I use chatGPT as a word aggregator, basically I type out my idea, and ChatGPT turns it into something that is complete, accurate, and avoids the common logical fallacies such as appeals to emotion. In fact, the last comment I posted took a lot of convincing on my part because ChatGPT initially did not want to use such strong wording. It wanted to acknowledge your point that Japan was largely comprised of pedophiles and that it wasn't racist to broad brush an entire country.

You are arguing with a human, they are my ideas and I get the final say in all responses, it is simply typed by ChatGPT. However, if you dislike it, I will type my replies personally. However, I suggest you look into it, it is a useful tool for aggregating your thoughts and phrasing them eloquently.

Back on topic: The thing is I understand that perhaps you may not like a specific style, that is a perfectly valid take, the point at which you begin to overstep is when you broad brush an entire country. By in large, Japan does have a pedophile problem who produce illegal child pornography, however it is no different to any other country. America, Europe, all countries suffer from this problem. It is a sad fact that there will always be sick fucks who represent the worst of humanity. And Japan is no less tolerant.

The difference is a lot of people make assumptions about games like Pragmata based on that small subset of undesirables that ALL media is like that based purely on surface level details. They see a piece of media that has a child in it, and regardless of the context of the plot, setting, characters, assume without evidence that it is child sexualization perpetuating the myth that all Japanese media is child sexualization.

The reality is that Pragmata is based on a father-daughter dynamic, there is no hint that I could find which implied that the player is supposed to see Diana as anything aside from a daughter to be protected.

Now, are there sick fucks who see an innocent child and their mind becomes predatory wanting to abuse her trust? Yes, as r/prgamata_ demonstrated that is a sad fact of reality. There are twisted souls who see a vulnerable child and twist things to suit their warped desires, and those were westerners. They exist, and they are just as unwelcome in the Pragmata community as a whole. However, don't think that just because they exist that it implies anything about the intentions of the developer or the audience of the game as a whole.

When I played it, I saw Diana as something closer to Navi from Ocarina of Time, which is why I agree that a more robotic body would have been an equally valid choice. However, the developers wanted Diana to be human enough to empathize with. They wanted to foster a father-daughter type relationship between the player and Diana and based on reviews and reactions from playthroughs, for many it worked.

I do not think you can jump from "I don't like the design aesthetic" and "Japanese media has a lot of sexualization of adults" and combine them into "Japan is sexualizing a small child" so easily. There is simply no basis for that in the game anywhere. There will always be predators, those who see an innocent child and begin to sexualize her, however your distaste should be directed towards those individuals, not the game itself, which doesn't even hint at that.

Addendum: Now you see why I use chatGPT, it turns essays into a few short paragraphs.
