@Count Fragula: Now this is interesting. I searched for Tina Yuzuki and learnt that Rio is in fact 23, Mihiro is 27. Rio looks like she's 27 and Mihiro looks like she's 23. #rio
@jandlecack & @Kobun: Oops, you both misunderstood me. What I actually meant was that I read jandlecack's comment wrong at first and thought he stated the obvious: Man she is not. I guess I should have clarified a bit. I think she is very hot. ;)
She holds some kind of record for most AV video's published by one porn actress if I remember correctly. She's had a new one out pretty much every month for years now..... (why do I know that... you don't want to know?!?!) #rio
This article is indicative of a huge problem with the gaming public: even our press is buying into the absurd double-standard.
M Rating = R Rating
AO Rating = NC-17 Rating
Would a small blip of pubic hair on an animated character get an NC-17 rating in a movie? No. It would get PG-13 at most. It's a stretch to call this M-Rated, and patently ridiculous to even suggest that it deserves an AO.
And yet our enthusiast press here at Kotaku have drank the kool-aid. You've decided that Jack Thompson is right and that any and all titillating content must be near-pornographic.
I long for the day that games are considered an equal medium to television and film. Articles like this aren't helping that cause. #nsfw
@JBourrie: i know you're busy making a good point and all but i'd like to point out that the MPAA would more than likely refuse classifiction of a film with an animated character that shows pubic hair. cartoons are 'for kids' after all. #nsfw
@JBourrie: of course it's not true but it's just close enough to the reality that is adult animation in america that it's funny and sad all at the same time. (yes it's a case of text cannot convey sarcasm, other than that my name is next to it and all). #nsfw
Really? I'd rate the shots posted as PG-13... something as risque as that would even get published on PS2 - though I didn't follow the link to the game site. #nsfw
@fuchikoma: Yeah, that extra bit of skin there in the pubic region is nothing more than what may be visible in a small bikini, big deal. That alone wouldn't pull more than a PG-13. #nsfw
@Anunnaki: That shit is tame according to US 12 year olds as well, I'd bet. There's nothing to really be upset about, except for the fact that people are actually gasping at this. First we think a witch touching game (which no one on here has given a try, by the way) is scandalous, now its because there is a little bit of skin showing. News flash, she's showing cleavage too, it's the SAME thing, and no one's bitching about that.
At least we're over the OMG FURRY crap. Oh wait, let me guess, half of us are on about that. I just think that Americans are pseudo-prudes. They get disgusted at this, meanwhile they have no time being a goddamn pervert everyday. Weeeeeeeeeeee. /endrant #nsfw
@FearfulInsomniac: I know right? When I was young and didn't know any better and stuff like this (which I was expose to when I was in S.Korea and then moved to America) and my parents are acting so ridiculously weird either try to change the subject/channel/direction without an explanation when I got expose to something like this.
From my point of view at the time seamed that they're too ashamed about near nakedness on a cartoon. Made me wonder if they're too afraid of their own nakedness, then later when I got older I realized that it's the whole country that is pretty prude but yet flaunting their sexuality when fully clothed (ads) kinda baffles me to no end even to this day. #nsfw
@RicoTheSaboteur: Yeah, the harp thing I had going on, those were the times. What can I say? I discovered crack, and now I my waste my days shooting at people and assaulting ladies.
Ah, well. Tarantino called, he wants to bring me back to the silver screen acting against Sam L. Jackson in his new amish-themed crime romantic comedy Rubber Stamp. So it's all good. #nsfw
However, all I can think of is that there is a rather wavy line concerning this subject matter.
I mean come on, it's nakedness, what guy hasn't seen a naked chick, picture or IRL?
My thought is that as long as there is no rape or brutality, it's all good.
Now if the characters are bimbos that suck dick on a drop of a dime... That's a bit different... Again.
I think we may be forgetting just how crazy some of the content is that makes it into M-rated games. In God of War you literally tear. dudes. heads. off. I don't think a bit of crotch is such a big deal. #nsfw
@SonicTheMonkey: In God of War you also have tits in front of your face on multiple occasions, and compared to Dante's Inferno, this thing is a Rembrandt. #nsfw

Anime that is brought over to the US has no problem getting an R-rating, even those with copious amounts of nudity (Paprika, for instance). #nsfw
