Game Censorship & Localization General Thread

[Baraka Obama]

Dragon Ball had plenty of that, and it's been a popular touchstone of Japanese culture for decades now.

You will notice newer dragon ball manga and episodes do not have this stuff. When older episodes are rebroadcast a lot of the pantie shots are cut out.

I know first hand Japanese mamas that are reluctant to let their boys get the older manga or watch the older show because of the pantie jokes and Roshi.

How the fuck does that happen? Most shonen are more violent than those games.

CERO is far more strict on games than the equivalent ratings bodies for other media. Video games are interactive so they're the devil, essentially.
Movies can show nudity at any age rating, but games rated by CERO simply can't at any rating.
And the upper limit of violence they allow with a Z rating is much lower than what other countries allow, so even with an 18+ rating, most violent games are censored.

Oh of course they are, but you know most Japanese people really, really hate otaku culture right? Even censored porn on DVD has a big social stigma, you start adding in comics of kids being fucked it's easily 80-90% of the population that's against this stuff, and most see upskirts as being part of the same culture.

I doubt that.

Japan is way more open about otaku shit than the west is. Good luck finding gunpla at the local grocery shop, or finding anime merch in pound land, or people reading manga/watching anime on a train.

The hobby stuff isn't an issue. Gunpla is popular for kids. Same with anime.

The issue the adult shut ins that want to rape kids.
