Death is treated trivially because it is serious, six is treated seriously because it is trivial.

It's a shame humans have ended up more like the chimpanzee than bonobo. Imagine what games would have been like if we'd been more like the bonobo. Hardly any violence and just imagine the choices available in dialogue with an npc:

You enter a village and talk to a randon npc who says "Hello, stranger and welcome to our village.We're so glad to see you!"

Choose:

1. Engage in oral six.

2. Engage in mutual mastvrbation.

3. Engage in frottage.

4. Engage in penetrative six.

5. Call other npc's over and engage in mass orgy.

This is not that big an issue.
SJW's aren't really doing much.

It's more likely because it would simply be garbage in most cases.
Your game is better off not trying. Violence is easy to fake and enjoy.
Good or genuine six in games will be a thing when six dolls/robots stop being terrifying nightmare material.

Tell that to militant Swedish feminists who hate human sixuality as much as Westboro church.

Not just us Mericans to blame these days.

This I can understand. It does help with roleplaying.

Too many players, though, just wanna see boobies!

For many players, six has nothing to do with love, but rather lust. Lust =|= Love

Can a hug be love? Holding hands? A kiss? Why must intercourse be the deciding factor?

For me, my characters can love without six. Love manifests itself in so many varied ways. Yes, six is one of them, but not the only one.

Also, how many video games deal with the "consequences" of six, if they include it? Pregnancy? Diseases?

For me, my beliefs have been under attack for about 50 years. six used to be enjoyed between people as an expression of their love, usually. Now, it is just us acting like animals, ruled by our genitals. And praised for it, or blasted for thinking differently.

Brits are uptight wankers .

Re. Australia, "Originally, video games in Australia could only be rated up to MA15+. At the time, the R18+ classification rating could be given to film, but a video game with content deemed fitting for the R18+ rating would be 'Refused Classification' due to an appropriate classification not being available for the medium."

As far as current guidelines go, it mentions [censored], child abuse, bestiality, tentacle porm (that seems like the main thing "fantasies that are offensive or abhorrent" would cover ), and bestiality. Most people wouldn't really describe that as prudishness, and it also has bits about extreme violence, such as "violence with a very high degree of impact or which are excessively frequent, prolonged or detailed", which means it's not zeroing in on sixual stuff (its targeting all outliers of questionable value).

An ideology that originated in the USA.

Hey Sam, you mentioned bestiality twice.. not to go all Freudian on you.. but you mentioned it twice.

lol okay, why don't why just combine violence and six into one despicable act, and get the best of both worlds!

Alternative explanation: it's disturbing enough that I repress the memory before I even finish the sentence, because it's disturbing enough for that .

Second alternative: I'm losing my faculties in my old age .

I'm still a bit confused as to where everyone sees this "violence is fine" mentality. Because from my observations, even in the US, the SJW's and moral crusaders seem to go after violence probably more than six. People claimed video games make you violent, they tried to link school shootings to video game violence, and some still find time to complain about it.

Eh. Bestiality is better than necrophilia at least. It's still a living breathing animal of some kind.

Honestly, whenever I hear someone misuse the phrase "making love", when they actually meant just lustful/simple intercourse, I want to backhand slap the behind of their head... As I, too, do agree that six isn't love every single time. Heck, due to me being an Ace, six isn't love at all in my eyes. It's just an sickening act that is useless unless you want a child.

i agree that six and love aren't necessarily always connected..

as an example, I have a buddy i went to university with, a really kind and smart guy.. anyways, hes Asixual meaning hes not sixually attracted to anyone at all. however, two years back he did get married, because in his eyes love has nothing to do with physical attraction or sixual intercourse, but instead more of an emotional and spiritual connection..

I mean lets be honest, chances are if something in a video game is even remotely controversial, someone somewhere somehow is going to have a stick up their craw about it. Be it religion, depiction of women, nudity, violence, drug-use, LGBT etc.

Americans: so prudish the English kicked them out!

(Robin Williams reference, I'm American)

Supposedly Japan indulges in more gratuitous violence in media but has a much lower violent crime rate.

Or necrophilia is better because at least it's still a human, and it doesn't harm a living being...

Or how about both are disgusting, and anyone who practices either is a sick, twisted individual that needs to seek serious medical help from a psychologist.

I am inclined to go with answer C.

ITT: People talking about what squicks them. And armchair psychologists.

Well, I have no problem with six in a video-game or in any other form of entertainment. However, when it's done poorly, then it tends to detract from the experience, especially in video-games where most of the story-telling devices tend to be sophomoric at best, much worse than many b-rated films.

I will say this -- If the game can implement six with a degree of maturity, without detracting from the story or flow of the game, I'll be happy, if not more than happy because it shows a high level of skill on the writers behalf.
