I'm not sure what you mean as positive light, but sure. You could murder children in the original Fallouts, Deus Ex (which even had exclusive dialogue when you killed certain kids), Postal, and let's just not forget Drakengard, where Caim remorseless executed hundreds and hundreds of (albeit soldiers) kids. |
In the original Fallout everybody hates you if you kill children. There are negative consequences. Can't recall the specific scenario in Deus Ex. I haven't played the other games so I can't say. But I really don't see child murder all that common in games, nor are there many people bothered when they can't murder children.
What I mean by positive light is that in this game (Xenoblade Chronicles X) the pre-teen (almost) nudity is fetished and considered a desirable feature that people want so much they are outraged when it is not included in the localization. Most people don't want child murder in their games for the pleasure of it. If it is included, it is because it tells a moral story or represents a moral fault in the character (you are punished for it.) It is not fetishized nor glorified, with the odd exception of course (and people complain when this odd exception exists.)
