Western culture often criticizes games that involve violence, claiming they incentivize harmful behaviors, yet it allows the creation and distribution of violent media, such as those depicting murder. However, when it comes to sensitive themes like wincest and non-consensual sex, Western culture typically bans such depictions in games. In stark contrast, Japan permits these themes within its gaming industry, without the same level of scrutiny or restriction. Despite this, Japan remains one of the safest countries in the world, with crime rates significantly lower than those in many Western nations. This paradox challenges the common argument that games featuring violence lead to real-world aggression. If you compare the cultural standards of Japan and the West, you see that the concern about violence in games loses its credibility when you look at Japan, where such content exists but doesn't appear to have the same negative societal impact. Creativity should not be bound by the limitations of Western culture. Japan embraces a broader scope for artistic expression, showing that the boundaries placed on creativity in the West are unnecessary. Don't let Western culture limit your creativity—there's an entire world where artistic freedom thrives without the same restrictions.

It's just speech and thought control! At any time, in the Islamic golden age, the church in the Middle Ages, Victorian puritanism, censorship under socialism in my country and puritanism in the USA in the media until the beginning of the 60s. If you don't talk about it and don't show it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't automatically exist! That's nonsense. Those new woke puritans are crazy! No normal person wants to do what is described in stories like this through the media, but we must be aware of all aspects of life. For example, the Japanese description of a person's upbringing and the modern one in the West, the Japanese version turns out to be fuller, more personal, realistic with all the bad and good, life is not Twitter! But obviously, unlike us ordinary people on the street, those feminist harpies and woke fools, who are the privileged class, live outside of life in a bubble of their own...

for some reason the formatting is fucking up idk why

I get your point about violent crime but sex crime in Japan is absolutely underreported and rampant.

The authorities also don't take it seriously at all. It's only recently that the japanese rape laws acknowledged that victims who didn't fight back are still victims of rape.
