Why is violence and gore okay but sex and nudity not?

I can understand it being extreme when combined, but sex and nudity on its own is still largely withheld, which is baffling to me.

I'm Yuropean, for reference.

Not that I am against sex in games, but you can't compare violence to sex. When people see violence nothing happens, but when people see sex they start fapping to it. that's why sex has a much bigger impact on people.

Yes, people may find violence groos or whatever, but they don't go out killing people afterwards.
When people see sex though, it very well could happen that some young teeny gets horny through this and starts fucking girls because of it.

Not that fucking girls would be a bad thing, but watching sex or nudity just has a much bigger impact on people.

What? If it's in an h-game yeah sure that's what the game is for, but I have serious doubts the usual player started fapping during sex scene in the few modern games that have them.

>>343530832
Sex is in culture considered something not to be done before the public eye. Its meant to be kept indoors and out of sight. Violence isn't as much. We talk about wars in history class, read comics about good guys beating up bad guys, its more accepted. Particularly when done against something evil, so video games about killing invading evil aliens dont get alot of attention but things like gta might.
>>
>>343533480
Nothing, but I guess people don't want this games because they fear they ge labled as pedophiles, because video games are still primarily for children and you can't control the age of the audience that well.

>Yes, people may find violence groos or whatever, but they don't go out killing people afterwards.

Depends on the nature of the violence.

Typically in video games violence is portrayed as fun and triumphant and that does tend to rile people up a bit.

It's short term, though. Your body doesn't produce the necessary hormones indefinitely but the same can be said for watching sex and nudity, i.e. getting "horny". Roughly 20 minutes of down time and the moment has passed.
>>
>>343533654
OP here.

That's an interesting input. It bothers me though, as it should really be the other way around. Amongst adults of course, this is not a discussion about sexual maturity.
>>
>>343530832
>Why is violence and gore okay but sex and nudity not?

What is acceptable in media is what your masters want you to be comfortable with.

Adolescent sex was never acceptable. But so long as governments need armies, they need kids who are cool with killing, even virtually.

When we live in the globalist utopia, violent video games will be a thing of the past too.

Violence is actually a mechanic, some kind of feedback. You shoot people in games, you fight monsters in games, you use all kind of violence to get to your goals in every kind of genre.

I don't see anyone complaining that porn games where sex is a mechanic lacks violence.

Sex in books not explicitly erotic novels is mild.

Sex in movies not explicitly porn is mild, however nudity has gotten more prevalent and accepted lately, which is good.

This is wrong, but on the right note. I think repeated viewing of violence produces progressively less and less of a reaction while sexual content does not. I don't know if it's a good reason to prioritize nudity/graphic sex over violence though.

Yes, but those sites are adult sites, and parents may block them. Video games however, are still considered a childrens thing, even when many games actually have an 18+ rating, how do you wanna control what games your child downloads on steam?

I think children should be able to fap whenever and to whatever they want, but parents tend to be very stupid in this regard.

>>343534468
>Sex in movies not explicitly porn is mild, however nudity has gotten more prevalent and accepted lately, which is good.

What? There's been progressively less and less of the stuff for the past 20 years. Every other movie through the 80s and early 90s had tits in them for no other reason but TITS!

It makes sense that it's ramping down in films, most of it was reactionary to the death of the Hays Code. For the longest time in America you couldn't even show a married couple sharing the same bed for nothing more than sleeping, much less have sex or nudity. The code declined during the 50s and 60s but film was still pretty repressed, it wasn't until after exploitation went mainstream that you started seeing this stuff in studio pictures. But they went overboard, people grew tired of the novelty and so gratuitous sex and nudity has all but vanished from everything but the genre films, even there it has seen a huge decline.

Because the undesirable effects caused by violence are immediately evident to anybody who has ever felt pain, while those caused by sex aren't.

It's easy to underestimate what kinds of troubles sex can cause when you already grew up in an environment that luckily put you in the right mind frame. Do you have any idea what kinds of problems does rampant unregulated sex cause in third world countries?

Society expects from people to not let their children have access to porn too. That's why they think nudity or sex in games is bad, because parents can't ontroll this at all, even though in reality children easily can have access to porn if they want to nowadays.

You make a good point.
However, you could argue that playing violent/gory games doesn't make a killer any more than playing games featuring sex doesn't make a rapist.

You guys need to realise that the vast majority of people who can afford video games are from first world countries whose culture tended to be dominated by Christianity for a long ass time. Like fuck guys, they have priests biting off kids dicks still.

>Sexy

>gore

>but it does tho

Well fuck. So we have sexy to jerk off too, and gore to make some uncomfortable and others jerk off to.

It's some grand scale combination of hypocrisy and old world religious values mixed with a little bit of the shame and insecurity we feel about our own bodies.

Regardless, censorship should be entirely from my perspective, but from the perspective of the government, it makes sense that bloodlust should be encouraged over actual lust. We certainly don't have any underpopulation issues. So let the kids play violent video games. Let the femenism run rampant, creating animosity between boys and girls.

It's not a matter of direct causality, but how lightly the topics in question should be treated at large.
It's easy to slip into the state of mind that we should ditch the values we used to hold because "we've grown up already", but the world is in a constant state of growing up.
