Are people really mad about nudity, or are they just mad that it's not all het nudity?
Edit: ok so after some research, looks like full nudity is an optional setting, and all body models (male or female) can have dicks or vulvas. Which makes me think there's an anti trans component to complaints as well.
They're mad that Japanese games get criticism for sexual themes, but not western ones. Examples being Dead or Alive and Street fighter characters where panties and bikinis are shown. No one is mad at the nudity itself of BG3.
Do these people get mad about the nudity in those games in general, or do they get mad about those games almost exclusively reserving that nudity for women? Because there is a difference. I haven't played those games so I'm genuinely curious.
The type celebrating nudity in baldurs gate are usually prudes who argue for censorship, oppose nudity and sexual content, etc when it comes to Japanese games. Sane people are pointing out this obvious hypocrisy.
It’s not hypocrisy because a lot of that “censorship” is over things like characters that are underage or consent issues.
You really wanna talk about “censorship,” well, in Japan, in Cyperpunk 2077, the entire section that lets you pick your genitals is cut out of the console releases and you can’t get the dildo weapon because you’re not allowed to show genitalia on consoles because consoles are seen as being “for children.”
You can't even show genetalia in porn in Japan.
Or in pretty much anything. I saw The Shape of Water in the theater when it came out, and there’s a sex scene in it. They literally blurred the few seconds of the man’s naked butt. It was very surreal.
