sanscript: Imagine someone creating Carmageddon today..

A few mentally sick people are trying very hard to sound like they need to be heard and acknowledged to the point where they see themselves entitled to tell developers and artists to censor their own games (creative art).

I recently came over a video about a developer who got death threats for not caving in to this sick minority, and I applaud them for standing up to such neo-liberal fascism. These are the same people who want trigger warnings everywhere and wants to impose these "pronounces" on others.

In Cyberpunk 2077 you can't shoot children or use drugs in a big way (among other things), but today's games go far beyond that - they are so limited and so censored they are practically dumbed down to the point it's made for children (because violence is ok but nudity and drugs is down-right damaging for a mature person). Even the story in many modern games are like that where so-called mature themes are watered down..

“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.”

In the context of a game world that makes you the player in a world where you're supposed to affect the world, it seems silly to not being able to shoot children, use different drugs, run over people or having nudity just because it might offend someone that won't play the game.

The basis of most, if not all games, is to roleplay.

EDIT: If I want to roleplay as a terrorist with a so extreme perversion for onions, that I create my clothes with onions, use hair products with onions, and makes bombs with onions and garlic, and then throw them on people, no matter if it's men, woman, or children, then that's my choice.

It's still a game, not reality, which some seems to completely forget. :D

sanscript: I think you missed something when reading my post - I'm not accusing them of censorship because they don't want to add onion-bombs in the game. :D

This wasn't about things NOT in the game. The video I was referring to was about some people got mad about something that already is in the game.
