Okay, so video games should be able to show rape, beastility, and all that sick sh*t?

And racism?

Yes if they want and think they have a market to appeal to. I'm in favor of child soldiers. all humans should be fighting the reapers and all other enemies. all humans that can carry a weapon would be needed if only to keep order while organizing resistance or retreat from Earth and human controlled colonies. there is no real reason to not show violent scenes against children.

Krzimmer, you missed my edit :(

What's your take on the Vorcha? Did you object to them in ME2?

Oh, the Vorcha.  Yeah **** those guys!  lol.

Really though, in my mind you can't really compare them to humans.  There just ... well... different. Yeah. the way they develope, ther physiology and all that stuff. 'nough said i think.


I might call you a 'speciest' now with my tongue in cheek ;)

I just found it interesting that Bioware have basicly already made a precedent regarding children and violence with the Vorcha, yet nobody raised a word in outrage. I guess people find it harder to be empathic towards beings they only experience on the other side of a gunpoint and in purely negative encounters.:blush:

Exactly.  pretty genius work on Bioware's part.

Quoted for truth.

Let's not rule out subject matter just because we happen to find it offensive. All themes are fair game in my book. Just look at what anime does with this topic for instance; it pops up time and again, and in some examples is very well done.


Anime isn't the best example, as it tends to use stereotypes. As does Square Enix.

Seriously ? People are afraid to see children defend their lives against a threat in the streets ? Oo

Hordes of monsters running around the streets, and they could not defend themselves with what they find on the ground?

I don't see that there's so shocking. You killed children in DA0. ( connor, the circle of ferelden etc )

You complained I hope ?

I doubt many children would have the emotional fortitude necessary to be infantry, let alone the physical strength. Many men cannot do that job and plenty of them get very ****ed up because of it.

Should be able to? Yes.
Needs to? Not necesarily. It depends on the setting and to what extent it is used.

And some of the stuff you mentioned up there is already being used in games, so I fail to see your point in mentioning rape and racism in that quote.

I mean shown explicitly when I meant rape. I have yet to see a game do that. I have scene games where rape is implied. Racism I am strongly against in video games. I'm not talking about aliens being racist to humans and vice versa, I mean other things.


I would never buy a game where rape was explicit,  the city elf scene particulary as a female in DAO made me a bit nauseous to be truthful,  but,  I respect the right for it to be integrated into the game.  I would have to pick and choose my games a bit more carefully,  but,  I am more than willing to do that to see video games starting to grow up. 

I just don't understand the morality constraints placed on gaming simply because it's an interactive medium and it's open to children.  While film has no interactive story it is just as freely available to children be it on TV,  The Internet,  or parents simply not censoring there children as they properly should and expecting the industry and the government to do it for them.

Maybe people of 16 and higher could be call to mass conscription. After all they need any people who can fight to replace the ones lost during the initial attack and to reinforce future attack or operations. But I don't see them calling out people under 16. -EXCEPT- if they're is like a couple of thousand human remaining which is not the case.

Wouldn't necessarily be proper military. I imagine ordinary people might just fight in disogranised groups because it's better that than die. And they'd probably be willing to have anyone help them if the situation was dire enough, including children.

  video games are baaaad, video games contribute to violence, video games shouldn't seem to our world where there is racism, sexism, murder, etc etc. And so video games shouldn't exist. :pinched:

A rape game as well? I think they have those in Japan but Japan is ****ed up anyway.

all we have to do is oppose those fascists and we don't have to worry about it. i say we all support all free expression in video games. it is about artistic freedom and if people don't like the content then they don't have to buy the games! ^_^

I know it sucks right? Until developers grow backbones and stop caring what ignorant douches think they'll never reach their full potential.

That's the video games of the future.

No violence,  everyone's buddy, no one kills anyone. Video games must make happy.

Yes to all those ideas. it is free expression. and it is really sad to see that Japan has a stronger free expression in the video game market then the USA. <_<

It wasn't explicitly shown so I can deal with that.

There should be a limit to "free."
