I didn't think I'd get a detailed explaination but much appreciated. I guess the "social" definition of softcore porn differs from the "commercial" definition. It's interesting how this works tbh, I guess that's why so many games can blur the line without getting the boot

Yeah, it's kind of like how ESRB rarely gives the AO rating to games, having it doesn't exactly mean it is that. And of course, regional context matters. Last I checked, Azur Lane mostly operates out of Japan these days
