why is killing kids such a taboo in games

>>717907551 (OP)
my feelings

Idk bur Frankenstein yeeted a kid into a pool in the 1930s but Terrifier acts like it's a big deal to blow up kids kek

Probably some fear of a moral panic spearheaded by anglo christians.

>>717907721
>only anglo chrtistians care about someone killing children

What was the last big game that allowed you to kill kids?
I remember they made them invincible in FO3 because beta testers kept killing them

>>717908118
i dont think any of them does.
a lot big aaa games usually straight up doesnt have any kids in them

>>717908063
Yes it's always those fuckers.

>>717908118
You could kill the child soldiers in mgs5 but it would be an instant game over.

It's less of a taboo and more of "you allow it = you endorse it" logic retards that don't play games operate on, so no one even bothers because it's not worth the headache.

>>717907551 (OP)
I think it's apt for childkiller being a negative trait in Fallout, they need kids for new gens and post-apocalyptic child labor

>>717907551 (OP)
I'd imagine the fear of censorship. During Deus Ex replays I always kill and throw that kid who begs food into the ocean. It's funny.

Maybe it's because it's sexual? *heavy breathing*

>>717907551 (OP)
esrb, pegi, cero and so on.

>>717907551 (OP)
Because games are not realistic. In real scenarios, you can kill your kids up to the first year of their life or at any time with "spiritual healing" and it's totally normal.

>>717907551 (OP)
It's a white thing, you wouldn't get it.

>>717907551 (OP)
Because it's fun. Why can't I blend children in video games? I would like to make a fine paste out of babies, and then make some sausage from them.

>>717908118
Did Baldur's Gate 3 let you? I never went out of my way to try but I swear one got caught in range of a fireball when I was playing with my friends

>>717911269
You can kill goblin kids.

>>717907551 (OP)
because muh esrb rating

>>717907551 (OP)
>kid playing game where you can kill kid
>soccer mom sees this and flips her shit
>starts campaign to have it banned
>>717907721
>christians
you're not fooling anyone you shit-stirring gay leftist faggot. tell your masters at the wef that I won't die for israel

Because it's traumatic to see children die

>>717907551 (OP)
I'd rather fuck kids than kill kids.

Someone will draw parallels to real life. They’ll say how games are evil, destroying youth, the nuclear family dynamic, making people satanic and yada yada and so on.

>>717911949
Enjoy your perma.

>>717912054
In video games!

>>717912116
Too late. :^)

>>717911724
>talks bad of christians
>this guy must support israel
Anyway I thank you for not supporting that den of snakes

>>717911724
>it's soccer moms
>n-n-n-not christian soccer moms though!!!!!
lmao

>>717907551 (OP)
Because gamers and school shooters share a demographic

>>717912486
I said nothing about christians being involved. your attempts at deflection are pathetic

>717911863


Fur children doesn't count, right?

>>717907551 (OP)
"Why is killing the next generation of humanity treated like a vile inhumane act by the human characters in the setting?"
We get it, you hate yourself and you hate your fellow man, just say it next time you want to vent your misanthropic tendancies

>>717908063
it's more like their remorse lights up so they can't see anything that remotely relates to it, not even in fiction

>>717913551
what

Video games are way to mainstream now and are generally more focused on younger people so anything that is almost universally seen as taboo will likely not be depicted for fear of moral panic and upsetting muh heckin shareholders

>>717907721
So only English people have souls? I don't disagree anon.

>>717907551 (OP)
No idea.
Children weren't considered people few centuries ago.

>playing Oblivion Remastered (I played the original dozens of times)
>get to Dark Brotherhood questline
>talk to the orc after getting my first contract
>he talks about killing a 5 year old girl at her birthday party and then laughs about it
I did not notice that before, wtf man.

Children are our future. That should've been basic common sense.

>>717912742
Right, you said that christcucks are completely innocent and it was all a jewish psyop to blame them.

>>717914041
>>playing Oblivion Remastered
>(I played the original dozens of times)

>>717907721
Idk why chuds here are attacking this when all attempts made at censoring games were by christian nutjobs

I mean maybe some there's some jew organization crossover support but muslims aren't relevant enough to mess with media in the west except for a few select countries. Muslims tend to be more vocal about their locality even in west, jews are old money but have to appeal to those "judeo-christian" types if they want to be righties

>>717914426
Normies thought you people were marginalized and misunderstood. You can't fool them twice I'm afraid.

>>717914657
name one big aaa game that came out recently that allows you to kill kids

>>717914806
>>717914546

>>717911269
No
I spent half an hour savescumming while trying to free the tiefling kid from the snake bitch that wants to kill her for some theft and then 1stab her right when she goes for the exit, where no one else can see me, and when i finally get the most perfect attempt and finally score a good hit after countless tries - i find out the bitch that gets killed in the cutscene by a snake is fucking invincible when I try to do so.
Thst was when i shut off that dogshit game and never returned to it. "Best RPG" my ass.

>>717908118
Civ6

>>717914874
>15 years ago

i said recently

>>717915003
Yeah, you did. And no one else.
>>717908118

>>717915003
>15 years ago
Deus Ex came out 25 years ago. Of course, it's still not a retro game as it came out after the 21st century began and is very modern so it counts.

>>717907551 (OP)
In Fallout 1 and 2 kids pickpocket you. I think it's justified to kill them in that case.

>>717908459
If you timed it right at the end of a mission you could kill a kid and get away with it.

>>717912557
>guilt by association
you're no better than the so-called bigots you hate so much

cuz kids are unkillable irl

>>717907551 (OP)
It was taboo enough for them to change the art from the vault guy kicking a pregnant woman to vilified status art.

>>717916071
>Boss, you killed a child!?
>Oh, it was just a niglet. Great job, Boss.

>>717907551 (OP)
Just to nail in the fact that only the really depraved would even consider it

>>717914994
Boooooo! Railroading on a DnD game booooo! BG3 is so ass.

>>717908118
the irony being that there is a quest where you literally enslave children in fallout 3.

>>717908118
>testers are enjoying a feature
>shut it down immediately!

>>717907551 (OP)
Because of stupid, fun-hating crybabies.
Just don't put kids into an action combat game if you do not want them to get hurt.

>>717911269
Only in cutscenes and never directly I don't think.

>>717917440
F2 was censored in certain countries and there were no kids.

>>717907551 (OP)
It’s ok if you’re Israeli.

>>717908063
It's not that they're the only people who care it's just that they're typically the only people who think that just because something bothers them that it means that thing should be expunged from existence.

>>717917440
but I want kids in gta so it's more realistic
I always got kicks out of beating the snot out of gradeschoolers in bully. always got away with it too since they go down after 2 books to the face without maxing out the trouble meter

>>717917709
palestinians arent children, theyre little demon spawns borne of abraham's infidelity. i support jews and their crusade against these fuckers. also khazaar milkers > palestinian hairy bobs and vagine, simple as

>>717907551 (OP)
Blackrock wants you to think only killing children is bad so that they can kill as many adults as they want while brainwashing children who still have the potential of becoming their drones in the future. They will say that tranny propaganda like pbs kids is for "child development" and that vaccines are for "saving lives" so that if you disagree with vaccines you're a child killer and even le heckin goy of war said you're evil!

>>717918037
Then let me kill them.
There should be no unkillable entities in action games and action RPGs. It's stupid.

>>717918457
I know which is why I brought up the bully example

>>717917578
I think the censored version is now the standard on digital stores everywhere, even in the US.

It's unacceptable because it breaks a quest and introduces the "invisible thieves" bug in the Den. So everyone will go and patch it back to the US version, and the censorship becomes pointless.

>>717919614
If you install restoration mod it will remove censorship anyway.

>>717908118
>they made them invincible in FO3 because beta testers kept killing them

>get angry when players want to kill them

>>717918037
>but I want kids in gta so it's more realistic
This. Always pulls me out of the realism whenever you have a city in a game and it's populated entirely by adults.
Some games like Sleeping Dogs wouldn't even spawn women at night, so the city is populated only by adult men and it's just jarring.

>>717908118
Tyranny (one of the last good rpgs by Obsidian) lets you snuff out a baby with a pillow (not visible or animated just a major end of quest choice)

>>717907551 (OP)
iirc it gives you an automatic adults only rating which would kill sales numbers.

>>717908063
only whites, really

>>717919898
forgot to mention, that's after murdering her mother to get to it of course

>>717919947
Only if you wanna sell games at stores. There’s plenty of games on Steam that are unrated.

What if a child kills her/himself for the greater good?

>>717908118
Well in the last of us 2 you kill a women that’s very very late into her pregnancy, like about to pop out any second. So you technically kill a baby
