The large text says "the girls who appear in this game are over 18."
What do you think of anime and eroge where they have girls who look like they are 5 but set the characters age as being way older? Like Moetan - shes supposed to be 16 or something right?

Whahahaha, thats a funny way to be politically correct. i once saw an hentai anime in which the main female character transformed from adult to 5 years old.
And then there is always the story of little monica of which the fact it never got banned and even got dubbed to English is a modern miracle.

Real age is 18, while they look like 5 year old (or pre-pubertal) children ?
Highly suspicious & downright illegal. But hey, its Japan. If it sells, they are money to be made (in a sick sort of manner). >=(
I pity the creeps who buy this s**t & the makers when they get busted by police for making & distributing "dubious" material like this and branding it as an eroge.
there should be some measure of standards for this, but there are none, regretttably.

Loli manga/ anime/ and games are legal in Japan if I remember correctly. I know it is in the US. Yet it's still disturbing, and looked down upon. Then again, anything loli never is sold because of all the crap that can be thrown at the publisher in the US.

It's just drawings and not real so who cares? Banning it would be as ridiculous as banning computer games because of pixel blood. Governments usually still have real problems to take care of.
This isn't exactly matching my taste either, but banning it for this very reason would be idiotic and wouldn't help anyone.

Playing Doom and Counterstrike could make someone want to shot a real person, too. While you can't completely rule out the possibility this is something highly unlikely to happen.

It depends on other rules set in the universe where the story takes place. If it clearly stands out relevant to the rest of the content, and it isn't done so for comedy, then I question its use as an excuse to bypass censorship.
If there is no other justification for whatever takes place as a result of this sort of disclaimer, and this naming is consistent inside of that storyworld, I accept it to be the norm for that storyworld.
Similar is when protagonists just happen to not be human, as justification for ...humanizing them and neglecting social standards when situations questioning human behavior, occur.

I could care less, in 2D everything has no "age", you could have a woman who looks like she is 80 be 17 years old, because it's just that, it's not real.
I've watched countless anime where the females look younger like Moetan, and even anime where the female IS that "young" like Kodomo No Jikan. To me it's a style, and nothing more. I prefer the 'loli' look over the women who have breasts 2x the size of their head, and look like they can float in water. To me giant breasts like that is more of an annoyance than anything else.
Does that preference that I have of a loli style over an "adult" appearance make me attracted to real life children? Nope, it doesn't. Sure I think little kids are cute, but that's it. In my mind, loli anime style and real life kids are separate things.
Of course we have those here and elsewhere on the net, that feel the 'loli' appearance is enough to make them scream "taboo" and associate it with people who think sexually of real life children, but thats far from the case with a huge majority of people who like the 'loli' style.
I think for most, its kind of like a scene reference, its nothing more than a joke, and the opinion of most that the style is moe.

- "a woman who looks like she is 80 be 17 years old" (impossible appearance)
- "the women who have breasts 2x the size of their head, and look like they can float in water" (oversexualized women to a point of extreme exaggeration)
...If those are not extreme examples, I don't know what they are; I also never thought I had to explain why they would be seen as such.

Dude you obviously have not seen many anime have you?
One example is Tenjou tenge, one of the characters have a form of a 11 year old girl, but when she gets serious she transforms into a 17-18 year old with huge breasts.
There are other animes where a character looks young but is actually hundreds of years old, example would be bleach. Many of the shinigamis are hundreds of years old, but they look young?
I could keep going on, but nothing I said is an extreme example, because they all EXIST in anime.

i agree with BandAid, theres nothing wrong with 2-d loli as its 2-d.
it no real in anyway and who is it harming by just watching it?
there has alway been public out cry about loli being evil and tht it should be burned and what not just because the drawing show character under age but it like big deal its not real people it only fictional.
its mass hyster, gonna be doomed like the UK were we arnt allowed to bring a camera to ur own kids soccer match without being called a pedo. it a sad world when this starts happening all over the world.
in the end anything that 2-d stay in 2-d

in real life, there are people like that. Me being one good example. I'm currently 20, and i still get comments like "You look 14". No, I mean really. I look "14"...It was probably due to Growth hormone deficiency.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone_deficiency
And in anime terms, I dun think there's anything wrong with 10 yr old girls posing to be 18 yr old girls. Moetan, manabi straight, etc are animes that portray children as "18"..
and to those who think pedos cause great harm to society, why not drag in porn? Porn is harmful to society too, but no one seems to bother about it. Why? Oh..they are adults have sex..that's all...
Well, that's wrong.. Cos serial rapist start by watching pron. They do not start by watching loli porn. Child rape cases starts when these rapist start wanting to have more fun
and and excitement and from there, they start going after little children.
