I think a lot of games deal with it pretty well, Bioware always has options although sometimes a little forced (Yes, I'm talking only gay guy on the ship in ME3 and that means you hook up). Yet the issues that seems to come from it revolves around the USofA. Pretty sure Japan and the most of Europe don't care. Only the US but when the market in the US is so big, it's hard to ignore. Well, I should say parents of the market. :P

But then I don't care about them, they are the kind of people that buy their 13 yr old children CoD (an 18 rated game).



Hmm, pie.

Good to hear a female gamers point of view. And yes I agree with you.
And you cant believe how happy I am you included pics of sexy women AND MEN.
Somehow, the authors of those sexist articles only showcase video game women and completely disregard men.

And yes, if it is M rated or higher than only mature people should be playing them.
Although excessive sexuality for the sake of it is pretty boring. While excessive gore can be good if done right for the story in a meaningful way. Gore for the sake of gore is again, just lame.

dear USA, get your shit together, no child is harmed just because it sees some boobs. the human body isnt bad, and beeing naked is natural.



I play video games to have fun and not to see sexism.
If you want to see sexism, watch pornos! Is it so hard?



I find it distracting and pandering honestly. But more than that its usually awkward and weird(there's always the problem of the actual character models not looking right and the graphics themselves). Without soft body physics, and good animation(as in without awkward pauses or smooth transitional animations) sex in videogames will look always look horrible to me. You can bump up the texture quality all you want, it'll only make the game look good in stills and still weird in motions.

Just an uncanny valley puppet freakshow.

Well, cartoons are technically violent but they are very very rarely sexy or have sexual tones. I am personally not a fan of fan service (both in gaming and anime) it tends to undermine the story and plot of the game/anime. I have no problem with sexuality or strong sexual tones for that matter, so long as it's not just for the sake of a few cheap clicks.

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.

Sex is generally good for me.
As for the reason why there's so much hostility against it in videogames, but also movies and TV programs, I guess that bigots are generally more aggressive and vocal than tolerant people.

sexuality is not just porno or sexual intercourse, I guess that the society needs more sexual education. And I'm not talking about erotic video games, that's other theme.



Well, sexuality is a common problem with today's society, not only on videogames. Had we not have this social taboo on it, I'd say things would be much better for everything, games included.
