Below is my posting about the Mass Effect/Fox News Story. I was surprised to read that Wombat played the game twice and I rethinking my choice to not play the game now, not due to the great, hot, full-frontal female (alien and non alien) nudity but due to the fact that it's worth replaying.
I love the fact that when the man says basically that it’s not the government’s job to censor this stuff, but the parent’s job to make sure their children aren’t exposed to sexual content. And then one of the women says that’s unfortunate.
This isn’t a surprise to me, and is nothing new. I just love an uninformed media’s reaction to this type of thing. The argument that kid’s let themselves in after school, are unsupervised, and will want to play their daddy’s video games (after they used the argument that’s it’s young teen boys playing games, not the dad) leaves me asking many questions.
1. What kind of parent lets their children come home to an empty house everyday after school?
2. What kind of parent leaves adult media out for easy access for their children?
3. What is keeping these unsupervised children from logging onto the internet, looking up all kinds of porn? Is there material on cable TV that could be considered more mature then Mass Effect that they could access while they are unsupervised? You might say their are safe guards against that, but their are safe guards now in place on the Xbox too.
4.What’s keeping your child from having some friends over after school in the empty house he comes home to, and having a massive orgies and sex parties?
5. If you’re child is really old enough, and mature enough to be coming home alone from school, to an empty house where there is no parent to moderator him, isn’t he likely to be mature enough to handle this content?
Maybe these people should talk to their children, and educate them about sex when the time is right. Do their job as parents in regards that they clearly are not. And not get on to soap boxes that they don’t belong on since they don’t know what the hell they are talking about.
