I agree with the topic poster. Sex is completely normal and allowing its presence in media that can adults enjoy is a great thing. I don't want to have to bend over backwards to satisfy the 10% of the GOG population here that are puritans and their damn children. How is that fair for the 90% of us? Imagine having to tell myself that I can't jerk off to some adult games because of some vocal minority puritans in Australia and Hungary.

Also LOL @ these puritans and their thinking. How do you think you were conceived? Through hand holding, kissing, marriage and I-love-you's between your daddy and mommy? No! They were going hard and sweaty like animals just like the rest of our parents and anyone else who isn't afraid to say hello to romantic interests. This is not something to be ashamed of and is part of what makes us human.

rjbuffchix: Pumpkin Jack having the player be "evil" in order to progress is related to you making previous points which you apparently refuse to address the responses to, given that you moved on to making new points like this one about education. The concept of "Gish gallop" is related to you moving on to new points and arguments in rapid succession while leaving the previous ones unaddressed.
Am I the one moving to new topics, or am I just discussing things with different people that have mentioned different topics in discussion?

And "evil" is just a matter of perspective. When you as a "Pumkin Jack" walk to a AI controlled character, does it attack you without provocation or are you the one that needs to initiate the attack?

That is my point exactly. Sex was, is, and will always be. My parents have it. My grandparents had it, I get it regularly and everybody I know has it regularly. Sex is nothing special.

The difference is that I see sex and excess violence as a lowest common denominator and least effort try to make media product. When TV show uses sex or brutal violence, I know there is no point in continuing to waste my time on that show, because the authors are as unimaginative as I am and just putting this trash in to shock the average viewer and fill their time slot.
Now this tsunami of dreck is coming into game stores as well.

To me, it looks like you are the one having problem with sex, since your intention is to force my gog homepage to look like cheap porn site full of generic models from 3d porn comics. I just want those usually low effort games removed from *MY* list, since I am mature enough to not need them.

When I want to play video games I come to video game store.
When I want to jerk off, I go to a place that caters to my needs for that.
I don't have a need to force my jerk off material to be available inside every aspect of my life.

But kudos for being the first poster that didn't pretend that these games are anything more than simple jerk off material.

In my experience, the more repressed your sexuality is the bigger of a deal it becomes. I get triggered a lot more when I ain't getting any. I'm not posing any judgment on the reason for that state of affair. There can be perfectly legitimate reasons for it (maybe you're in a long term relationship where the other person stop being interested in it, maybe you are disabled or suffering from a significant personality disorder, maybe your particular predilections make it very hard or impossible to live your sexuality in a moral way or maybe there just aren't that many opportunities in your daily environment).

I think that as a society, we really should try to give people an outlet sexually as much as we can (whatever will allow you to scratch that itch that is not harming other people), because sexual repression never leads to a good place psychologically. It is just not conductive to civilized behaviour, especially with young men.

And this is one of the things where you are wrong. At least in these absolute terms. For many of these games it is true. Most hentai games are indeed just another form of porn. But there are some erotic games out there that have engaging gameplay or a deep story or both. So before you judge all those games as 'nothing more than simple jerk off material', maybe you should play some. It would probably do you good and also you wouldn't have to merely spot prejudice, if you actually tried them before judging.

What does the bible say? "Judge not, lest you be judged!"

I agree, but we are doing in the wrong way. We are normalizing porn without educating people about sex.
I don't see a lot of people saying "I feel bad, I should try to release this sexual tension because this is what's making me feel anxious and nervous". It is more that lizard part of their brain is telling them to jerk off. There is no understanding of the mechanics that happened in this process. This is just Pavlovian conditioning, and I don't think it will improve their lives in a long run.

When I was young, our sex shops were seedy and dark places filled with weird people with small selection of items on sale. Now, the sex shop is just like any other shop. You go in and talk to clerk about recommendations without any shame or feeling you are doing something dirty. This is how it should be.
I agree that people need some quality shops that sell adult video games, but pushing it like this on GoG is equivalent of selling vibrators in the same store where kids RC model cars are sold.

Check out https://www.cduniverse.com/ that sells all types of media.
When the store loads it is all normal content with search results containing only non-adult content. Search for sex acts and you will only get results for some weird songs.
When you press small "Enter 18+" button it transforms into completely new shop with dedicated categories and everything.

Is it really so difficult to make something like this on GoG?

The problem is, who is to say what is "shovelware"? My definition may be completely different from yours.
I do agree with the sentiment though!

I do have a certain feeling that you know what I am talking about :)

Let's just say, so far I gave ONE hentai game on GOG a try (Huniepop) and ignorerd all the rest, they're really not my thing. I might try Subverse at some point.
We recently got BADIK, that's a go. Houseparty would be too (but that ain't gonna happen). If we're talking good old games, I' go for Bonetown. We will never get games from Illusion, but something that goes in that direction would be ok.

That should give you an idea what I am aiming/hoping for.

About the whole "extra store" concept.

Why does no one complain about the negative influence of racing games on young adults when it comes to speeding? They don't have any educational value.
Should there not be a extra store for those who want to see games where you can break traffic regulations?

Emphasis mine. There it is. The difference is because you view something is a certain way, not because it objectively is that way. There is functionally no difference between wanting to filter out adult games versus wanting to filter out point-and-clicks or all indies or all AAAs or videogame movies or soundtracks. So please spare us all the psychoanalysis and boasts about how mature you are. Your comments which have gone on at great length boil down to "I don't want it here and that's that". Well, I and other people do want it here. You and others are the one throwing tantrums over it. Why am I the "immature" one? I can clearly handle this stuff being here but you and others cannot, at least not without filters to censor it out.

That's the hypocrisy of our society that we need to continually educate against. Because there HAVE been proven studies that bringing kids up with a healthy sexual education is better for society as a whole and THEM as individuals. Downvote all you want, you won't change those studies, ever. You'll continue to see them and people will continue to push sex education until it is accepted. End of story!

I for one want adult games on Gog. I’m hoping to see Sengoku Rance here someday. That said I can understand why people don’t want to see adult games in the front page. It would be nice to have a toggle in settings that filtered out all the adult games and posts. They don’t see adult games and I don’t see their whining in the game news post. Win win for everybody.
