In the game (and therefore here on this site), they're at least 17. :)

Yeah, that argument may still work in Japan.

Well, not only does the programming of the game itself force any girl to be listed as 17+, if any girl in the game was underage in the anime they're in, appropriate time is supposed to have passed before they made their way into the game world. (Something very similar to this argument has happened before, [though I couldn't say precisely where that conversation is] and people did make sure that their asses were pretty decently covered.)

I'll just point out that an increasing number of countries include the apparent age characters are drawn and not just their claimed age in relevant laws.

 Unless I am seriously mistaken no argument would be needed in Japan at all since no law banning lolicon exists?

 Even in countries where law makes no difference between actual cp and drawn fictional characters (or barely makes one), Japanese Anime/Lolicon are rarely targeted. UK has recently made very strict laws that were by the admission of lawmakers also targeting "Specifically Lolicon/Hentai with characters who looked like minors" but there have been no crackdown on websites or arrests specifically targeting offenders.

 This is a weird argument... One of the worst arguments I've ever heard... Anyone can with same same luck state after being caught with cp that a person in question has already grown up? I cannot imagine a country with a law system where that would work... I think we can make three valid arguments here:

1) Any picture on this website is drawn/generated Art and what's more, Art that has no basis in reality (100% fictional) therefor it is a subject to an expert or Jury's opinion what the said art actually represents. Past that it is fully up to the law of a specific county/state in question to penalize the victimless crime.

2) It is obvious that any video game with "sexual" edge that specifically states characters as minors outside of Japan might at the very least become a target of threats and/or hatemail from organizations or individuals who have nothing better to do even if not legally prosecuted. Therefor I have to agree with the admin that WM should stay as it is or at the very least there should be no release that makes modding the game to display age under 17 any easier than it has to be.

3) "Loli"like characters aside, I am pretty damn sure that there are countries where legal system would penalize for having any graphics of "Obscene" sexual nature, completely regardless of character's age. Meaning that to please everyone, every pic from "Beast" and "BDSM" categories has to be removed not mentioning that there are also countries where porn as a whole (real or virtual) is banned so if you are making an argument towards making this game legal everywhere, it can only be to erase it from existence...

That said, I like WM and believe that it has a right to exist. Past that any person who doesn't like "Loli" or "BDSM" or "Beast" or "Anal" or "Group" can mod the game to their preferences, I believe that mods like that can be done by any persons since they require nothing more than deleting a few pics or playing with editor...
