The sexy women in video games are mostly just created by men to give other men some sexual gratification.
What difference does the gender of the creator make?
Hypocrite.
It's just people who won't even take the time to understand the most basic aspects of any criticism, and instead just go off on an unrelated rant every time. Fuck them
Hypocrite with no self awareness.
The male characters in games are mostly power fantasies, not sex fantasies.
The power of a character comes from its actions and options, not from its aesthetics. Male and female characters are often both designed to be aesthetically pleasing and stop pretending otherwise.
I doubt that's the case. People get addicted to pretty much anything (in the common use of the term 'addicted').
It's one reason video game addiction could be declared a mental health issue. It does actually exist.
It's just that its prevalence is (along with porn addition, sock addiction and talking common sense on the internet addiction) extraordinarily low and most people manage to avoid it becoming the sole thing in their lives.
Given that many female video game characters are created by women your point is wrong. Given that many female video game characters are enjoyed and welcomed by women your point is wrong. Given that sexy women in video games are supposedly taboo yet are no more sexualised than the apparently perfectly acceptable male characters in the same fucking games, your point is wrong.
It's just people determined to take offence getting irate that they're not in control of someone else's hobby. Fuck them.
If developers stopped doing exclusives, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo would have no power, and nobody would buy their systems.
I disagree with that. If you want to buy your children a device that lets them play computer games, requires minimal maintenance, offers relatively lower up front cost and fits easily under the TV then the consoles are an ideal solution.
Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Google and anybody else can differentiate their devices on cost, capability and other features (e.g. built-in blu-ray player, non-gaming uses, etc).
Exclusive games are not required. You don't have exclusive TV programmes for your LG TV.
Sealand is what was an illegally constructed fort in international waters outside the UK
This is but one of the consequences of demographic changes in the UK, where a vocal and militant minority has disproportionate effect on policies and social climate
No, this is not. This is being imposed by exactly the demographic that also tried to get Life of Brian shut down and banned.
hardcore, typically trashy/demeaning/reductive pornographic fiction
You mean the stuff I had access to in the 80s?
Oh, sorry no. You said fiction. The stuff I watched was real. People genuinely got properly fucked. That magnum champagne bottle did go in wide end first and they didn't have CGI back then.
the developing adolescent is better off with realistic/artful depictions of sex, frank conversation/education, and ideally healthy + safe + consensual + fun sexual experiences with real human beings
Face sitting and girlie squirting (whatever the fuck that's called these days) are illegal pornography in the UK.
Even with age verification.
Furries would be a more interesting one. Given that stick figure drawings of children having sex are illegal there's an argument that creative art of animals fucking humans would also be. I look forward to you testing this in court.
Slashdot Mirror
It's been in the pipeline since before May was PM
Yes, she initiated it while she was Home Secretary.
one of those big do-everything bills
Irrelevant, individual clauses can be struck from a bill or added to it. Most legislation has changes between initial presentation and being passed.
I'm losing mental capacity every time I read one of your messages. You're actually causing early onset dementia.
I just had the horrible thought that you might be in some sort of trouble, forced to communicate only through incomprehensible Slashdot posts.
Then I celebrated the idea.

How many people were playing Half Life 2 on a Playstation - with or without Steam - in 2004?
"Porn Addiction" is a myth.
I doubt that's the case. People get addicted to pretty much anything (in the common use of the term 'addicted').
It's one reason video game addiction could be declared a mental health issue. It does actually exist.
It's just that its prevalence is (along with porn addition, sock addiction and talking common sense on the internet addiction) extraordinarily low and most people manage to avoid it becoming the sole thing in their lives.
they're still aimed at male ideals - what men want to be like
Nonsense. I've seen no video games at all in which the men are depicted as Japanese schoolgirls.
What? You think all men have identical desires? No. You don't think women impose unrealistic expectations on how men should look? They do.
Why is it so bad here?
Him: in game bad, RL good
You: in game good, RL bad
That's a false equivalence, so your question is entirely moot.
Given that many female video game characters are created by women your point is wrong.

I didn't buy Half Life 2 because it was Steam exclusive.
But keep rewriting history, you'll get that job at the Ministry of Truth eventually.

The fort was legally constructed.
Carry a smaller gun. It's a firearm not a penis substitute.
You seem to be agreeing with the person to whom you replied. People buy Samsung products that they want and don't buy ones that they don't want.
They don't get so emotionally attached to the brand that they freak out when people highlight issues with its products.
Or as the rest of us call them, journalists.
Slashdot has been deleting comments routinely over the past several months.
While I do dislike comment deletion would this class as defending against a denial of service attack?
How are you going to display an image to someone you've banned from your sites?
I mean, shit, if you're going to troll at least show a modicum of intelligence about it.
On a single trip earlier this year I visited 22 countries, only one of which was in the EU.
I needed two visas for that trip, including one to get into Australia.
You're pathetically ill informed if you think EU membership is required for free movement.
Given the state of the Brexit fiasco a good distraction is required.
This law's inception predates the EU referendum.

Exactly the fucking same demographic.

One does not preclude the other.
Remember rule 34 and don't do an image search for 'zombie sex'.
You unhinged fucking idiot. Being anti-porn is its own political stance and can be included with any other political views.

the future sex-life of kids who grow up with this stuff
So stop the kids watching it. Who the fuck is letting children run wild on the internet in the first place?
Control the fucking children, don't impose child like constraints on the adult population.
it's a problem that is essentially unique to highspeed online porn video watchers
Is it fuck. It's been going on for centuries.
Just the fucking Prime Minister that's imposing this puritanical bullshit.
Yes, she's a fucking superstitious fuckwit. Yes, she's doing this to impose her superstitious idiocy on the rest of us.
Face sitting and girlie squirting (whatever the fuck that's called these days) are illegal pornography in the UK.
