I can see both sides and agree with the Christians on an abstract moral level but think they're being stupid on a practical level. The argument over the morals of gratuitousness in media is really a separate one from the one we've been fighting with moral authoritarian infiltrators, who are not opposed to gratuitousness in and of itself. They are simply opposed to the idea of being free to enjoy whatever you want to, particularly if you're a white heterosexual male, plus they'd love to destroy whiteness and the concept of traditional masculinity, conceptually. Captured content is often gory and sexual, if that provocativeness helps to undermine traditional values somehow.
Freedom in media has to be the watchword and 'moral media' is meaningless if it's a top down model, imposed by anyone other than me (j/k). Until this conflict has an outcome, any discussion about the moral degenerative effects of lurid content in gaming is pretty pointless, because normal functioning heterosexual archetypes are still being suppressed here. I think there's a discussion to be had about the value, or dearth of value, of games that wallow in lurid trash, but to the extent that the conservatives in this side-discussion are presenting themselves as maybe wanting to ban that content, all over again, then they're setting themselves up as puppets in a psyop. Then again, so are the ones screaming 'reee fucking christcucks' and repeating 'woke right', the gayphrase of the week.
