All this outrage against pixelated 'unwholesomeness"
I am sure Daggerfalls bare briasts are no longer even an option. And thats sad really.
After all, its just a nipble.

I dont understand?

Maybe its a cultural difference? As a blase european Im always a little amazed at how some people can find offense at a nipble or pixelated violence.
To my mind its like those 1930 parents who wont allow their children to read the donald duck, because its 'unwholesome and such examples will only lead to a life of destitution and crime'.
(Really happened.)


I am not the least bit disturbed by such things when displayed in an unreal enough environment.
I mean, Ive worked in a slaughterhouse once to pay for education and trust me, that kinda thing, that desentitises you.
So would a job in a morgue, or as a soldier I would imagine.

But what is basically a cartoon does in no way make kids grow up 'bad'. Kids know its a fairytale.
Kinda horrid things happen in real fairytales to the good guys at first, but the bad guys in the end.
To kids, the first bit is scary, but they revel at the bit where the witch gets shoved in the oven. They eat that stuff up.
Kids quite enjoy cruel things happening to the deserving. and sometimes the undeserving, you never know with some kids.
As long as its a story a make belief and has a moral.

The point here is that the 8 pm news is a whole lot more unwholesome than an allegory with a lesson to be learned from it.

Several threads about gore have just been locked, let's keep the topic a break for a day or so.

As for greater cultural issues, that's more appropriate for Community Discussion but the whole gore/nudity debate generally devolves in to nation-bashing very quickly so I'd suggest you leave that topic be.
