Nintendo Pulls Dead Or Alive Over Porn Fears In EU

Posted by timothy on from the scandal-in-scandinavia dept.

cpu6502 writes "The new Nintendo 3DS game Dead or Alive: Dimensions is being pulled from EU member states Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The distributor said an in-game photography mode allows players to look-up the dresses of 17-year-old Ayane, Koroke, and Kasumi — which could be considered 'child porn' by local police."

    Place the blame where it should be, in the lap of Beatrice Ask. Just read this interview. She's evidently in favor of thoughtcrime; literally, she says that "children and childhood mustn't be offended" when she's asked about why drawn "child pornography" should be illegal. She's also the one who came up with the crazy suggestion that people who visit prostitutes should have mails with brightly-colored envelopes sent home to them, so that they couldn't keep it a secret from their family (or anyone who saw the letter being delivered). Fortunately, this suggestion wasn't well received by anyone else AFAIK.

    At what age do men stop looking up girls dresses? Does it really matter?

    I'm not even male yet even I do that, too!
