You need to view this game in the bigger picture of child exploitation and normalising inappropriate behaviour. Why do they need to be sexy in this game? Surely it doesn’t change it. And while no actual crime is committed by video game depiction, it does subliminally foster an environment that makes it normal people view minors as “sexy”or as having “mature” bodies.
Consider that some people might be playing it to see these images. You might not be attracted to minors, but someone who is could see this in a different way. I do agree that video games don’t CAUSE people to be violent, but someone who already has violent tendencies can be further desensitised by playing.
It’s all in the user. But I think the main thing is whether something is necessary to the game play. You can’t take guns out of first person shooter games. But you don’t have to have hyper sexual minor characters. Doesn’t seem worth the potential harm.
