Sexually explicit content.... IN VIDEOGAMES?!?

I'm not touching that with a 10 foot dildo!


Seriously though, what purpose does sexually explicit material in videogames actually serve other then for horny immature teen boys to live out their repressed fantasies with Lara Croft and the chicks from Dead or Alive. Plus... sex/love scenes in movies and pr0n are REAL (especially pr0n haha)... what's the point of having a bunch of computer generated polygons going at it?

And I don't buy the whole "sex as art" concept either... the people who say that are the same people who accept elephant crap smeared over a religious figure as art... me says no thanx.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I wouldn't want to see it in every game every time, but I wish games wouldn't pretend that sex does not exist. I see a lot of games taking every possible measure NOT to imply anything sexual. Look at No More Heroes. It was far from a pornographic game, but at least it had sexual references and such. That made it very real, and I liked that. I don't have to see it, but please at least have sex exist some more in video game worlds.

Oh and I have a great idea for the next Mario Galaxy - instead of posting a congratulations letter to your Wii Message Board when you have all the stars, why don't they give you some hardcore porn as a reward? At least that's something useful for all the effort!

I'll explain why. Christian virtues. As the U.S. and Europe had a lot of Christian influence put to them, many principles became accepted, and still exist strongly today, even in non-christian organizations. These principles dictate that both murder (and other forms of violence) and adultery are wrong. And as such, these principles have impacted the gaming industry as well (along with many others).

Now, it is these principles that create the radically different attitudes towards sex and violence. As stated above, adultery is forbidden by Christian virtue; but it does not forbid sex. Also the other virtue does not totally forbid violence, just unwarrented violence (such as murder, which is unjustifiable killing). Expounding upon adultery (adultery being sexuality outside of a marriage, Christianity also forbids lust, castigating it as a form of adultery. Therefore, as these virtues are still present in the game industry, ANY sexual display inherently brings with it the possibility of lusting to the player (which, of course, is forbidden), whereas any display of violence does not warrent itself to being justifiable. For example, my parents have much less of a problem with me playing a WWII game then they would for a GTA game.

You might ask why, then, is unwarranted violence allowed today? I think the distincition between warranted and unwarrented violence can easily blurred, what with plot and character and all. So the industry has crept a lot faster towards accepting unwarrented voilence displays over sexual ones.

So that's the main reason (IMHO) why sexuality is far less allowed.

 

Blame the christians eh?

How about other cultures that aren't christian? It ever occur to you that they happen to have the same principal moral values?

Or do we see nudity and sex in Japanese and Korean games?

 

 

 

 You can see breasts in tv commercials and even in the news in Europe...

Why not?

I mean... it might annoy me if some character slept with annoying JRPG girl B with the loud always shouting anime voice... but hey whatever... I mean considering all the other crap you can do in games.

Just so long as you stop before rape anyway. I don't need another "Custer's Revenge"

 

 Why stop there? If I can butcher and murder people in video games (and most gamers love it), why wouldn't I be allowed to be an ass rapist?

 Yes indeed. And all of Europe is of christian culture. That is why his (appolose's) attack on christianity fails.

If it could be used in a way that makes the game better, then by all means go for it. If it was a cheap marketing ploy, then please leave it out.

That right there is garbage , you could argue that europe is influenced by christianity moresoe than other religions but here in europe we're not heavily influenced by christianity at all , especially in the Uk.

Because there is a sociological crisis all over the world where a shockingly high number of peolple see rape as acceptable on varying levels.

Yes I know, but that wasn't the point here. I debunked that guy's quasi argument about christianity being the reason for present day hypocrisy on sex vs violence. .
