Games that are in the business of selling anime girls end up attracting a certain demographic. And as the developers know who their audience is and double down on catering to that crowd, this kind of behavior becomes increasingly normalized over time.
Exhibit A: the hilariously horny official trailer for Jane Doe
There are feet in the camera's face within... eight seconds. I'm surprised, but I can't say I'm shocked.
Aside from that, it is a curious decision to make the first person camera a woman. I thought their target audience would be young men? It's certainly a larger potential audience than lesbians, although hey, not like I mind that choice ;3
