Sex Vs. Violence and Steam’s Rejection of “Seduce Me”

Leviathyn.com | It’s a longtime discussion in the video game world… Where do we draw the line on what’s appropriate and what’s not? And an important topic in this discussion has always been why we are so limiting of sexual content when violence seems to have no restrictions. Steam’s Greenlight has brought the conversation to the front page of video game news once again.

This topic is always coming up. Why are so many gamers against seeing naked bodies in video games? I'm surprised there isn't a push for MORE skin to be shown!

I personally do not have a problem with this game. I will not play it (not really my thing) but there are probably people out there that would. To be quite honest I am not really sure why there is intense coverage of this game. After all it is just a game. I remember BMX XXX had stripper videos after doing certain things

Ignorance, willful ignorance.

In other of the other articles on the subject, someone brought up that Steam didn't want to be associated with "offensive" content... as if all the blood, gore, violence, and wanton killing in the other games is perfectly fine.

For some reason, though, it IS. People are, essentially, brainwashed into thinking that sex-related things are bad, while they do kinky stuff all the while behind closed doors. To be honest, it's starting to sound like Japan: socially, on the outside, they shun sex and anything sex-related; but in private, everyone's a super freak.

What I don't get is how this mentality became so popular in the first place.
