Here you state that in a lot of games lady parts are referred as sex, then provide the example "she [...] revealed her sex".Also, one other thing I notice in a lot of games is when a woman's lady parts are referred to as her "sex", i.e. "she took off her panties and revealed her sex".
I honestly don't think anyone, in the history of the English language, has ever referred to a woman's pussy/vagina/fanny/snatch/muff/slit/twat/box/beaver/cunt as her "sex".
It is not said anywhere it was a dialogue and since it's in third person it is reasonable to assume it was not. Then after three pages you say it is a dialogue in which a main character uses that expression.
Here are the two issues with this claim: I see no evidence that you took that sentence from a dialogue where a MC narrates events to someone else in a game; you provide no evidence it happens in a lot of games that MCs use analogous expressions.
The claim was about frequency and the clarification you give addresses only an example in which the expression is supposedly part of a dialogue, thus it doesn't cover the whole statement that that kind of usage happens in a lot of games.
You can't tell us you had in mind a particular restricted scope use and at the same time state it is in a lot of games, which would just prove that it's a common expression.
You simply changed your statement. Either that or you made a contradictory statement originally, tertium non datur, unless you provide evidence of those lots of games that do use the expression in character dialogue and not in narration.
The statement is yours, back it up. You claimed: frequency; usage in character dialogue (not in narration); that it is wrong or odd relative to the modern-day setting. All those points need to be proved by you and no "challenge" of yours can change that.
You made a more a general claim originally and we provided counter-examples, which, as you should know, dispute that kind of assertion.
I am not interested in further proofs, my claim was that it's a common literary expression thus completely fine in VN narration and for that evidence was brought. It's up to you now to provide evidence for what you affirmed.
If you don't, you won't convince no one and will have provided no utility to the community, just bickered for the sake of not admitting you were wrong.
