Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 148784, member: 1510"] None of this excuses the pedophilia, sexism, Nazis, transphobia, or classism. Fans keep on falsely claiming that detractors are complaining that it's "too anime" when in reality, the complaint is that game leans so hard into otaku culture that it even includes the dark side of it — and makes no serious attempt to condemn that, but instead treats it like a joke to revel in (or just hand-waves away the problem entirely). Look, there's nothing wrong with aspects of anime being in it; the series has been very anime since [I]Xenogears[/I]. And otaku culture is not that big of a problem (though a bit odd to have within this fantasy world). But having the most despicable parts of it treated as perfectly fine makes the game unlikable. And I should note, I actually really loved XC1, and enjoyed XCX despite the bad writing and shit dialogue. But XC2 went over the line and the series has never made a serious attempt to repair what they damaged. [/QUOTE]
