DOA: Dimensions Pulled from Sweden over Child Pornography Allegations

Longtime series Dead or Alive, well-known for its female laws of physics has recently hit a road block with its European distributor Bergsala, reports Eurogamer. Bergsala and Nintendo of Europe have chosen not to release the game in Sweden due to concerns over a law that states that the depiction of underage girls in pornographic situations, even if they aren't real, is a serious no-no. The well-developed 16-year-olds: Kasumi, Ayane, and Kokoro all qualify as underage.​

​

Though there is no actual pornographic material in the game, Bergsala feels the ability to take said girls and have them pose for the player in skimpy outfits for private "photoshoots" is pushing it, and the distributor has chosen to not take any chances. Sweden will also not be the only country to be hit by the pulling of the game, Denmark and Norway will also be facing the same.​

One of the very few things I'm ashamed of about my beloved country. Even the US with it's Biblethumping fanatics consider lolicon/shotacon (child porn featuring imaginary cartoon characters) protected by law as freedom of expression. And why not, keep the pedophiles wanking away by their PC instead of molesting actual children in a van somewhere... This really makes me sad, regular members might note that I've on multiple occasions expressed pride on how liberal Sweden is.

To make it even screwier, I can legally go out and pick up a 15 years old girl and have sex with her. A real girl, not fictitious. How f***ed up isn't it that fictional girls enjoy greater protection by law than actual ones? If I weren't so lazy, I'd get politically involved and point out the level of stupidity involved in this case but do I look like someone who isn't lazy?

I'm not into fighting games, I'll mourn for my Viking brethren who are though...
