    Like most things, “eurojank” and PC games had been doing it for decades since then. In large part because, once you get out of the US, nudity is just a thing as opposed to THE GREATEST THREAT TO HUMANITY BECAUSE BABY JESUS!!!

    Like, I have seen plenty of clips of streamers learning that playing older FMV games is a minefield for that reason. And those tend to be more “discretionary” rather than “We have decided that you can see Astarion’s dick”

      This is a very Eurocentric statement. Many other countries in the world actually have more restrictive rules and mores around nudity than the US does.

      But personally I think nudity should be protected as part of the human right to free expression.

          Also China and India, so like a quarter to a third of the world’s population

          Note that they’re all culturally conservative, oppressive places though.
