Adult Gaming

Hey there, just playing Super Mario 64 DS and while killing a goomba thought to myself: "Hey, even for a kids game, SM64DS is still pretty violent. I wonder why it is that teaching kids to kill is ok, but not to kiss, fondle and have sex..."

Just think about how absurd that is. Instinctively, you're probably thinking that "well, a child isn't mature enough to deal with the realities of sex."

Ah, but a child IS mature enough to deal with the realities of KILLING PEOPLE?

Think about it--imagine that all of the research suggesting violent games and violent kids go hand in hand. Wouldn't it follow that sexual games and sexual kids go hand in hand?

Which would you rather have?

Mass murder in high schools or mass pregnancy?

Both are bad, but which is better?

Why is killing 8,000 guys in HALO 2 just a guy and his game, but if he's having mad virtual sex with them or even fondling a digital boobie, he's a total smegging pervert.

I think there should be a new wave of adult video games. Games like they have in Japan--dating sims where you romance women into having mad sex with you. Games where the object of the game is to zap the clothes off of your opponent, although they can zap your clothes off, too. To add an extra wrinkle, you can actually take each article of clothing off in the real world.


Sure, there are Japanese games based around rape, but is rape worse than murder? GTA allows you to murder people left and right--how come rape is so much worse than random, thoughtless killing?

Anyway, this was my motivation for joining the DS_adult community here at LJ. If you agree with me or just want to talk about DS-related stuff without having to worry about kids reading swear words, join up! Here's a way cool banner created by insanenerd that you can click on to get there:
