Rinse and Repeat, the latest from provocative designer Robert Yang, was recently banned from being streamed on Twitch. There are only 14 games on Twitch’s list so far, and Yang’s made two of them.
Ars Technica:
"Censorship is a funny old thing, especially when it comes to video games. Despite some opposition, it's often perfectly OK for games to depict all manner of blood and guts, but—as Rockstar found out in the infamous Hot Coffee incident—throw something sexual into the mix and the world is up in arms. There are plenty of poor examples of sexual content in games of course, particularly when it comes to the treatment of women, but as a medium video games are oddly prude when compared to their more artistically developed cousins like film and television."
We're not scared of nudity at all. The companies are the ones doing the censoring.
No, it's pretty accurate when you think about it. The most common families are up in arms about it, whenever some nudity is being shown. Think of the children, the animals, etc.
With that said, i'm not surprised this is written by one of the old Gamespot folks. Mark Walton was generally one of those without a clue.
YOU might not be. But, American society as a whole...yeah...nudity freaks them out completely! Don't you remember the Janet Jackson Superbowl incident? It was like a million kid's eyes were gonna pop out of their skulls because they saw a nipple!
This should read "typical American business owner afraid of nudity"
At least in this case

For some people, the following three games are art, for others it's just plain stupid, or going too far."

LOL I can't stop laughing. Oh and I'm were is the outrage. Image, if you will that this was a women's shower simulator.
So when is this coming to consoles? Only on Xbox One or PS4 console exclusive? /s
No, that would just be wrong. The Social Justice Warriors screaming objectification would be crawling out of the woodwork.
"Me must defend poor weak women that can't take care of self so big strong apeman must do fight for girl. Must show me mind have evolved."
Speaking of SJWs, where are they? This game popped up weeks ago and not a peep out of them.
