From an artsy documentary about hikikomori:

"I think males are more likely to be hikikomori (socially withdrawn/shut in) because they are weak... weaker than females"

If it's not indecent...

From Macias-Machiyama:

"...rest assured that the youth protagonists in Galge ("Gal games", a.k.a. "Bishoujo games" or simply "H games") are technically not minors. Iwasaki points out that the most common defense used by game makes are that the girls are in their late teens and are just pretending to be so young. And if that's not convincing enough, then maybe they've got a glandular problem that has stunted their growth."
