short answer: Religion

No , I mean games like Skyrim only (18+) games...
and my mind would like after a good kill to rest with my wife and have some fun (explicit).

I wouldn't be so quick to generalize the whole country as like-minded people who think sixual content is inappropriate. It's more accurate to say there's a population of people within the U.S. who feel sixual content should be excluded from all mass media and products, which I don't agree with, but who's to say when sixuality should be in a game? That's left up to the developers to decide when determining the artistic direction of their product. To suggest that because most games omit sixuality there's a culture of censorship is incorrect. There are many games which have very explicit sixual content, they're not wildly popular because they're not marketable, but they do exist. Just because you feel differently doesn't mean the market should bend to your will.

In Australia Skyrim is 15+, and you could rate it 80+, for some reason society thinks that if it is a game it is for kids.

Saying another culture's ways of raising their children is 'improper' is, I'm not sorry, ACTUALLY 'improper.'

Define improper. I'll be your christian granny will agree with you, but not free thinkers such as I :{D~

Wrong. in a game you know that you are killing a AI in the game and 9/10 it wont stick with ya. Nudity however is all mental and all you do is look. How many of you would make a girl charicter to just see her naked if they allowed it. Nudity effects the sense and six is a natural thing and murder is not natural. If you think murder is natural then you have something wrong.

I have areal six life

but having fantasy in a game would became a release of those good or bad fatasms...

(Imagine a scenario of skyrim where while you go kill some bandit meanwhile your wife took an arrow in the... then return find the guard on her, you could do a quick kill or jump in the fun. example)

Animals are natural. Animals murder.

Humans are animals. Murder is natural.

Hate to burst your bubble :{o~

No, conservitive and relegiously minded people do not always think six is a taboo subject. It is a wonderful thing for married couples. but its not like you walk up to friends and just start talking about it? And believe me, I am not like "GASP!! THEY SAID THAT!!" I am not that type of person.

And the thing is violence is what we see in a tipical video game. you don't see much sixuallity in it anyways, so who really cares?

This is America. We're OK with seeing violence, but few people actually commit it. We're not OK with you seeing six, but go ahead and have it! Oh, and we have a lot of nukes. Cheerful thought, eh?

No, I don't think that is what the OP is suggesting at all. He's probably just as baffled as I am about why six and nudity are so taboo in most US video games, whereas In The Witcher 2 (a European game), has sixual content and references. AND I might add they are in context, there's no reason that they couldn't be in Skyrim. Hey now I come to think of it, DAO had some horizontal lambada as well. It's not that I want loads of six and nudity in games all of the time, it's just I cannot for the life of me understand why we have to be so coy about what we all have (a nekkid body and ...urges...), and why such a moral kerfuffle about it must not be allowed in games is made.

How in the world would the site of a boobie harm a kid? After all, it's about the first thing they see after being born...

Animals kill out of necessity, Humans kill out of a number of motives.

Including necessity... :{o~

I disagree. sixual images stick with the mind and six is a natural thing and moral and unmoral if you have six and you are of legal age its ok and you wont be punished unless you were not planning and 9 months later a little time bomb comes up. Violence such as murder in this case of the game is not a natural thing. Thats the distinction between right and wrong on that part as well it is illegal to murder someone and that is well known. Pretty sure seeing a naked women/man on a stinkin game is going to top you killing 3 elder dragons and finishing off a bandit.

That argument doesn't work and you know it

I still don't see the problem wtih this. Yes, that's a boob. Odds are, as soon as they figure out how to work google, they'll be seeing much more than that.

Not to mention, I still don't see how this is a valid argument. Kid sees naked virtual woman -> likes it -> we know he's straight before we otherwise would have (not that there's anything wrong with being gay, I'm just saying - that's pretty much the worst case scenario). Saying that nudity does anything to your mind, is just as inane as saying the violence in video games does.

I HAVE six WITH MY HAND AND KILL SPIDERS IN MY BATHROOM

I AM NATURAL. I AM UNASHAMED :{D~

trollolo what are we doing in this thread

Talk to puritans about six then....

OOHH i forgot the drugs (dreamworld) they dont affect kid either..i guess.

the fact is Realistic,good senario, advlt game (not cheap) should exist whitout justifiquation.

Yeah lets ask all the porm addicts out there and see if thats true. Trust me images stay with you. I bet you think about it more then wanting to go kill someone. Not saying u think about murdering someone just making a point.

The fact is our glorious leaders are too out of touch with society to realise we grown men use games too.
No offence, but are you female? Me and my buddies didn't talk about anything but six.

MMMM I THINK ABOUT THOSE IMAGES ALL THE TIME ;{D~

But I'm also rational. And even if I was 5 when I discovered porm, I'm sure I'd be the same today :]

That was your choice then. No need to use images then when you can just google it. Not everyone is under 18 when they buy the game.


Also the point of this topic was why they dont show it in games. Not saying you think about it all the time just more then the violence in the game. Pretty sure instead of you talking about battles in skyrim your going to talk about the images in the game.

Let's take a look at two similar high profile figures:
Micheal Jackson: Led a sheltered life and became a teeny bopper idol, and then a respected music artist, then a broken man rife with sixual allegations
Prince: Discovered porm at age seven, became a six addict and sang about six, became a Jehovahs Witness.

I doubt it has that much of an effect

Normally, I can at least be civil with people I disagree with, but you're a moron. That isn't an opinion; it's a fact. You are THE stupidest person, I have met on the internet, to date.

Let's go over it, shall we?

You compare a pixel woman, to a real woman.

Use "pictures stay with you", as "evidence", when really, it contradicts your entire argument. If seeing a naked woman makes you destined to be a porm addict, running over pedastrians in GTA seals your fate to be a serial killer.

Yes, I do think about it a lot. I'm 17, show me a 17 year old, who DOESN'T think about six on a regular basis, and I'll give you a cookie.
