PROCRASTINATORS UNITE - Post a comment

Okay, I'm getting tired of this cropping up.

Apparently, the politicos have it stuck in their tiny brains that rape is a common feature in commercial M-rated games, if not video games in general.

Let me start out by saying that this is about the biggest pile of bullshit I've ever seen come out of the gobs of those dickheads (and I've heard some pretty severe bull in my day, short though it may be) since they said that banning consmetic features of certain firearms would make the streets safer, and in reality, all it did was annoy people for the better part of a decade, with no noticeable effect on crime, but I digress (as usual).

You know how many games there are that simulate rape? To my knowledge, there is precisely ONE, and it's older than I am, for fuck's sake! And it sucked, besides. There ARE games that simulate CONSENSUAL sexual activity, but these are either a) published solely online, with independent age-verification, or b) games that only include it as an optional part of the story. I have NEVER, repeat, NEVER seen any mainstream game that simulates full-on sex by any stretch of the imagination, outside of user-created content, and that's usually behind another age-verification thing. The only ones I know of that do feature sex as the main object, are small-time projects, not even made in the US, and as such, not directly subject to US laws.

Summarizing: Stop being suck plonkers, and do your goddamn research, or cite your sources before gabbing off about shit that doesn't exist.
