What I AM saying is that the idea that sexuality is inherently more offensive than killing is straight up backwards to me. It's not even a capcom thing. That's just most societies, but Capcom is hitting a nerve with this

Exactly, it's ludicrous and always was. Especially in this day and age.

  • Mom/Dad: Billy what are you watching?
  • Billy: The Texas chainsaw massacre.
  • Mom/Dad: What happens in that?
  • Billy: People get hacked up with a chainsaw.
  • Mom/Dad: Oh, ok.

Later that day:

  • Mom/Dad: Billy what are you doing?
  • Billy: I'm playing Street fighter.
  • Mom/Dad: What's that?
  • Billy: It's a one on one fighting game.
  • Mom/Dad: Oh, that's nice... Wait a minute, IS THAT A PAIR OF BREASTS BILLY?!?!
  • Billy: yeah, I installed this mod and...
  • Mom/Dad: THAT'S IT! (Proceeds to confiscate the console)

As a parent myself, I understand not wanting to expose your kid to sexual content depending on their age, but in the context of sexual intercourse etc, not just a naked body.

I think the big difference is while violence is an expected part of life from wars and fights, sexual content is not.

sexual content

not an expected part of life

say that again, but very slowly...

alternatively I'd be thrilled to hear all about these alternative ways to have kids that you apparently think are out there...and then I'd like it explained to me how exactly that's not an "expected part of life"??
