Millions of people consume violent media, then go through their lives without so much as a bar fight. I do not accept, on any level, this idiotic idea that we should ban games because it "encourages" violent behavior. So what? When did our standards fall so low that adjectives became legitimate points in a discussion?
Not everybody had a white Christian upbringing (and many who did really get into the fantasy, but I digress.)ĭo I find this personally nauseating? Yes. consenting couples.who simulate rape as part of their sex lives.
