Wow... this fucking thread.
I wouldn't have said that the sexualization is that nuts in DQXI. I would say it is more tasteful than the average JRPG (which isn't a super high bar these days). That being said, there are definitely examples where the game is clearly trying to tantalize. There is nothing wrong with calling that out. In fact, I think calling it out, even if just as an aside, is the responsible thing to do. What a dumb battle for Angry Joe to fight. What a dumb battle for so many of the people in this thread to have fought...
Why shouldn't people simply call a spade a spade? Why do people need to dance around the subject and throw every lazy excuse in the book at it in some desperate attempt to minimize it? Why is some dude on youtube, with a shockingly large following, compelled to make a video arguing against it? It is a bad look, guys.
