News Flash: Sex in the Media!

NOTE: this is a article heavy on gamer lingo and titles of video games, either brush up on your "l337 sp33k" or risk being confused

That's right folks, yet another tirade on video games. Another moron jumping on the OMG POLYGON TIT wagon. Now, I'm not sure if it's standard for republicans and religious affiliates, but it seems that whenever someone attached to these titles sees some sort of "deplorable" act of sex on a video game they feel like they need to go on some sort of crusade to stop the "filth" before it reaches the masses or, worse yet, the children.
How is it that when one Bible-thumping fucknut lawyer finally fades out of the public eye. Another more powerful one appears ready to carry on the legacy of his long forgotten predecessor? I mean wasn't Jack Thompson enough? We need more idiots riding the fuck gamers bandwagon like we need another G.W Bush term.

To go into a little more detail I suggest you read the following


Now, as I am unclear and too lazy to put the time into reading further into the issue I will tell you what I am assessing. This guy who had seen a you-tube video of the mass effect sex scene decided he would play "The Dozens" by slapping the collective gamer community with his no doubt over sized ego.
When the gamers responded en mass to the tune of: "ILL FUCK YOU UP NIGGERJEW BNEEVER UINSULT VIDEO GAMES, WE ARENT VIOLENTZE WE WILLKILLYOU." and this guy popped a big enough woody to follow it up with an even more childish retort. I'm reminded of the phrase "Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics." but that should just be implied.

Here's the reaction to the general gamer outcry

This is the almost 3rd grade response to the outcry of over a hundred enraged gamers. Not the most articulate when it comes to arguing with right wing assholes (or any other assholes) but they still know bullshit when they smell it.
He goes point by point debunking (but not really) "Gamer-nerd" arguments. The whole time making sure to take sharp jabs at them by making childish comments like:

"
Look, if the Gamer-Nerds need their pervy outlets to find true release and inner peace - then make them drive to the outskirts of town and be forced to frequent those places that no one wants in the community to get them."

Now correct me if I'm sounding wrong here, but isn't ostracizing someone due to their preferences kind of against the constitution? I mean didn't we learn after we, to say the least, infringed on the Black and the Indians?
Now we feel we have to target our own kin due to (and this is assuming that, much like Mr.McCullough implies, every gamer bought Mass Effect for the porn element, not the rich game play that I think it partially failed to deliver.) an overactive sex drive? I mean why bother with something so minuscule as alien tits? Alien tits have never hurt me and I have done the same in return.

What strikes me as odd is I have yet to hear people complain about Hostel II. I mean Manhunt gets an AO rating (basically no one will sell or produce an Adults Only game) but a movie based on murder, and I mean, thats ALL it's about MURDER! Part 1: People get murdered! Part 2: different people get murdered.
It's just odd to me that it's always video games that catch the flak on the inappropriate for our children front. And don't give me this bullshit "Murder simulator" line. If my time put into these simulators payed off in actual real life skill, I'd be killing for money by now, and I would be paid enough to be able to off guys like Mr. McCullough and get away with it. I am a trained assassin after all, right?

I guess a single quote comes to mind when thinking all this through.

"Hey it's the 20th century, whatever you can do to have a good time, let get on with it, as long as it doesn't cause a mur-dur" -Frank Zappa in the song "Jazz Discharge Party Hats"

Now, I think this is a two way street. If gamers want to gander at alien tits and beat off, whatever, but hey, gamers, if some dickweed wants to shoot his mouth on the internet and beat off, whatever, let just try out hardest not to cause a murder, huh?
