Metropolis: Lux Obscura developer says the game's bulletpoints are meant to warn people who might otherwise be offended

I just did a video review for Metropolis: Lux Obscura last night, and in my review I bring up the odd bulletpoints the developers tout on the eShop listing. Stuff like "obscenity and sexism" and "gorgeous, sexy girls." It's certainly an interesting approach to promoting your game. To explain the decision more, Metropolis developer Ivan Lytkin shared these words with Kotaku.

"(While there is) no actual sexism inside, still someone can think that women are treated as sexual objects in the game. (The sexism bullet point is to warn) people who can be offended by such stuff (nowadays people are offended by anything). (The warning is a) protective measure (to ward off) hypochondriac people who may be disappointed by passive female roles as sexual objects.”

It's kind of hard to understand the whole discussion without knowing more about the game. If you have 20 minutes, you can check out my in-depth video review below.
