Yes, it is borderline pornography, at the very least it is titillating erotic content with little value outside of that. But I have to disagree on the point of Sony not acting due to demand from the public. Such actions are always performed to prevent negative reactions that could be hurtful to the brand and thus Sony must have gotten the impression that it is indeed in public demand to act on such content. I think Sony's policies are reflective of the prudery in the US which has been on the rise (from a pretty high level anyway).
It is certainly not my kind of content, but in a world where games glorifying violence such as GTA and RDR and those romanticising war such as CoD or Battlefield are being heavily marketed on Sony systems, it is clearly a hypocritical move to ban some anime breasts. I want no part in either of those, but I cannot believe people think they are fighting for a greater good by complaining about anime breasts while financially supporting ultra violent games such as the ones I have talked about above. If one affects how people act in real life negatively (e.g. promoting disrespectful behaviour towards women), why would the other be harmless? And the argument that violent games are restricted towards reflected adult humans is inconsequential, it would have to be applied to erotic content as well.
That being said, of course a posting by JordanN can safely be assumed to be trollish and unbalanced. But I think this is precisely the reason why engaging with his constant stream of outrage posts is a waste of time.
Don't get me wrong. Like I said before I am not supporting Sony's censorship rules the way they stand now. I know that they are currently all over the fucking place. They need to nail down exactly what is and isn't okay in black and white for the devs and the public. Though I think the fact that some of the female characters in that game are 15 and 16yrs old is playing a big part in their decision to single out that game in particular and I don't blame them for that part one bit. Even if they haven't fixed the games that are already on the console that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to fix new ones that are coming if they feel they are violating their rules. Especially if it involves characters that are underage.
And you are 100% right on the last part. I should have learned my lesson by now.
