I just love that this rather atypical japanese character design is somehow more offensive than the current status quo of sexualized pre-teen and brother/sister incest wish fulfillment fantasies. Of course most people are just familiar with the material which gets marketed to the west , which generally involves big boobs or muscly men or jsut some big explody robots or people fighting with spirit bombs.
Im glad vanillaware is cutting down on its loli-style character designs (prove to me the ages of the 3 playable female characters in odin sphere and ill take the loli bit back)
and to get started on japans LATENT homophobic culture , would be a whole other kettle of fish .. I think its sad but japanese people have some extremely homophobic representations of gay people that are openly accepted and considered "good entertainment"
..for example in the widely popular manga/anime One piece theres a whole subset of "okama" characters with their "okama kenpo" fighting style , which may as well be like calling a fighting style "fag-fu" ..
Im just saying , dragons crown seems to be quite a tasteful piece of artwork compared to what they actually use for sexual objectification in japan.
