Non American developers seem far more open to sexy characters or exploring sexual themes in games. Look at all the action in BG3 recently, and that's a Belgian title, CDPR in Poland with Cyberpunk, Japan in general. I don't know if it's a cultural thing holding back US Devs or that silly Adults Only rating that means no one will carry the game, but it's holding back the medium.

European tend to be open minded like that. Japan might be one of the few outlier in Asia.
