This is the game that the kids are supposed to be playing in South Park?
Yeah I know it's South Park but in the past it would've been Halo or Warcraft or KOTOR. Now the new hotness is a game where you can literally whip your dick out? For a bunch of kids?
I don't know, been years since I've watched South Park.
All I know is Japan censors all versions of genitalia in media, regardless of real or drawn. They also censor vomit too. It's a non issue since it's been long established, no rule change it's like getting angry at the Middle East for censoring any gay content.
It's cartman. He was also extremely interested in the Nintendo wii
Warcraft was featured but all 4 boys played it
I'm just saying that elementary school kids didn't have the ability to have sex with people in games 10-20 years ago.
Remember the controversy around the "Hot Coffee mod" with Rockstar getting threatened by government officials over a feature that wasn't even in the game? (the code was there but they hid any way to get to it before release)
Now if my triple A title doesn't include a press-X-to-fuck-the-goddess minigame it's fucking lame.
Oh bullshit.
Yes, graphically things are very different now, but I came of age in the 80s and 90s and there was plenty of downloadable porn, pornographic games, etc. The early days of the Internet were wild.
I played a Star Trek text adventure game where you could fuck Troi, explicitly.
Before the Internet, there was a local BBS (does anyone remember those) with two phones lines--most only had one--that you could dial in on that had degenerate shit, super tame by today's standards, but pictures, stories, games, etc.
Leisure Suit Larry? From the 80s. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/romancing-the-code-the-hooker-scene-in-leisure-suit-larry
The same as BG3/Witcher sex scenes? Nope, but this shit has only grown with the technology. It's been there since early days.
Bruh. I'm talking about mass market games, not schizo porn off Limewire and dodgy Geocities sites. 95% of kids were not aware of text ""games"" where you could diddle Troi
AND EVEN THEN
the exposure of the mass market is a totally different scale than the porn you could search on the internet. Exposure to porn is one of the most time-honored groomer tactics in the book. I wonder why the market developed this way?
to be fair, they could have just checked to see what new game was hot right now, and BG3 was at the top of some list, so they went with that.
Keep in mind, though, This was a scene from the south park movie...
Yeah I know lol. It's South Park.
I'm sure they just grabbed it off the Steam charts or whatever, but it does represent the state of the mass market. I was playing Baldur's Gate 2 around that age too.
