So i'm curious...
Am I the only one who is kinda laughing their ass off right now over this controversy about Gal*Gun (A new English language release of a Japanese game where you use a pheromone gun to please cute anime girls and get them to strip to their underwear and love you) getting rated "E for Everyone", lately?
Because a bunch of moral crusaders and outraged people right now are like "Oh no! Mild sexual content!! How dare this be rated E and be in the hands of all ages?!?!"
Personally speaking, while I am SURPRISED it got this rating, I am not particularly having ANY problem with this, and find the controversy laughable.
Laughable in the fact that, yeah, the ESRB has spoken and the game is rated E, and now a lot of SJW's and prudes are flipping their shit about something they can't do anything about now. :P
I mean, I look at it this way. This game's sexual content is actually pretty damn mild, all things considered. As far as i'm aware there's no explicit nudity.
But I think why people are losing their crap is because the CONCEPT of the game... Changing girls that are standoffish and seem angry at you, into girls that are suddenly super happy, aroused and ready to strip to their underwear because you are essentially zapping them with a ray that makes them amorous with cartoony little hearts bubbing around their heads.
I feel like it's that concept that is getting feminists and SJW's mad, or people who regard this as "creepy weeaboo prevertedness" (which i'm pretty sure a LARGE number of people here are all for).
Does that mean it really DOES deserve an E? Actually... no. I'm surprised as anyone. I DO think a game like this at the very least SHOULD have gotten a T for Teen, at the very least. I mean let's be honest. But just because I EXPECTED it, not like I personally would have rated it that way.
But nonetheless, I find it humorous that it's getting an E. Like, lucky, you know? :P Like finding an extra $20 on the ground, or getting two cans of soda in a vending machine when you only pushed the button for one.
And the double standardness of the people getting mad over the concept more than the rating, and trying to play the "WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?" card over a couple of anime girls in their underwear and a ray gun that changes their personality?
I find it silly. The game was rated, Was it a mistake? Maybe. But it can't go back now, and quite frankly... this game is still a million times more harmless for kids than a game (which I like) such as GTA V (even though I am an adult, and that game is FOR my demographic).
So, whoop-de-frickin-do... a game is probably going to awaken more of a general audience to some incredibly softcore hypno-ish, anime girls-in-panties fetish action. As far as I see it? Not a big problem. Not a problem at ALL, I might even say.
I got turned on by cartoon girls when I was a kid myself, despite the FCC and the network censors doing their best to try and keep it from happening and trying to keep things as innocent as possible (even when certain avant-garde animators rebelled a little from time to time and got it past the radar, regardless). The process here isn't much different than any of that.
I'm just having a big ol' hearty laugh at this little "controversy".
How 'bout you guys? :P
