Subliminal way of saying homosexuality is wrong? Perhaps.

It can only be that. Which really annoys me, I don't know anyone that's gay, I am not gay. But people who are they are, you can't tell them what they are is wrong, just because they are different to you sexually.

What about people that have a foot fetish, should those people be thought of as wrong and not shown in media for being odd sexually? I'm not saying that we should be showing gay sex on rainbow, but in a game made for adults, in an option and not something that's forced on you... what the hell is the problem?

OMG! I just thought of something........ I actually REALLY enjoyed that Airport scene in MW2. With all the killing, explosions and very realistic scenery.

Maybe I'm gonna turn into a terrorist?

Ooh....combined with Dragon Age, a GAY TERRORIST!

What Ho!

I've been playing noby noby boy, it doesn't mean I spend lots of time in real life making part of me grow in size for my 'Girl'.
Oh wait... :eek:

Dude. It's an EIGHTEEN. Are you whining about the massive blood and gore in other games? Or the fact in GTA you can have prostitues and kill them? Or in Splinter Cell well you strangle people?

It's a GAME. It's also for adults? Do you think the regular sex scenes are fine then to show to kids? What about where I slit a guys throat while he was helpless in a cage (obviously all in Dragon Age). What about the lesbian sex scenes, are they bad too?

What about South Park (which many kids watch) where they kill kenny, had a cripple fight, had cartman try to kill all non ginger haired kids, or had a boys parents killed then fed them to him in a chilli?

What about Saw, where people get maimed and tortured??

You're not making sense.

Come on, we all know that 18 certs on games mean jack-all.

Do I have a problem with the scenes in GTA, Saw, Throat slitting in DA? Hell yeah - if it's kids playing.

The crux of the problem is kids getting their hands on material that they are not emotionally mature enough to handle.

They get hold of stuff yes, what about saw??? There's tons of worse stuff that happens, I think even in Europe Trip (which has a 15 cert) which has a BDSM dungeon scene... well I'm sure you've seen the movie.

Your argument is weak.

So all games should be made with teletubbies, just in case kids get their hands on them?

Yet you singled out "the gay". Says it all.

Unless there's a gay teletubby scene....

I've played it and my character got it on with Zefran the kinky male elf and I'm not gay.. although I did do it simply so he would teach me the assassin specialisation skill.. so basically I used him too. Well, suppose thats not bad considering my character was sleeping with Lelianna the naive church girl and Morrigan the wild mage too.

I pretty much rolled the mack daddy. Completed it first run last night, great game.

The scene itself shows nothing. They are all a bit rubbish, with some harp music and the like.. its not like Watchmen where the blue donk is in your face.

I don't think this is a "gay sex scene is terrible" thread. It's turned into kids shouldn't be able to see this. Even though there is laws against it and certificates. If parents are stupid enough to buy their children such games. It's the parents fault and not the developers.

They CAN get their hands on it but whoever is irresponsible enough to do such a thing then that's out of everyones control. Unless we have a superpolice state.

Everyone knows gayers like flowers and pink wallpaper and not cutting folk's heads off, so there is an obvious paradox here people.

Seriously though

i've not seen it, but why is it even it? Is it to show some kind of character development?

The 18 certificate only means "jack-all" because parents are too ignorant to make sure it is enforced.

If you're looking to have a go at something, which you clearly are, have a go at the parents who buy the 18 rated game for their children.

It's not the games problem or the publishers problem, and I'm utterly sick of people making it that way.

Correction. I started on "the gay" - which has enabled this thread to blossom out into other areas that are problematic quite quickly. Good debate building that.

Who is blaming the publishers? Not me...

Can I quote myself?

Plus I think he wanted to say developers Moley.

Weak as in no logical basis.

I was going to say wrong, but I was being polite.

I did assume though you would read between the lines.

YOU ARE WRONG

See!

So why mention the gay scene at all?

Shouldn't you be discussing all innapropriate content available to minors in an 18 cert game.....oh wait, that's the end of that arguement!

Sshhhh - homosexuality is evil!

I enjoyed getting it on in Mass Effect.

If any young children are exposed to this then their parents are the gay ones.

Mentioned it because I'd just read it in the newspaper - which was what started off my thinking about this.
