Think positive mate! Think that no porn site has managed to ask for a quad core CPU and a mega GPU to watch their videos. So when you'll grow up, and have children, you can say to them that you were a pioneer in watching porn on high end PC stuff.

TullyFernado: It's pretty obvious to me that the 'OP' was acting as a parody, and yet these regressive reactionaries are so eager to pounce upon and rant at this Bogeyman caricature they've made up in their heads called "SJWs" that they don't even take two seconds to notice that.
Yeaaaaaaaaaah, about that. Unless OP is playing some kind of long con, it's not happening. Thanks for the insight into your mental gymnastics, though.

Shrug. Doesn't change the fact your ilk had a field day flipping out at him over it for 8 pages. Nor does it change my second statement. (Nor some of the issues that The Witcher does have concerning women, from what I've seen.)

Way to decide this is for the OP to speak again. If not then like most things it is open to interpretation.

Personally I doubt a minority who may have issues with sex in games would be an issue here. My concern is censorship (rating's boards) when the game releases to various markets (particularly Australia / NZ :).

Government censorship is an entirely different thing from some individuals' personal (or professional) critiques of a game, or any other form of entertainment or artistic media. The inability to recognize and understand that distinction—which should hardly require subtlety or nuance of thought—is, at least in part, what has led to a lot of unnecessary consternation among a certain nutso fringe cultural subset alluded to above.

Our ratings boards (certainly in Australia) are an assembled group of individuals from the general public not government driven but government enforced there is a difference I think you are missing.

Though there is a tendency for them to be conservative or for games publishers to take a more conservative (censored) route with games to ensure they get through with as little hassle as possible and for lower ratings.

I don't see the need to distinguish. If a vocal minority get enough publicity it can sway censors to be tougher or publishers to self censor. Perhaps you fail to have the "subtlety or nuance of thought" to understand their can be cause and effect relationships between the two :)

You mean nutso like yourself? Or how about your claim that neofems don't have a problem with sex.

From Andrea Dworkin's wikipedia page, one of the founders of third-wave feminism. About her book Intercourse...

In the book, she argues that all heterosexual sex in our patriarchal society is coercive and degrading to women, and sexual penetration may by its very nature doom women to inferiority and submission, and "may be immune to reform".

That's why i said that just being attracted to women is enough to promote "rape culture" according to those lunatics.

It's unbelievable how fucking sick third-wave feminism is.

I went to a college known for it's liberalism. I had the pleasure to see it in all its forms from man-hating feminists to stoned out Deadheads and everything in-between. I've heard of dozens of forms of vegetarianism and their nuances. Strangely enough for such a liberal college, there was also a very strong neo-conservative movement. A lot of it had to do with the large number of East coasters paying for out-of-state tuition.

Frankly, the wide variety of opinions was enjoyable, it was just the extremists on any given side. Feminists who literally just hated you because you were male. Hippies who hated anyone from the "establishment". Neo-cons who hated the irresponsible Hippies. Vegans who hated the meat-eaters (or who wanted to do a Jehovah's Witness vegan conversion). But all of it meant I understand some of the "language". Like in the movie Airplane with the old lady translating "jive" to English and back. Not sure that scene would exist today as it would be considered "clearly racist" nowadays.

And as it was there, it seemed often the most influential of a given sect were the most whacked out.

#sarcasm (with just enough reason mixed in to sound vaguely believable and draw you in)
Notice that he said that "almost nobody (...) claims the mere existence of sex reinforces rape culture", even among radical feminists. In other words - yeah, SOME radical feminists believe that the existence of sex reinforces rape culture, but they are not an overwhelming majority and should not be presented as such. Consequently - the whole movement should not be judged by their words or actions. Feminism, at its core, is about equality. It's in the very name. Spell it with me: "e-q-u-a-l-i-t-y": feminism. Ask any feminist and she'll tell you the same.
On an unrelated note - #Gamergate is just about harassment and everyone who supports it is evil. Even if they do stuff like donate to charities, it is all in the interest of hurting others, you just need to see the big picture. The "issues" they allegedly think about are just a smokescreen to confuse everyone. Don't even try to analyze their regressive bullshit about ethics: it's just there to confuse you, and they don't even believe a word of it themselves.

Ugh, I don't know whether the above was at all necessary. It's kinda discouraging when you can't really satirize people by showing the absurd conclusions their reasoning leads to, because their assumptions and reasoning are already absurd enough by themselves. Poe's Law and all that.
Hell - look at this thread. It's full of people confused at the encounter of outrageous claims. Downvotes have been cast and sunk the offending posts. Is there really any further need to beat the dead horse? These people mock themselves. They are their own worst enemies. If most neutral parties will be taken aback and repulsed by certain rhetoric, the most didactic thing might be to sit back and let nature run its course.

And by almost nobody, it including Anita Saarkesian and her followers with all the misogynistic video games with boob armor and misogynist damsel-in-distress plots...

I swear CD Projekt love trolling the media. I read impressions of the opening scene with Yen and they simply talk. There is no sex. They're talking right after sex, but it's still just talking. :P I'd say that is an effective hook for the player.
