BTW, interesting lesson in media literacy. As I am not terminally online, this is the first I hear of the ban. So naturally I search for the news. And instantly see this:

"Controversial Anime-themed game" - probably some hentai-smut.

vs.

"9 years of acclaim for its sensitive themes" - sounds serious and probably good

So yeah, anyone telling me news outlets are neutral has a lot of explaining to do. And most people don't search news, they have their go to news source they trust.

100%.  The news at this point is just untrustworthy.

Personal opinion, based on their description, adult themes including sexual taking place in a high school (e.g. minors)...  google ain't wrong on this one.

As Norion explained, no CP material is depicted in DDLC. If it was, the game would have been refused classification back in 2017 when it released.

If teenagers exploring sexuality is unacceptable to you, you'd have to ban everything from The Last of Us to High School Musical, not to mention like 90% of teen drama shows.

Believe it or not, in real life, the majority of teenagers do in fact explore their sexuality, and this is a normal part of growing up.
