    I mean, yeah maybe? I could be brain poisoned or I could just have enjoyed the game too much to have really noticed but the feeling it always gave me was just like, "welcome to the 1940s, women are objects" but then this woman is also such a badass that the men can't get away with it.

    Up until now I didn't even know Filia was canonically underage tbh if you'd asked me to guess her age I'd have said at least 18 without batting an eye so I hadn't even considered that scene in that light.

    Like I said though, not cut up about it. I will reinstall this evening and take a look at how they changed it.

      I haven't seen the change, but if you look at the original cutscene, it's clearly a porn-brained depiction of sexual assault. You can feature sexual assault in your art, even have it be a main element, without depicting it in an eroticized manner.

      I don't have an interest in judging your character, but at the same time I think I was reflexively a bit distressed because there's a piece of shit on this board that goes to incredible lengths to defend the depiction of rape (etc.) in Goblin Slayer as "progressive, actually," so I kind of thought "God damn it, not you too!" Just being oblivious is whatever.
