Reddit comments about Japan are always funny. There have been a few instances from games where an older male character who's clearly meant to be a villain lusts after a preteen girl and the comments will make some comments about it being "only in Japan because of age of consent laws." Like no. The guy is obviously written to be a villain and him being a pedophile is part of that. It's one step away from showing him kicking puppies.

only in Japan because of age of consent laws

For completeness, worth pointing out this point can’t even be used anymore, due to overdue updates to Japan’s consent law this summer:

  • The age of completely unrestricted consent is 18.
  • The age of unrestricted consent with some minor exceptions is 16.
  • The age of consent between peers (≤5 year age difference) is 13.

Pretty similar restrictions to several US states
