Yes it is true, still don't void right of people of complaining about it.

People have the right to complain about whatever they want to, that's our world.

Doesn't mean I don't think it's weird that people complain about a company not allowing sexual games featuring kids (underaged characters) on their platform.

teenagers aren't kid, and pixels aren't people.

In AU/EU? So how about NA? Also, Omega Labyrinth Z was expected to release in the West in Spring 2018 but then it was delayed and publisher PQube announced that it's localization has been cancelled. Yeah, even in early 2018, but Sony is definitely innocent in this case/s

Spring 2018 is not a finalised release date, as in a specific date. The ESRB rating was not even published until towards the latter half of Spring.

And put your sarcasm aside because we have already established that Sony banned the game, so your comment is somewhat pointless.

Nevertheless, the Sony policy is to have the games censor content for release. This isn't what happened with OL2.

I have a daughter, thanks for your judgmental ignorance.

The country have low crime, including pedophilia. They do have a lot of fetiche for woman that look like teen, but they harm no child in doing that.

In Japan is even common to have some hookers that are into their 30s dressing like elementary school and having their face looking very young, that is a fetiche they have. Still that don't harm any child. Pixel porn of girl that also look under 18 don't harm kids. And you can even trace who buy this type of material and see if they also go to other habits as buying real child porn or exploring teenagers sexually.

This seems somewhat disingenuous. There have been reports of underage girls working in night clubs brothels etc. The creator of Kenshin was only given a sub $2000 fine for being in possession of child porn. Recently, a father who raped his own daughter twice, was found not guilty even though the court said that he did commit the sexual abuse.

Sex crimes related to minors happen in Japan. They just go undocumented for the most part. Also, crime is on the rise in the country. This is anecdotal but I am in contact with Japanese people every day and they all share the same opinion that Japan is not nearly as safe as non-Japanese make it out to be. But this does depend on where about you live in the country.

Have I claimed japan have no violence, rape or pedophilia? Nope, I claimed Japan have very low crime rate which include them. So the presence of these games aren't really what is harming kids in Japan or elsewhere.

One could even claim that is better that there are pixel porn with looks of under age people than real child porn, because people that like this type of material will go to get it, so the first one at least doesn't harm any child. Also as I said, PS is a closed environment so every purchase have an account and it certainly can be traced to a real person if police wants. So they can have all people that buy this material followed closely and arrest him as soon as he go a toe ahead of what is lawful.

That's why there is no reason to censor it yet Sony still did it and their fans still defend them no matter what. They also forget 1 thing: Sony was from Japan

Yeah, so ban the game instead censoring it, right? No wonder why the next game is Switch only:

Claiming moral high ground make it very easy for people to defend things.

you missed the most relevant part - that the sexual revolution will be undone by feminists... you know... the people who are supposed to be advocating for the freedom of women?

"this will certainly lure out all the neckbeards"

what is a neckbeard?

Feminists aren't really the issue. It's all on society and the ridiculous sense of shame. Twitter storms of 1000 people are more important than what millions of silent people think. It's that society completely jumped on the PC bandwagon and circlejerked it to the ridiculous heights we have now. It's an infinite feedback loop like a drug. To get more social recognition you have to get more PC. It will be interesting at which point we will crash into the ceiling. My guess is porn. It's too big and too important.

Neckbeards is a derogatory term for mostly incel people on the internet who speak with self perceived intellectual authority on every topic and usually lean towards misogynism.

Well the "get woke go broke" is still true, it have happen to comics a lot of times, so depending on how much Sony decides to put under censorship that will certainly bite then on the but.
