Who mentioned a game about shooting people in the face with a realistic gun? I wouldn't defend such a game for inclusion either, as that's pretty explicit. I don't care for guns, I've never held a firearm, and I don't plan on it, but thanks for the generalization.
Like it or not, the NES's largest audience was North America, and I'd expect that to still be the case (though the homebrew scene has certainly globalized the platform and moved the scale a bit). If sensitivity towards the audience is something to be considered, applying the (expected) sensibilities of the (expected) audience is not an unreasonable thing to do.
I also think being concerned over goddamn is being a little extra-sensitive, but given INL's concerns, it's changing very little for better peace of mind.

I find this asumption mildly offensive, for example

My irritation in my previous post was mostly directed at Alp's post, which read as being overly dramatic. Your game is not really an example of the out-of-place sexualization I am irritated with.
