There's objectification of both sexes in media. People just tend to ignore the male side because they think that all male objectification is positive while all female objectification is negative, which is not necessarily the case. First of all, romance novels aimed towards women are a thing. Second, the sexualized female characters are not always weak or subservient to men. While I won't deny there are cases of female objectification where they are certainly are, Senran Kagura isn't one of them. Sexualized does not equal sexist.
@WiiLovePeace Actually, the original game is freeware that has been translated. You'll have to google Toushin Toshi 2 though.
@RPG_KING The original game was pretty brutal in the 18+ material. They have to censor it for better or worse. It's bizarre that the game would get a remake on the 3DS in the first place though.
@Zombie_Barioth Yeah. If parents don't want their children to get the games so badly, they should keep a close eye on them. I find it funny that the same people who want government regulation on media don't want it on health care, but ah well.
