Default Re: Fox News on Mass Effect Sex Debate

My biggest frustration isn't that people are upset about nuduty and sex in video games, its people knowing what the fuck they are talking about. The whole "hot coffee" outrage was justified. This was hardcore pornography secretly hidden in a game to avoid an unfavorable rating. If I was a parent, and I thought my kid could handle the violence, I at least can look at the rating and make those decisions.

In Mass Effect's case, people are outraged at the report of sex being in a game and giving absolutely no context to it. In the descriptions that these "pundits" give of the sex scene, it becomes quite obvious they've never seen it and are knee jerk reacting to the mere association of sexuality in a game that it obviously intended for a mature audience on every level.

They should be publicly exposed for the ignorant opportunists they are.
