HA! You have proved my point exactly! Just because you publish a random number pulled out of thin air – it is then treated as factual matter.

“The Internet Says So!”

PLEASE. If this were true then Nintendo, Sony PS3, Sqaure Enix titles would all be EROGE. Comprehend and think before you speak. World of Warcraft, Second Life, DOOM combined only command 10% of the PC market !? Do you see how asinine and racially offensive your statements are?

Of course, to consumers and sellers of EROGE – especially those who can reference by title, 90% of the market would probably seem normal.

EROGE IS NOT MAINSTREAM JAPANESE CULTURE – IT IS NICHE FRINGE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER BIZARRE SUB CULTURE IN THE WORLD.

Finally, lets not forget where the glorification of RAPE in video games originates from. GRAND THEFT AUTO – published in the 90’s by Rockstar Videogames – a US video game company. It was shocking then, and it is shocking now but all of sudden it is branded as a Japanese thing. I am not defending or condoning it in any way, but what I am doing is pointing out to all discerning and educated readers is that you can not always believe what you read. Eroge is not mainstream – it does not command 90% of the PC Game Market. No matter how ‘professional’ a web source looks. As modern day citizens of the WORLD, we must learn to decipher and question all media sources and at least try to verify before taking a story for face value. THATS ALL.

This is not building a STRAWMAN – but rather – trying to inform others to be more aware and conscious of all of the INACCURATE MIS-INFORMATION that exists on the WEB. Before passing judgement on a people and its culture – first ask yourself if its true.

Strange yes, but ‘backward’ is never even implied.

As for eroge. That sick pedophyle crap is available absolutely everywhere even in most general electronic shops. So I would really not call this trend a niche fringe or whatever. PC games are 90% eroge, on windows, it’s the regular gamers that seems to be a niche market. The ratio of available pedoporn games to usual games on the windows plateform is incredible you have to ask before finding Command and Conquer. While “super happy fun teenrape joy party” is nearly given for free with each purchase of a blank DVD pack.
