Comment on Neptunia: “Plain Old Ugly Japanese Sexism” “20%” by Shippoyasha:

I’m with you Shuubi.

But I AM pretty offended with how the gameplay itself is something straight out of the stone ages and even the grandfather of ALL RPGs in the likes of Ultima 2 is actually deeper than games like this.. Idea Factory just isn’t doing themselves any favors I think. Maybe they just need to get more ambitious with the writing and uniqueness in their games. It makes me sad because the art of the girls in Neptunia is gorgeous.

In a way, I wish people had the attitude towards sensual sexuality and nudity the way Brazilians do. In the way they not only see it as something sexy, but something innately human and even something holy (Carnival is a strictest of religious festivals and yet they celebrate nudity as something God handed to them).

I don’t expect everyone to be nude from waist down or anything of course. I just wish there was a bit less outrage and more human acceptance.

Then again, the way they hawked the girls in Neptunia without giving it a decent enough game on top is kind of exploitative… It exploits the gamers. XD

  Yeah. That assessment sounds about right. I guess I was putting the general attitudes of nudity as something sacred (at least in ideology). I don’t want to crap on Brazil but it definitely does have its problems. And yeah, Latin celebrations and parties has some tendency to go into crazy territory with the noise and drugs and the seedy stuff like that I hear. That’s all on me since I was talking ideology, not reality. XD

  Bluray would be a good option if they weren’t so hideously expensive. It’s not like how it is in the West where most Bluray are priced criminally low (unless it’s a well known TV show, where they mark up the prices to Japanese-levels)

  Japan is such a great nation when it doesn’t have wackos who tries to push out a ‘clean’ nation filled with yes men/women who only live a certain way and of course, everything foreign and different and alternative is all evil and needs to be kicked out of Japan ASAP. As a nation, it should be a shameful thing to preach on like this. Especially for a conquering nation that was hell bent on taking over foreign lands for hundreds of years with countless failed attempts (and several successful ones …

  I think it had enough drama to be impactful regardless. I still wonder why Tomoe Mami is chosen over Miki Sayaka considering Sayaka suffered so much throughout the season and was arguably the main hero of the story.

  I kind of wish the blue and white part of her uniforms were reversed. Because the blue outline makes her look wider than she is. /fashion-geek
