I'm reminded of a scene from The 70's Show and a young Eric Foreman screaming, "Panties! Glorious Panties!"The Grumpy Celt said:

So true.
I rather think it's just an otaku in-joke, anyway. The product itself looks fairly innocuous.

Because it would only be called that if you actually played with a bunch of repressed perverts. It's a relationship game where what the other players decide significantly affects what happens to your character. It just so happens that everyone plays a psyhic japanese schoolgirl in a school environment.Tuzenbach said:

Do you doubt the existence of the Commies? The Computer is your friend. You must be on the lookout for traitorous Commies everywhere!
Seriously (kinda) there are people who like to find blame in anything external to the person. For some people, RPGs is a perfect scapegoat. I wrote a paper in HS psych class, like 20 years ago, entitles 'Role-playing games do not cause psychosis or neurosis'. There was a lot of bad PR then (1987ish) about RPGs encouraging satan worship and mass murder. I like to think that a lot of that moved on to something else sensational, or mainly I just don't pay attention to it anymore. I only hear snippets of it now and then in the news. Anyway, people fear what they don't understand. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. And we all know what that leads to.

What's in a name?
I overheard a conversation at my FLGS. There was a boy, about 10, and a woman, about 50 . I don't know if she was mother, grandmother or aunt, but she was obviously looking for a game for the boy. She picks up Munchkin and reads the back:
"Kill monsters. Steal treasure. Stab your friends in the back? I thought munchkins were friendly."

Well, I suppose the game is pretty harmless. But the name is something that would prevent me from buying the game in a shop. I simply don't like the connotation of a middle-aged man going into a shop and buying a game about Japanese schoolgirls called "Panty Explosion". I don't have problems with anything that feeds RPG paranoia. But I think that, in the current climate, anything that feeds allegations of having sexual interest in schoolgirls is a bit too dangerous to touch. I cannot exclude that this is a sign of paranoia on my part, but I wouldn't want to risk it.Huw said:
