@northernnarwhal I've always been of the train of thought of "there are thousands of games, if a particular game goes against your morals, just don't play it" While I agree that designs must be reasonable, with things like bikini mails being plain stupid, I consider any designer should be free to put whatever they want in a game as long as they can justify it. In Quiet's case they've done so. I wouldn't say that "audience and criticism has progressed" as it hasn't made games better at all, it has just made developers wary of adding things because people would be upset about it, even when their games are rated +18. San andreas comes to mind, with hot coffee being cut off so no one would be offended; and so comes a quote by M'aiq the Liar: "I like children, we all do, but we don't want them ruining our fun" Games should have the same artistic liberties that books or music have. No one complains of the outright pornographic lyrics of many songs, so harmless sexism should be overlooked too
