Why they let prostitution on the street then??? why they let porn movie every where ???

before we considering Video games as cultural habit we might look what make video games follow the same kind of reality in our society.

if there is no prostitution on real life there will be no prostitution on video games, it doesn't matter classic, old gen or next gen graphic, there is always some games that imitate our real life situation.

So before we complaining about  games we need to ask our self how is the situation in our society look like.

Woman are free to do what they want with their bodies, but man can't use her if she allows? Or if she claims she didn't want then it's rape? Crazy new world.


I think the article was more of the mind that "this is promoting the idea that woman are just objects for pleasure" and not that "prositution = rape". I don't necessarily think either are completely accurate claims, but people being too knee-jerk and not reading the intended message.

But a part of women and men is that their image and body can give the other person physical pleasure.

You could make the argument that sex promotes the idea that women and men are objects for pleasure, because it does.

Just because we are object of pleasure for each other does not mean that's all we are or can be.

I don't want to be a prude but they shouldn't have to put it in. I know it's an 18/M rated game but a lot of children play GTA.
My friend who never played GTA let his 8 year old son play GTA 4 until i showed him the game, he told me his son played GTA San An when he was 5. This will be some childs first encounter with sex. Not good in my opinion. Maybe they could release an edited version with no sex, blood and bad language for a younger audience.


It's the parents responsibility to moderate what there children do and don't play. It'll only be the childs first encounter with sex if

A. The parents don't care 

or

B. The parents aren't doing a good job.

 

Children shouldn't be playing GTA, buy them another game.

 

 

Also wtf is rape culture.

A made up term to make all men responsible for the actions of the overwhelming minority.

I Know but it happens. So the best way would be not to include fucking (would it be so Hard).

so basically we should censor a game for adults?

Yes

They would loss allot of credibility and sales for censoring the game.

Also taking out fucking and leaving in murder is an odd standard to have.

lol what planet are you living on where the primary market for prostitues is teenagers?

The same planet where the following is true:

"As of 2014, the average age for a video game player is 30" (source)

"Some men first used a prostitute at the age of 14. More than a third first bought sex between 18 and 20.
One man claimed: "It is uncomplicated, it's a good way to have your first sex."Another revealed: "There was pressure to go along with the guys. It was a common experience for young guys, for their 16th or 18th birthday." (source) 

Fact of the matter is simply that the primary market for prostitute use, is virtually identical to the primary market for gamers.

 

damn... had no idea

but the majority are still over 18 though

at 18 a male is considered a man but yeah i get your point

Both men and women are object though, and pretending were dont have object like characteristics is just denying reality in my opinion.


lol trust me when i say that i personally believe that sexual objectification is one of the most stupid terms that i see being thrown around by feminists

 

it is impossible for conventional sex to happen without objects since it is a physical activity

also generally people get aroused by looking at or touching bodies which again are objects

 

even if you go with the feminsit notion that it is the tendency of some men to disregard the mental and spritiual aspects of women

then its still nonsense because no one unless there is something seriously wrong with their brains is capable of such a thing

 

so yeah the term has always been stupid and simply used as a means of attacking male sexuality imo

Prostitutes consent to engaging in sex for a fee. (Which is why it's fucking stupid to criminalize it)

The day you were born a man you been branded a rapist and pedophile so society already promotes it.


Can't piss of a girl cause she will claim rape.

Can't play with kids or have a camera on the beach cause you will be a pedo.

That last bit is painfully true, I'm Japanese, my husband is white, we were in the UK not too long ago with our daughter (who for the most part looks mostly japanese), i left him with her in a mall to use he bathroom, and when I came back a woman was stood next to him with a security guard attempting to hold him down for "abusing someones kid", all the while he was saying "what the hell, its MY DAUGHTER", when i ran over and asked what the hell, the security guard instantly turned to me and said "is this your daughter", I obviously sad yes, and before i could say another word he says "we've caught this man trying to interfere with your child", the police have been called and are on their way.

I was like, HELLO, IDIOT, THATS MY HUSBAND, AND HER FATHER.

Stupid ass woman stuck her nose in the air and says "hmpf, doesnt look like it" and walks off, meanwhile the security guard borderline forces us to stay until the police arrive, to "double check".

People need to stop being so fucking retarded and paranoid, all they ever seem to do is attack others and the second the person/group they attack so much as raise an eyebrow, they play the victim card and the media both laps it up and sides with them.


wow suppose you had to leave them for some reason...

That's pretty shit, and you're not the first person I've heard this from, something similar happened to a friend of mine who is white but has a four-year-old son with his Indian wife. He nearly got arrested at an amusement park because they thought he was abducting his own son.

If the white man was not her father she'd be thanking the lady.

Someone put two and two together and things went wrong. Shit happens.

Why is this addressed to me and not Tachikoma?
