Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact banned in Australia for "implied sexual violence"


Fighting game Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact has been refused a rating by the notoriously-strict Austrailian ratings boar…

Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact has been effectively banned down under by the country's Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts’ Classification Board for "implied sexual violence". Watch on YouTube Whilst no specific reason was given on the ratings website itself- in "reason for refused classification", it simply invites people to contact the organisation for more information - a statement from the Australian Classification Board said the game “contains a scene of a visual depiction of implied sexual violence, where an adult male exposes himself to persons under the age of 18 years". It's unclear at this time if publisher Arc System Works will appeal the decision or censor its game accordingly to appease the board.
