Denpa Men warns you about people that may call you a pervert while you're playing the game

Okay so it doesn't use the word "pervert" but look at this actual transcription of this warning message in the instruction manual:

"This game does not allow you to take pictures or videos, but when you try to catch Denpa Men in a public space, some people may misinterpret your behavior as trying to record or photograph them without their permission. Press X to change to Manner Mode, which displays only the Denpa Men, making it easier to avoid misunderstandings."

This is essentially telling you to be careful of ignorant people who would wrongly accuse you of being some kind of pervert(an extreme example but still) and this "Manner Mode" thing could possibly be the very first example of a video game mechanic that functions as a protective device against these kinds of misjudgements.

I'd rather just play in a fun & safe place than rely on this thing.
