The game is rated M for Mature Audience, featuring all gore and highly sexual scenes, and seeing the ripper doc certainly follows up in the ESRB rating.

The grind for one of the most iconic melee weapons in the game is real, but topping up real-world money for in-game currency is also possible if the Mantis Blades are one's priorities.
