Just don't have it in the pants pockets on the back if you set it that way.  It had to be done.  |

Cell phones vibrate. There's always a workaround that can completely defeat the original intention of the plotline. Hmm... They could make it a cell phone and the evidence is on the phone rather the item itself. Wow, I had exactly the same thoughts before I read your postings. Yeah, there's girly stuff saved on the phone that only girls would download. Problem solved! From what I've seen so far, the only scene I'd really complain about is the golfer rubbing his whatever. Would like to know what he says. If the "rubbing" isn't important for his speaking lines, they could just remove these movements. Sad to see that the American society is still more or less underdeveloped in some issues. Two men kissing would be by far the last of these four things I'd care about. In this case, I'm glad to live in a country where the acceptance for alternate sexual orientations is higher than in the US (at least my country allows same-sex unions by law). But it's not generally like that in Europe (only look at Poland...). Before someone asks, I'm not homosexual. The world should be painted dark green.

It's an online poll, it should not really be taken that seriously, that same site that had the poll was the one that also had the poll on "what they’d be most concerned about their 17-year-old child indulging in while at a sleepover." And here were the results. 49% - smoking marijuana 19% - playing Grand Theft Auto 16% - watching pornography 14% - drinking beer Do you want to trust that site now? You have to take into account that's it's online an anyone could affect it as well. Here's an article about the following two polls. |

And that will be one of the reasons if Captain Rainbow doesn't get released in North America. |

Though I don't have a problem with homosexuals, I've been to Tampa Bay in Florida. Let's just say I've seen enough underwear with holes in the back *shudders* |

Uhuh... cell phones vibrate. Hey, we have no proof the vibrating object in Birdo's room isn't a cell phone. So how come most think of it as the most suggestive object? Because that's the most reasonable thing to be in a raunchy game like this.
And no way will you let the game go with an E10 rating as Crazy Tracy massages her breasts and pulls pocky out of her cleavage. Golf guy rattles his nuts... NOA's too much of a pussy to put it as a T rating cause nobody has the balls to blame the parents buying the games and causing all the controversy, so we're not getting the game.
Tadah! Europe might have a chance but with the third Phoenix Wright game being delayed for ridiculously minor content not as bad as this, I think not likely.

Because that's the most reasonable thing to be in a raunchy game like this. Is the game really that raunchy as our recent discussion implies? In the character trailers, there was almost no "raunchy" content, and I think these already showed a good outline of the game. There's the big breasted Tracy and a rubbing golfer, but otherwise? Birdo's gender controversy has there been forever. I don't see any questionable content at Mappo, Tao, Drake Redcrest, Little Mac, Hikari, Lip and the Devil/Demon. Overexcited young man (Takamaru) with nosebleed, dwarfish guys (soldiers) who are peeping toms, these stereotypes can be seen in many anime also shown in the western world. Well, I only think of the character trailers I've seen (there was no trailer for the golfer, who is the only real "shocking" one for me), I could also be wrong at all... |

I don't know anyone who has a problem with sex. When I go to work though, I see lots of old people who complain when I put Franz Ferdinand and The Eagles on our radio. (I work at a pizza place) My generation seems to be rebelling against the constant sheltering of the boomer generation. I believe in 10 more year (maybe less) sex will be as tolerable here as it is in Europe. ...which is kinda sad. I like sex, er...porn. |

The funny thing about it all too is that the baby boomers, by and large, were the hippies and revolutionaries of the 60s. But when they got to having their own kids, they were like "Oh shit, we need to like... raise them to be good kids." And so all of us who ended up being their kids had incredibly sheltered upbringings compared to their own. I remember once in my Sociology class the professor said something like "each parent generation wants to give their kids a better life than their own, up to and including banning them from all the bad things they did." So I wonder if all of our kids will be the crazy hippies and renegades of the 2020s and beyond? |

I never did many bad things, so I can only wonder what my child will turn out.

So, I take it the already seen in videos characters, plus Tao and Redcrest are the only characters in the game? I wsa hoping for more, but this isn't so bad.
