I watched a video on fucked up games (morbid curiosity and just a shitty day where I wanted to turn off my brain), and turns out that the amount of horny, outright pedophilic and mysoginistic games are still being made, but the developers make an active effort to block anyone outside Japan from getting them, or even visiting their websites. Not only that but they have stated something to the lines of: "these games are intended for a Japanese audience only, if you want to play them, come here"
Very normal =)
They do that so they don't get into major headline-causing trouble overseas and cause an international scandal which used to happen with Japanese porn games
Personally I don't consider those niche fetish eroge games to be part of "Japanese gaming" in the same way that I don't consider incest porn when I'm thinking about American cinema.
Like yeah, I get it, it's technically a game from Japan so it's a Japanese game. But it's so removed from what is considered mainstream gaming that it's porn first and game second
