Thread 718198410

Why did the media lose it's mind over the original Mass Effect's sex scenes? They were more tame then a PG-13 film.

hyper mega violence good
boobies bad
this will never change

videogames are a punching bag for boomers since they see their kids doing nothing but play it and want to ban it

because videogames and cartoons are for children

People who ask "why" all the time are really annoying

>>718198410 (OP)
Conservatives* lost their minds because they're culture war grifters

>the media
You mean right wing faggots that you retards now think are based

The more things change the more they stay the same

And yet it was Tiper Gore, a democrat, a leftist, that got the Parental Advisory sticker passed.
Right wingers were dumbasses about pokemon but it never actually lead to any policy or law restricting the cards or anything to do with pokemon.
Why dont you embrace your wins democrats/leftists?

When you bitch and moan, you actually do impose as hard as you can on the gen pop to bend the knee to your will. Whereas the right has always just complained but never actually done anything to censor shit.

>>718198410 (OP)
Because little johnny is more likely to bang little susie if he sees some sex scenes in a video game. And little johnny banging little susie can have long term consequences. That's always why people have been so anti-sex in anything children might consume. You might not care, but if you have a tween/teen and they knock up another or get knocked up themselves then shit gets real really fast

LOLOLOLOLOL
Newfag election tourists don't realize both Clinton and Gore headed the Democratic Leadership Council which was the most right wing group of the democratic party and killed off the liberal wing, the New Dealers.
Shit's been going further and further to the right where now asking for affordable housing and food is considered communism.

>>718200398
Lol so al gore and his wife arent leftists or democrats.

>>718198410 (OP)
didnt they admit they knew nothing about the game

>>718198410 (OP)
Because it's in a videogame, and videogames are for kids, and kids vote left.

>>718200398
Lmao faggot asking for the govt to pay for housing and food IS communist/socialist.

>>718200612
>so al gore and his wife arent leftists
Correct

Lmao al gore is a right winger

i don't know why you retards repeat this lie over and over. Politicians and media have flipped out over violence and video games several times over the years.

Retard alert!

>>718198410 (OP)
This was at the tail end of when public perception of vidya was that it's "nerd shit for losers" instead of the normalfag thing it is today. So it was seen as gross that a lower form of media had to "resort" to doing things like putting hardcore sex scenes in the game (they never played ME obviously) and just reinforced the thought in some older folks that video games were degenerate shit that was poisoning the minds of children.

Also there always seems to be some random game that catches shit from mainstream news outlets for sex like Rapelay or that one recent WEG even though there's like a million more porn games out there that are far more degenerate.

>>718201240
Yep and al gore is a right winger.

>>718198410 (OP)
You know they still are, right? Feminists contacted credit card companies and got thousands of games pulled off steam for having bikinis in them.

>>718198410 (OP)
Manufactured outrage is an ancient art dating further back than christain moms banning DnD in the 70s or whenever. The internet just supercharged it like it did all bad rhetorical habits.

Al Gore is a right winger and voted for Trump Vance.

Friendly reminder that America used to have free colleges before Reagan killed them to make it harder for people to protest Vietnam.

>>718201753
Colleges and educated people are always first to go when governments don't want to hear any talkback anymore, so to speak

>>718198784
he said the media anon. he's talking about the entirety of the apparatus

geoff was based for doing that interview. He made them look like massive retards.

>>718201871
Whats educated about teaching young adults that men can become women?
Whats educated about telling young white boys and girls that they are guilty of the sins of generations past?

Fuck off commie.

Attending college was also a way to avoid getting drafted. So they had to shut that down. The grinder needs more meat.

>>718198518
>he doesn't know
It's literally out of touch politicians blaming literally anything except the actual problem, because they refuse to handle the actual problem.

>>718202254
And what exaclty is the "problem" in your opinion?

>>718198410 (OP)
Because Fox News is propaganda for puritanical religious fundamentalist nutjobs

>>718202487
Now that, i can agree with.

>>718200701
Yes. They made a bunch of fake claims about it, Keighley asked them if they even played it, they admitted they didn't and made themselves look stupid.

>>718198587
What, why?

>>718198410 (OP)
the media has been all about clickbait and thrill headlines since the LA riots -> oj case. The talking heads don't actually care about this shit but saying that little timmy is playing the booby game instead of donkey kong or whatever will get views. Don't get me wrong they definitely have top down agendas. but sensationalizing everything for views is the biggest one

>>718198410 (OP)
Is that Dorito Pope on the right? What has he been up to since E3 is kill?

>>718201196
They also flipped out over sex and nudity too. Even in that press conference, senators who clearly never played any of these games. Accused Night Trap of being a game where the player was encouraged to trap and kill women. When the truth couldn't have been further from that. There wasn't even nudity either just the "infamous" bathroom scene where one of the girls was wearing a pink nightgown. While a monster is hiding in the shower.

I'm still more upset about the Six Days in Fallujah outrage because that actually got the game canned and killed the Close Combat devs. Apparently vidya isn't allowed to have any combat sims about more recent conflicts in them, but TV and Film making completely fictionalized bullshit about the Iraq War for entertainment is just fine.

Glad someone picked the idea back up, but now the game is stuck in EA hell.

Why are they always like this?

It might not have been hit with the WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER Burgerpride yet since murr'ca hasn't been Bin Laden'd, but much of Burgers in Texas barely know the world outside of the Bible.

>>718201259
thank you for being the first educated response >>718198410 (OP)

You can't make games about recent events anymore*

>>718198410 (OP)
>"No, there are no sex scenes in the game. In face, the game fades to black before anything happens. The characters kiss then it fades to black. It implies they had sex but never showed anything. Basically the equivalent of a PG-13 film"

>host looks at co-host

I would have been so mad if I was Dorito Pope.

media are scum. always have and will be

>>718208460
>And I read that you can even control the characters and do what you want, if you know what I mean
tbf playing as a Vanguard and acting like you're good at Mass Effect is disgusting, so I don't see the problem with that quote.

>>718198410 (OP)
Wasn't Mass Effect the first big mainstream video-game to have sex as part of the gameplay and a reward, like, with most characters from your party?
>>718205156
that's why liberals support censoring the internet?

>>718202487
Agreed. There comes a point that there needs to be fines on Parents who decide to do nothing for what their kids watch. I mean if they blame the system for something of their own fault, so to should they take blame for the fault of not overseeing their own child.

>>718209201
That's fair

>>718198410 (OP)
Conservatives are pearl clutchers.

>>718199240
This is why the mastercard/payment processor blowback will go nowhere, you show a normal person "incest/rape simulator for sale on steam" they will want to entire platform to be banned.

>>718209417
>Wasn't Mass Effect the first big mainstream video-game to have sex as part of the gameplay and a reward
I doubt it, but I couldn't say for sure.
There was that controversy about the sex mini-game in San Andreas, but that was cut content that you couldn't even access without hacking iirc.

You're a disservice to your argument. If you want your values to triumph you need to learn to not talk, because every sentence you type makes it harder for the people who share your views to succeed.

Oh no, not a sticker that told kids which music was cool
What draconian measures oh my stars

>>718200996
Anon Clinton spearheaded the biggest cuts to welfare in US history. It was literally the centerpiece of his campaign. You're retarded.

>>718200612
No, dipshit, they're neoliberals. That's right of center.

>>718203373
obscenity laws should be stricken down as unconstitutional, i think one state has done so. they're just vaguely worded bullshit to arrest people over moral panics.

>>718209417
Only the part where it gives straight hetero men boners, just like conservatives.

>>718198410 (OP)
The west considers sex in media a taboo.... except for game of thrones and other tv shows and glorifies violence. While for Japan does the opposite on top of censoring the hitler salute.

Conservatives have always been faggots

>>718201392
seeing all the trannys playing dnd they might have been on to something.

>>718210447
>The west considers sex in media a taboo
Fun fact: this comes almost entirely from revivalist and evangelical communities, and the reason it was and remains so important to these church leaders is because kids that are aware of sex are harder to abuse and more likely to report.

>>718209417
meanwhile in 2020s america

>>718210387
I don't understand how there isn't outrage over them. I wish I could ask a supreme court justice what wording the first amendment could have used to make obscenity laws not constitutional.

Children is and always was and always will be a bipartisan issue, you fucking retards.

>>718210985
Anyone that uses children as a prop to pass bad policy is a piece of shit regardless of party

>>718210720
the obscenity laws were put into place in the 1870s to basically say
>here's what is specifically not covered by the first amendment
and the supreme court agreed because it was the 1800s i guess
it's easy to tell what the moral panic was at the time.

>>718211052
It's not inherently bad policy to deprive adults of something for the betterment of children. Adults have always made sacrifices for children. The only adults who don't believe in that are pedophiles.

>>718211202
>It's not inherently bad policy to deprive adults of something for the betterment of children
This is hilarious
You're starting with a massive qualifier without even specifying what policies you mean (because if you specified a policy an argument could be made about how it's bullshit)
Shut the fuck up you piece of shit.

>>718198410 (OP)
You are not supposed to get it for cheap, your cummies.

>>718211259
>without even specifying what policies you mean
Well, we're on /v/ so I know you're talking about any policy that makes cp harder to produce and access which will always be an inherently good policy.

>>718211079
There have been other rulings since then, most notably the one in 1973, where they could have said "Nevermind that's retarded the constitution blatantly says you can't do that" but instead they just slightly changed the definition of obscenity. You can't blame past retards for this, modern retards upheld it.

The idea of judging the social value of speech to decide whether or not someone should be allowed to express it is so fucking unamerican it makes me seethe.

>>718211323
>still refusing to specify policy
shut up your piece of shit

>>718210985
Is it bipartisan? The Republicans seem hellbent on protecting Pedo Trump.

>>718198410 (OP)
to be fair sex in any media, be it literature, cinema, or ludoactive is the preponderance of the time just raunchy, meaningless fluff that only appeals to mentally vapid people.

>M rated games
>Oh the kids

Even back then these pedophile politicians can't stop talking about kids. How about thinking about the parents and fining them for bad parenting? These mother fuckers don't give a shit about no kids safety

>>718211480
>Pedo Trump
There's no evidence to support that Trump is a pedo and plenty to counter it, e.g. that infamous time he said he might date a girl in 10 years indicating he has no interest in children but does once they become adults. There's just democrats insinuating he is one by implying he's blocking the release of apparent compelling evidence that they once had access to and never released themselves so you do wonder why they didn't if it exists.

At worst, maybe he had sex with prostitutes who were not underage, because that is mostly what Epstein was actually offering, so "Pedo Trump" is just a bullshit smear.

>>718211714
lmao shut up you pedo defending piece of shit

>>718210985
No one was talking about children until you brought it up. Every accusation is a confession with you pedos

geoff looks so young there
