gandalf_der_12te, do games w Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to research

now do a research on the effect of lolis (young sexualized girls) in japanese media and whether it has an effect. i wouldn’t be surprised if the outcomes were similar, yet lots of people still whine about it.

Pedo alert

gandalf_der_12te,

what i meant that people don’t always care about the facts (of whether it actually does harm) as can be seen by your

MotoAsh,

You’re not wrong on it increasing pedophilia but nobody’s going to respect pandering to or defending pedos. As … should be obvious.

Liz,

I mean, if it decreases rates of sexual abuse I’m all for it.

Bennyboybumberchums,

Theres an argument to be had about AI generated cheese pizza, and large pieces of plastic being child shaped. Ive always been of the opinion that its fucking gross, but if it was to save even one child, it would be worth it.

Yeah, its morally icky. But Ill take icky morals, over actual hurt children. The government where I am disagrees, and has made both of these things illegal. I understand why, I just cant help but wonder if having access to these things could stop actual children being hurt? Like if theres a market flooded with AI generated pictures, it might, at some point, drown the market for actual pictures. Theres always going to be pure evil in the world, but if we can get the numbers down. Surely it has to be worth a try?

MotoAsh,

I dunno’ about worth a try, because I don’t want anything to do with bringing that vile of shit in to this world, even fake stuff.

Though if the science tracks like it does with violence, it should in general lower actual offenses slightly. Though there are always fuckheads out there that will want the real thing.

Liz,

You gotta do the experiment to find out if it works, unfortunately.

GreenKnight23,

perfect response to their argument.

Bennyboybumberchums,
HilichurlJack,

Yeah, if violent games (and I mean real ones, where you literally play as evil maniac) don’t make people do violence irl why would lolicon games (even hardcore stuff like teacher rape fantasy) make them do pedo crime.

I dunno if it’s just cause I’m older, but sex scenes in games and movies seem so unnecessary, what are they even there for? I was playing cyberpunk and nudity isnt a big deal but why were those sexually explicit ads necessary to the story?

Numuruzero,

I don’t know that necessity is a relevant bar for inclusion in games. There’s certainly a discussion to be had, and maybe that’s the point.

justastranger,

Something basic like the Mass Effect series helps sell the idea that you really did form a fully fledged relationship over the course of the game. As for Cyberpunk, the setting is literally designed to be dripping with sexuality. It’s not necessary for the story itself, but if you removed all the sex ads the setting simply wouldn’t reach the same level of “megacorporations maximizing psychological exploitation techniques”.

MourningDove, (edited )

The point is, sex and sexuality is rarely ever part of the narrative. Take it away and the story is still the same.

yamper,

the setting is an important part of the narrative too. the tasteless commodification of sex is absolutely relevant to the overall story the game is telling.

MourningDove,

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I’ve never seen gender or relationships be relevant to the story of any game I’ve played.

eldebryn,

You have (cyberpunk 2077), you just failed to comprehend it.

MourningDove,

V’s gender is entirely irrelevant in the fact that they are either male, female, or neither- because it doesn’t matter- And not one romance or relationship option has fuck all to do with the plot. It’s just side baggage and annoying cringe.

You can complete the game and not have ever had a single line of dialogue on relationships.

Therefore?

Irrelevant.

WolfLink,

I don’t know if you could have chosen a worse example. The sexual ads in cyberpunk are part of the worldbuilding and statement about society and capitalism. They absolutely are necessary to the story.

How dare you! You can’t throw facts at puritanical arguments; that’s illegal.

I mean…. It’s cringy as fuck, but harmless.

no its the right wing influencers backed by russia doing this. they are responsible for getting men into Right wing politics, and by extension hating women is one of thier goals too.

MrPiggyman,

right wing influencers are exploiting mistakes that the left did, they are filling in the role of fighters for male rights for example
