Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.
makyo@lemmy.world 1 week agoLeading up to the release of Cyberpunk 2077 a relatively innocent post about whether players would be able to romance anyone and sleep with them. The absolute mockery and scorn OP received was shameful. It really struck me because it was so clear how we’ve been conditioned to reject sexuality while at the same time being ultra-desensitized to violence.

What I do recall was one guy asking very specific questions about how much we would be able to customize genitals, and whether sex would be fully interactive with visuals of full penetration.
And while none of those things are wrong per se, the general vibe of asking about all of those things was very weird and pervy.

Unshackle your mind. Reject the puritanism bonk and embrace the horniness tentacles.

Hm maybe my memory of the post is fuzzy but that is more pervy than I recalled. Still gets to the larger point though about how we talk about violence in graphic detail with no self-consciousness but can’t do the same for sexuality.

Showing examples of your point, even :)

And? What is the answer to these questions? Asking for a friend …

I was pretty surprised that they did have genital customization in the game, no on the other two questions though.
