It's mainly an issue in the US. It's honestly kind of sad how you guys make nudity a bigger deal than violence. Movies with people running around shooting each other up? No problem, PG13. Show some tits and ass? Rated R.

Dat logic


QFT

Yeah, the ratings system is absolutely batshit crazy in the US.  Thank the MPAA for that (Strongly suggest those interested to check out the movie 'This Film is Not yet Rated').  Those guys are insane, a non-elected, non-government body that dictates what the rest of the country can see.  I've definitely noticed that violence rules for ratings have seemingly become relaxed over the years.  Though, back when I was in Junior High (7th grade ~12-14 yrs old), our entire class went to go see Schindler's List, so they'll make allowances, depending on the subject matter.

sex/nudity is part of everyone's life. Adding that to games only adds to the immersion.
Of course only if it fits in, which is the case with most story based games.

Sex/nudity in Mario = clearly no
Sex/nudity in GTA = obviously yes

I know boy who have 10 years old playing GTA games you can't show him nudity



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

lol this is only an issue because of the envy some women feel for the sexual influence other women or depictions of women have

that is why it is only objectification when its a video game character with large tits for example and not objectification when its an unrealistically proportioned male in a video game ( which is pretty much the standard )

when its men its not objectification suddenly its then a male power fantasy or some other nonsense

what i find funny is that going by this logic no depiction of males in video games can be considered sexually attractive it is only the depraved males who could find depictions of women to be attractive and they must be demonised for it

lol it amazes me and it amazes me even more that men go along with this nonsense

Sure you can, what his parents allow, is immaterial to the rest of the world.  Ratings are on the box, if parents choose to ignore those ratings, they're the problem, not what's in the game.

I think it's because religion. Religious people see sex as evil or something like that.

Isn't there some sex-religion? if not it is a glaring oversight, there always should be a sex-religion.

I'm sure there was/is a sex-religion. Just not mainstream enough

This should be the most popular religion!

It is part of humanity. The problem is conversations between parents and their children aren't taking place. Avoidance isn't the best answer.

If there isn't any sexuality in a videogame, I usually try to find a way to make it sexual. Like have cyber with a dude who thinks I'm a girl.

You've brought this up many times. Is there something you want to tell us, broy?

Agreed. If the parents choose to let their kids play games like that despite the age restrictions and warnings on the box then it is solely the parents that are at fault. If they don't want their kid to see nudity that is entirely up to them.

what the two quoted users above said. Parents need to check what their offspring do. Video games are just a tiny part of that.
But obviously, complaining is much simpler.

Aye, the games industry voluntarily spends their own money putting ratings on the packaging, it's a very simple notice for parents to see on the package, so that they don't have to go through the trouble of googling the name of a game and reading a bit on the content contained there-in.  To which I'm reminded of Dee Snyder's testimony before Congress during the PMRC hearings, where he said he or his wife, listen to or read the lyrics of any music their children get, and yes, he most certainly makes the time to do so, because as a parent it's his job, to ensure his children are abiding by his rules...not the rest of the worlds.

I saw lot of  feminists men judging bayonetta 2


i would make the claim though that the reason many of these guys do this and on the larger scale the reason many male feminists become feminists in the first place is simply to gain approval from women

i don't think that men have an innate desire to shame other members of their sex for healthy sexuality unless it directly impacts on them as an individual, however, feminist indoctrination changes this
