Quote - aughing stock?  I'd say you're projecting.

He's not. And this has nothing to do with snobbery but with how CG nudity and sex are perceived in the world at large, and esp among the lucrative western audience. In the west, CG means talking animals, robots, 'family' characters, various aliens and other such critters. Perhaps the occasional uncanny valley skirting photoreal human soldier or warrior woman. Games get more of a leeway cause the perception is that games are primarily enjoyed by horny young males and are not a serious medium. Adult CG work, exploring mature themes or having content that is implicitly or explicitly sex based is pretty much limited to countries like Japan and perhaps Korea. Yes it is all very dumb, but this is how it is.
