In this thread:
A puritanical world view combined with a failure to respect the ESRB rating results in a kid learning about the birds and the bees.
You're not concerned with people arbitrarily killing children, casual profanity, and ritualistic BDSM, but you draw the line at physical intimacy?
This post should be pinned for posterity. This is hilarious.
You don’t know that the OP is okay with any of that because you aren’t aware if the OP is aware of any of that.
What really happened in this thread: somebody had a misconception about the game, voiced surprised, was corrected, responded reasonably, and then a bunch of jerks piled in and reminded everybody of how abysmal trying to communicate with strangers online unfortunately often is.
The subject is "things that people find shocking or unacceptable." All of those other things are present in the game and are generally things that people find shocking or unacceptable, yet none of them were mentioned and the biggest pressing issue is a D-, awkwardly-animated intercourse scene that isn't particularly explicit. Putting on our thinking caps and understanding what critical thinking is, one could fairly infer that they don't have issues with those other things since those concerns weren't voiced and could have
easily been lumped in alongside the complaint of brief pixelated sex.
And if we follow your convenient logic and they actually weren't somehow aware that any of those adult themes were a possibility, then that tells me either one of two things: they pay zero heed to game ratings because they aren't particularly concerned what the kid sees (for a variety of reasons since I'm not blindly assuming things here,) or the kid is mentally and emotionally capable of handling an M rating, in which case this entire post is moot to begin with.
