Rapelay video game hypocrisy

Want proof? Wander into a typical game forum and mention Conception: Please Have My Baby or, even better, Love Plus. But it’s also highlighted for me a hypocritical, borderline offensive trend in the west that I have felt it’s high time I commented on, and boiled down it’s this: games (almost always Japanese games) that are high in sexual content (whether perceived or genuine) are derided while violence (FPSers being the tip of the iceberg) is glorified. Produced by Spike Chunsoft, it’s got reliable pedigree behind it, and the trailers and critical reception in Japan should see it become a cult hit in the West.
