensiveness has blinded you to rationality ... take a step back and see that.

How many people here have been to Japan?

Okay, point made.

You're right - I made a rather irreverant assumption there. Apologies.

Although - rationality. Whose?

And I don't recall being defensive. Your post - and my entire argument about it was "Pedo nation". So you are, technically, referring to each and every person in that country as a child-molesting pervert. And if they don't do it - they support it.

As soon as you said that it stopped being about the game, and it became about the people. People who, for the most part, don't deserve that label ... any more than you or I deserve any of the labels that get applied to us by foreigners sometimes.

Besides which - Azi's article was a bad one (or a good one - since she likes kicking bees nests). The sort of thing I would expect to see on Sankaku Complex. Meant to raise a fuss and give people the wrong ideas. The article seems to imply (although never explicitly state) that some guy is going into a school full of disabled (possibly underage) kids and having his way with them.

Which is about as far from the truth as it is possible to get.

You don't have to read this ... but I offer it anyway: Kotaku article

I had an obsession of Japan for many years, mainly due to my insatiable thirst for all things anime and in that time saw some peculiar things come from that nation. That said, they like everyone else will have the "weirdos" although they are a little more free and open about it over there.

I'm not overly disturbed by this game (though I understand why you would be) since I've gotten over most of the culture shock that can come from the land of the rising sun. It's just not cool to label an entire nation for what is obviously a minuscule portion of the populace that are into this sort of thing.

Sayonara minna.
