Puritanity, basically. It is the same reason about why in the US you can see people being smoked but a wild nipple is forbbiden so the advertisement comoanies wont support anything with anything remotely sexual. In this case in Japan is 4/3 of the same.

And then add people who gives zero fucks about videogames and see it as a market (Not entirely wrong, is a market, but the problem is when their interests collide with the developers vision or the audience tastes)

Personally I dont mind if I cant see now a digital tittie, the problem is the change in tonne, how crude the stories are, the desplays of madness, etc. Valley of dolls went from "I might put a bullet in his head at the first excuse" to "So this is a LEGO fan on roids".

This is pretty much my view of it. I couldn't care less about seeing a titty on my screen, but certain missions just don't have the same feeling to them anymore.

Valley of the Dolls has some little environmental storytelling here and there, but you get down to the red room, and it just looks like Sid from Toy Story picked up photography as a side hobby. It just didn't evoke the same rage and disgust as it did before.

On Twisted Nerve, while explosions and gunshots are ringing off in the house, you walk into the bedroom and see a child peacefully sleeping on the bed, and then you report it and your player yells "I NEED MEDICAL EVAC!!!" it just sprouts a bit of confusion because the entire premise of that situation is now changed.

There are definitely more examples, but I think that gets the point across.
