You might have put it back on the list then.
I was dreading the qualification there, I thought you were going to say it's as inappropriate as Seven Deadly Sins. That would've been a definite no. I can deal with supernaturally powerful. It'll be like this guy I used to know who got really strong after eating tins of spinach.
Oh no none of that. Not even the slightest whiff. Anyone who doesn't respect consent is clearly a villain, and you usually end up punching them a lot.
Your role towards child characters is strictly paternal. No "well the age of consent here is 14". No "actually she's a 1,000 year-old vampire" creepiness. I've only gotten through the first 3 games so far, and I could be forgetting something, but I don't think any of the villains even cross that line of sexualizing children.
It's not perfectly progressive. I don't think I've seen a strong female character yet, just damsels in distress. There was some less-than-ideal trans representation early in the series, although I've heard they've improved upon that in more recent games. The games are definitely marketed towards a male demographic. But there was nothing I'd be uncomfortable playing around my wife or friends.
