I still haven't seen an argument in favour of these scenes other than "b-but they're mature!"

"i can't understand how people are..."

this is a closed beta forum for a game that isn't yet released where feedback is ACTIVELY REQUESTED by the developers.

If you don't like people sharing opinions that differ from yours, you might want to rethink your approach to "community".

And, quite frankly, the selfishness inside the "i can't understand how people" attitude is emblematic of a kind of aggressively immature toxicity and gatekeeping that has produced, as GM4 has pointed out, a litany of fiction that is either a) completely diluted and lame, or b) infused with sex and violence.

One can only surmise that the lack of dramatic representation without explicit representations of things indicates a lack of quality writing and narrative capacity for implication.

.... "I" can't understand how people REQUIRE explicit depictions in order to enjoy fiction or feel mature. I think there is something broken and unhealthy about the insistence on explicit depictions as a representation of "maturity".
