The Place for Purging Porn and Pedo-Pandering (AKA P5 flag evaluations)

I don't know what age any of the characters in the visual novel are, but in the tabletop game, all characters are 13-17 years old.

I'm not seeing any reason to think there's anything but teen/teen so far. Or, necessarily any reason to think there's not for that matter. There's a distinct lack of solid information at the moment.

(As for the picture posted earlier, the most recent piece of what seems to be official concept art I can find looks so totally different that I wouldn't even recognize them as the same character. So that's not necessarily a useful data point anymore.)

Any chance you can link to the new art?

Here.

The girl with the stripey socks is the new Sara.

Also, it's worth pointing out that "there will be (offscreen) sex" does not mean that -everyone- will do so. The tabletop game's rules wouldn't place any barriers, but that doesn't mean it'll actually be in the game. (Besides, there actually is another method to reach Intimacy 5, although the eligibility requirement is pretty strict...)

Hmm, that art style sure looks safe to me.

Josh and Sara can Level-Up at Intimacy 5 through one method and one method only.

The only exception to said rule for Intimacy 5 is with blood relationships.

...discrimination against shows with good art!

Yep. I was speaking in general due to the presence of all those other characters, about whom if there are any details, I don't know them.

Since neither Josh nor Sara in that art look all that young, I'm not seeing their particular situation as much of a concern.

I heavily doubt that this will pass as opposed to the tabletop game it's based off of.

Now, why was Bliss Stage cut again? If it was for explicit sex, the sequel should pass.

Well it's a tabletop game, so there'd only be explicit sex if they the players were pervs.

It was cut because you have sex to get to the last intimacy level and characters can be as young as 13.

Actually, the core game should be reviewed, I think.

However, I will note that it is a game where 13-to-17-year-olds power up their mecha by screwing each other.

EDIT: Ninjaaaaaaaaa

If this is still an option, then the sequel will need a cut as well.

I don't know how old Sara is, so I can't say.

And this isn't a sequel, it's an adaptation. </nitpick>

If its worth anything the table top game has an easy way to remove to the sex without effecting anything else.

You cap intimacy at 4 and assume everything is nonsexual.

That is a good idea.

I'm just not seeing how you're supposed to evaluate the content of something when the content does not seem to -exist- yet.

Yeah, maybe we put this on hold till it comes out with an official release.

Any remark on my findings on Face The Strange? It's not porn (apparently the plot is about killing Dumbledore) and the 12-year old boy's penis seems to be a throwaway gag (not titillating) and kids of that age kinda do play around with their penises. There's a link to the fic on the page

What are the ages of the kids involved in the first sex scene? I originally devil-headed it based on my assumption that they were "kids from the first HP book aged", given them being inducted and having classes selected like Harry and crew were in the books. Without evidence to indicate that they are older, that first seen was enough to justify a devil head to me.

From the character page (http://xdallyx.webs.com/characters.htm) it seems that most are 16 or 16+ and look like it, except Sasuke, who is 12.

AFAIK, the sex scene wasn't about him, just the throwaway penis gag (not looked like titillation)

I'll take another look at it, then, and see if it merits changing my vote.

In other news, after watching several episodes I don't see how anyone could view Anime.Oruchuban Ebichu as porn. Giving it the third angel to resolve it.

eta: In regards to Manga.Hen, the scene where the lead character is raped by a prepubescent boy really does damn it. (For reference to the other panel members, it's located in Vol. 5 Chapter 60.) After seeing that, I'm definitely going to be giving this one a devil-head.

I haven't voted on what to do with Esper Mami, Variable Geo or Amuri In Star Ocean yet. Remind me again, what's the score with them?

Esper Mami? Isn't that a kid's magical girl show?

Here are the costumes from Star Ocean.◊ Note the character on the right who looks about ten wearing almost nothing...

Oh, that's the one which we thought the pedophiles would have to smoke crack to be pandered to.
