Sony Cracks Down On Sexually Explicit Content In Games (engadget.com)

Slashdot reader xavdeman writes: Hot on the heels of its announcement of the specifications of the next PlayStation, Sony has revealed a new crackdown on explicit content. Citing "the rise of the #MeToo movement" and a concern of "legal and social action" in the USA, Sony has said it wants to address concerns about the depiction of women in video games playable on its platform as well as protect children's "sound growth and development." The new rules were reportedly already responsible for puritan cutscene alterations in the Western PS4 release of the multi-platform title Devil May Cry 5, where lens flares were used to cover up partial nudity.

Think of the children

[jwymanm]

Seriously. If we become a sexless society we will have less and less children. Add that with more pent up assholes like religious figures we'll see even more pedophilia. Blocking sexuality is actually hurting children because they will simply just not be born. Any ones that are born have future endless humanity self loathing/personality neutralizing laws to look forward to. Like giving up eating steak so you can live 5 years longer on a 70 year boring life. Thanks poundmetoo
