I'm just enforcing the TOS. Remember, people can get indefinitely banned for debating these kinds of opinions, so it is better that one keeps their political beliefs about adult content to themselves. This is only a place to discuss the game, not whether playing it is right or wrong. There are plenty of other places to discuss such things on the internet. Here is not one of them.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

And this is why it's important to read posts carefully for context. Those who know that user well enough know that they don't mind such content in games. The post being quoted was more of a joke re: the game's theme(s) than anything else.

I was wondering this myself. I could not see anything political ... the usual "we all should hate those games" statements and the "be careful that you don't fap too much" "jokes" but none of this afaik can be considered to be political.

Unfortunately, Breja beat me to the joke-off.

But seriously it's times like this that make me miss Retsuprae's longplay riffs.

The reason I bring this up is because the whole "this destroys minds and lives" is coming from various anti-porn political websites and campaigns. So absolutely, this is political. I can give you a number a number of articles where several legislators around the world have been discussing this content in a negative way and are calling for a ban of it. That's what makes this kind of rhetoric inherently political. Now that I have defended my stance on why such language is political, I ask that we do not discuss that here, thanks. It is okay to say "I don't like it" or even to make jokes, but to insinuate that it can be destructive is inherently personal politics that do not belong on this forum. I will not attempt to defend this or debate any further. I've said my piece. Good day.

I agree with that assessment. I've seen a previous poster follow a similar line of thought for another game. If such statements were based on a heavy body of scientific work and there was strong evidence and consensus that such works are inherently destructive (kind of like they have for cigarettes and health), then it would be stating a scientific fact. If it was voiced as a personal impression using the "I", then it would be stating your personal opinion.

But neither is the case here. Someone's personal values are presented as factual.

And whatever your feelings are about filmed erotic material (where live participants are involved and their well being has to be factored in), when people start labelling purely imaginary entertainment material as deeply immoral and wrong, that's when we start getting close to policing ideas in people's heads and that's when I start feeling uncomfortable.
