Touhou Project games are not sexualized. Almost all characters are completely covered in clothes and hats and no sexual situations exist in game.

Yes, Japan has plenty of porn and sexualization. So does the West. I didn't say that Japan didn't have sexualized. It just seems, from looking at video games, enough to make a list like that, that if anything, the West more frequently sexualized female protagonists than Japan.

And honestly you're jumping for straws with most of those points. Having school girls has nothing to do with being sexualized. Yes, it's certainly possible to sexualize school girls. But having school girls does not make something sexual by a long shot. A good portion of video games star children, because like animation, video games have for a long time been considered a children's toy.

And Blood Rayne is a Western title. It was developed by Terminal Reality, an American company out of Texas.
School girls are not inherently sexualized. The ways that they are depicted in most games, however, are. Most of them it's like, "Wait, she's still in high school? Bull shennanigans!"

Also, do not make such blanket statements about the West. I cannot stand people who make every conversation and "East vs. West" thing. Just stop. The Japanese culture has its fair share of problems as does the West. That doesn't make one better than the other. It just makes them different. Me personally, I'm from the West. I prefer Western games/movies/books/shows. I just don't understand most of the things I have seen that have come out of the East. That's not to say they're bad, just that it's not my personal tastes. But, you have your tastes, and I have mine. As long as we can respect that, we're gold.
