Ha.

The original Macross is where it's at.

Appearently they care very much about a very vocal minority. Anyway if you are a German buy it from a store in Austria.  If you are Australian buy it from a store in New Zealand. For as far as I know these games are sold more in Japan than the rest of the world, like a 85/15 ratio at least.

The best selling entry of Valkyrie sold 630.000 units in Japan and only 50.000 in Europe. It makes almost as much sense as selling the Xone in Japan. I don't get why they bother at all, it's not like these units make a profit, perhaps enough to brake even.

You took what I hoped was going to become a long winded terrible string of joke posts about programmed-not-really-consciousness rights and deflated it with a serious and well thought out post... sigh.

Lynn Minmay was a lolita.

So was Brittney Spears at one point.

Exactly.  Not up to the state to decide what products are "appropriate" it is up to the market to show if there is a demand for it.  If company's cannot make money off something, they will stop making it.  Otherwise, not bothered by what other people enjoy.

I'm sorry haha, I have a test tomorrow and I'm studying this stuff now. Any other day I wouldv'e followed the normal course of internet debates

Such things never bother me as there's a rather serious cultural divide on this issue and I can hardly blame western countries for reacting the way they do.

It's pretty simple really... So long as Japanese developers insist on sexualizing the young and pasting giant breasts and skimpy outfits onto bodies that are often clearly intended to look very young if not prepubescent, they're going to run into problems with censors in the west.

There's two very, very different standards of what is acceptable and even ethical here, so people ought to stop feigning surprise or outrage when this happens.

you compare Valkyrie Profile to Valkyrie Drive which are completley different games from different devolopers/publishers, please think before you type 

but westerners could say this about any anime character, like where is the end here? look at your FF9, the characters look like 11 years old and get sexualized

Japan excepts all these burtal Call of Duty games simulating real wars, i remember playing CoD 4 and being shocked how similiar it was to the Iraq War, an unjust war made out of lies and killed millions of people and we see the problems still today.
