    Much as I’ll admit all such debacles are silly, sometimes I wonder if games have been harmed in other ways by that type of prude adjustment.

    Like, I was playing an Atelier game, got to a city, and there was a tall building that intrigued me. I wanted to pan my camera up to it, but the Y axis was tightly restricted. As the protagonist wears a skirt, you can guess why.

    It makes me wonder what’s the absolute worst reaction of someone less pervy who’d trigger such a view by accident - whether they’d actually feel a sense of violation or creepiness at their own camera movement, or more likely just giggle it off and pan back.

      The people who throw fits about stuff like that don’t play the games in the first place

        And if they did, they’d be the first ones to be looking up those skirts. That’s why they think everyone else is doing it.

          I mean looking up video game character skirts is harmless anyway. I imagine most people do it at some point or another. It’s the puritanical shame that’s the problem

            I don’t have any problems with people looking up video game skirts. It’s the hypocrisy I’m pointing out. The people who complain the most and try to take the rights away from other people are the ones who are most likely to be doing the bad thing themselves.
