It is, apparently, always possible for there to be less clothing.

    It stiles me as a bit absurd that we find simulated violence normal but simulated eroticism abnormal

      That’s only because you are ignorant of how much of American values are based on puritanical lifestyle and regressive sensibilities

      You can show all the heads exploding you want but god forbid some kid sees a boob

      Iirc George R.R. Martin has a similar reaction when people complained about the amount of sex in Game of Thrones. A telegraph article that immediately asked me to login said that he was

      always astonished that there’s always so much more controversy about the sex than about the violence," and that this reaction “says something about us that isn’t necessarily a good thing to say”

      It’s because you cannot under normal circumstances engage in a killing spree but most can get laid if they have previously put in effort.

        This still assumes both are equal in both motive and morality.

        Sex is just better than violence in all respects (except when combined, yuck).

          Both combined is perfectly fine when both (or all involved) people specifically want it. It can be a lot of fun as long as youre being safe.

            Yes! Exactly! And you also have to both know and trust each others limits. If you offer for your partner to spank you, and you’re expecting a light little funishment, but they go full ham, and blister and bruise your ass, you’re both going to have a bad time.

            But if you both know and expect similiar ideas, and thats whats engaged in, respecting limits, and respecting consent, and respecting bountries, it can be a lot of fun.

        I’m not sure that’s it - there are plenty of very successful games that simulate activities requiring less effort than getting laid.

      The vast vast majority of porn is either completely contextless or any just plain trash. People prefer porn when they have some kind of connection to a character with actual personality.

      Also these mods are also porn, free, and on the internet.

    This article was pretty funny. I loved the writing style

    As for the subject matter, I have never understood these mods. When I was young I gave them a try in Skyrim but I remember it just being distracting. It feels like multitasking: I’m doing two things half as good. I really don’t see the point.

    So that being said, I would love it if they had metrics on how long the mod stayed installed and how far into the game the player made it. Impossible, surely, but it would really clear up for me whether people are genuinely playing the game or whether they’re installing for a level and… Ahem… Moving on to another activity

      I put genitals on all my monsters in Monster Hunter. I derived no sexual pleasure from it, I just loved that it was a thing.

      Wasn’t planning on reading since I don’t care about Stellar Blade but thanks for the heads up. Article is hilarious.

      Just a small note, you forgot to include quotes in your comment. Didn’t realize you were quoting the article until I read it.

    Doesn’t bother me, heck I got the classic Residebt Evil on GOG and of course there’s a mod to make Jill topless and pixilated. We just live in those times lol
