    Thanks for not just downvoting, appreciate it.

    For sure! It’s a tough line to walk sometimes. I guess I’d rather be a little more cautious personally. I wasn’t trying to attack anyone - just voicing my thoughts. Didn’t excpect this comment to be received as negatively as it was.

    Happy holidays 🎄

      Eh sometimes people just see a downvote and they all pile on. I thought your comment was very reasonable and added to the conversation so I undid one of them, even though I don’t necessarily agree with it. Keep doing you friend. Happy holidays!

      I’ve always thought we should have two types of vote. Agree/disagree and something about quality. I like to see opinions I don’t agree with. It is valuable info and makes things less of an ech chamber. But the internet is the internet.

      Happy holidays to you to.

      I agree with you as well. Thought your comment was sane and reasonable. No clue why you were being downvoted to oblivion.

      And then the bloke who says he’d rather create a female character, because he prefers to stare at her arse for hours.

      Man, like, if one is that horny you’re better off climaxing to something else—if you catch my drift.

      Happy holidays bud!

        Exactly! Why does everything have to be sexual at all times in games? Male gaze is a thing, and it’s kind of shocking that people are so seemingly ignorant about it. Just go watch porn lmao

        It really was just a joke. But at the same time it doesn’t have to be about being horny or climaxing. Aside from any teenagers present most of us don’t get a hard on just from seeing a pretty girl. It can still be more pleasing for us to look at a pretty girl (if that is what we prefer) without getting horny.

          All good. Hard to tell when it’s just text.

          You do you. Certainly not shaming. Still, I do find everything is being sexualised nowadays;

          Ads, thumbnails, films, music, video games—almost the entire internet. Ever tried scrolling through All on Lemmy or Reddit? Won’t take long for you to find erotica or something of the likes. YouTube and Twitch are even worse. Women creating content whilst partially showing and thousands of men throwing a bunch of money at them—or time for that matter (which gets them ad revenue). Not much different from OF if you ask me.

          The problem is you can’t escape it. And it’s affecting children as well. They see all of it and think it’s normal. Take a glance at TikTok and you’ll understand.

          In the end, I’d rather play a game for its story and gameplay instead of playing it for the “boobs and vags”. There is enough of that already.

            Yeah, it really is everywhere. I am constantly telling my daughter that it isn’t normal. I personally don’t play those types of games either. I am more satisfactory, portal and such type games. I only know about them because my kids play and I pay attention to what they play. I am only a year or so away from having to explain how fake porn is. I don’t know if the schools discuss that or not, but they probably should given how easy it is to access, and how many parents don’t want to talk about it.
