Those works all have merit, and are just as worthy of being shared with the world at large as any other. The world needs creators willing to tell mature stories and create mature works for mature people. Our company was founded by a collaboration of eroge developers, so the freedom to tell creative stories and to include sexual expression in those stories is a key element to their identity that we continue to uphold. Part of why we localize eroge is for those reasons. Sexual expression is just as important to our culture, our individuality, and our needs as people, so there’s no good reason to be dismissive of it. The second, of course, is the mistaken assumption that there’s something inherently bad or wrong with pornography or any work created with the goal of arousing and exciting readers. Being able to include those elements only furthers the depth a story can offer. Sexuality is an important aspect of human nature, personal relationships, and character development. The first of course, is the judgmental assumption that featuring sexuality and sex as one element of a story devalues the entire work or product, which couldn’t be further from the truth. MangaGamer: Well, the idea of labeling all eroge as “just porn” is rather discriminatory and prejudiced from the start for several reasons.
