Indie designers and artists discuss different ways to make sexuality and intimacy more common in game design.
You're viewing a single thread.
Most games unless it is a sex game shouldn't have sex in it. My kids play lot of the same games I do and I don't want them having access to sex in a game.
Most times it adds nothing to a story and is there just a preversion thing.
You allow them to murder hundreds of virtual people or creatures, but sex is a bridge too far?
"How dare they show a titty in my murder simulator."
Bet they are from the US?
Your kids shouldn't impact what artists choose to create, and parental controls and ratings systems exist for you to engage with (you probably should if you are scared of them seeing intimacy between grown adults)
It's sad that people think like this
Sex is required for every human to exist. I'm sorry it scares you but you're kids are going to be fucking fine.
Akchually in-vitro fecundation is a thing.
This just means that penetrative sex with a penis is not required. Doctors can either inseminate people directly, or implant fertilized embryos.
But the only effective way to harvest sperm is through ejaculation. I.e. masturbation. So you're really not avoiding sex altogether. You're just going about it differently.
Gamers say they want parents to actually get involved and monitor the content kids interact with in games. A parent actually does monitor what their kids play, and suddenly gamers lose their minds.
In this case, OP is stating that he thinks no company should be making games with any type of sexual content. Just in case his kids want to play that game.
That goes beyond "monitoring what their kids play" and that's why people are reacting strongly.
Kids that aren’t ready to see sex in games aren’t grown up enough to play those games to begin with. I don’t know any non-porn game with a nude sex scene in it that isn’t a violent murder simulator. Except maybe Sims but that isn’t even graphic and even kids just find that funny to see.
It is quite obvious this was posted by an American. They are such prudes when it comes to sex and nudity, but think violence is just swell.
Don't get into this if you don't want to get dogpiled by prudes. Lemmy is weirdly anti sex scenes.
