Geez there are a ton of creepy people here. I don't care if the age of consent is 13 in some places in Japan, it's not in the country I'm viewing it in so maybe have a sexualized 13-year old on my screen isn't going to do me any favours.

I'm genuinely shocked at how many creepy people are defending a half-naked young teenage character given distinct, sexualized characteristics and acting like it's okay because it's more accepted in the game's home country. The fact that's she fictional is pretty irrelevant, it's still a portrayal of an underage character.

And the huge factor that I think everyone seems to be overlooking is that this is hugely hypocritical for SE - given that they recently addressed nude mods in a recent live letter explicitly calling out mods which sexualized characters in the game to the point of making them illegal in some countries. Bare in mind, the "Some countries" part was addressed directly, as in they complained that they didn't want the game to become illegal in those countries*.

*THIS MEANS NOT JAPAN, SO THE "IT'S LEGAL THERE" PART IS IRRELEVANT.

Please stop being creepy people. It's okay to say "Maybe they shouldn't do this to such a young character".
