Most games unless it is a sex game shouldn’t have sex in it. My kids play lot of the same games I do and I don’t want them having access to sex in a game.
Most times it adds nothing to a story and is there just a preversion thing.
Your kids shouldn’t impact what artists choose to create, and parental controls and ratings systems exist for you to engage with (you probably should if you are scared of them seeing intimacy between grown adults)
Why is it sad? Some people want sex to be a private thing that individuals do outside of the public eye. Not everyone is a coomer who wants to revolve their life around sexuality. Just because people have different values than you doesn’t make it sad.

You can acknowledge that sex exists without someone’s life revolving around it. Just like “wanting sex to be private” may not mean that someone is just terrified of the topic itself or thinks all sex is gross and should be avoided.
Just because people have different values than you doesn’t make it sad.
Some values become more of a target for criticism than others. “No one should make content that I don’t personally approve of” is one that I would categorize as worthy of criticism.

Who said no one can make content if it has sex in it? People are just saying they don’t like it and everyone is sperging out about how children should see sexual content because they also see violence.
Sex is so much different than violence. Sexuality is something is developed over the life of a person and can be heavily influenced by early exposure. Where violence isn’t spurred on by video games (unless you are one of the boomers complaining that video games cause violence) because shooting people isn’t a part of normal life.
So, your opinion is that any and all violent content is never a concern, and is appropriate for any age, even small children?
“So YoUr OpInIoN iS” shut up lol. I didn’t say that. I just said violence is much different than sexuality, and thats reflective of how society treats the two topics in media.
This just means that penetrative sex with a penis is not required. Doctors can either inseminate people directly, or implant fertilized embryos.
But the only effective way to harvest sperm is through ejaculation. I.e. masturbation. So you’re really not avoiding sex altogether. You’re just going about it differently.
Gamers say they want parents to actually get involved and monitor the content kids interact with in games. A parent actually does monitor what their kids play, and suddenly gamers lose their minds.
In this case, OP is stating that he thinks no company should be making games with any type of sexual content. Just in case his kids want to play that game.
That goes beyond “monitoring what their kids play” and that’s why people are reacting strongly.
Do you recognize that some people may have different values than your own and it’s ok for them to strive towards upholding them? You are not losing anything in life by not having pornographic scenes in video games.
No, I just don’t want needless sex in my games. I don’t care to make it illegal or anything but I’m speaking out that I do not enjoy sexuality in video games and think if that’s something people desire, they can find that sort of content elsewhere.
Kids that aren’t ready to see sex in games aren’t grown up enough to play those games to begin with. I don’t know any non-porn game with a nude sex scene in it that isn’t a violent murder simulator. Except maybe Sims but that isn’t even graphic and even kids just find that funny to see.

It’s sad that people think like this

It’s sad that the commenter allows his children to go cyberpsycho on virtual bystanders but won’t allow them to see a nipple.
There is a reason the game has an age restriction.

OP stated that only porn games should have any sexual content in them because his kids play video games.
She people aren’t kids should see sexual content, but that’s it’s weird to be against any kind of sexual content but not be bothered by violence.

I have to say, that is not an opinion I’ve seen too often.

Sex is required for every human to exist. I’m sorry it scares you but you’re kids are going to be fucking fine.
Akchually in-vitro fecundation is a thing.

Do you consider masterbation sex? because uhh it isn’t
Solo sex. It’s definitely sexual at least.

Hi, it’s good to understand the difference between pornography and narratives showing intimacy. Good day.
Lol. You’re trying to censor an entire industry because the most natural human experience makes your nervous.
No, I just don’t want needless sex in my games. I don’t care to make it illegal or anything but I’m speaking out that I do not enjoy sexuality in video games and think if that’s something people desire, they can find that sort of content elsewhere.
Or you can just look for games that don’t have the “sex and nudity” tag and stop complaining?
Kids that aren’t ready to see sex in games aren’t grown up enough to play those games to begin with. I don’t know any non-porn game with a nude sex scene in it that isn’t a violent murder simulator. Except maybe Sims but that isn’t even graphic and even kids just find that funny to see.
It is quite obvious this was posted by an American. They are such prudes when it comes to sex and nudity, but think violence is just swell.
Don’t get into this if you don’t want to get dogpiled by prudes. Lemmy is weirdly anti sex scenes.
