It's a Japanese game. Their culture and age of consent is different. Sure, it's pushing things but It's somewhat normal there. The west really can't say anything about sexualizing pre-teens and teenagers or depicting young teens in adult situations especially with TV. That show on netflix, big mouth is a recent example of what I mean. If that's not enough, children beauty pageants skirt around the line.
Britney was 16 when she did this vid and become a pop star.
Yeah, I am aware that Japan is really "weird" when it comes to sexual fetishess. But I am not sure if I want other countries to embrace all of them. And I can fully understand why Steam doesn't want to be linked to a game that sexualise children.
I can understand that too but they should likely apply the standard across the board if they're gonna take a stance.
