Abstinence is the only way.
I wish OP wasn't banned so we could find out where the hell they were from
If you mean the residence of OP, then I suggest reading the OP.
When I saw the first posts I was ohboy this is not what I meant. I think this thread learned me not to make any thread anytime soon which will resolve around a discussion. Mainly due to the language barrier for not being able to correctly express myself. It took me a few hours to make the thread. I just want to make some points clear. - Women can have sex in game (Not sure where I say they can't) - The female characters I'm playing can have sex as long as it suits the context and same counts for male characters, but I think this is where my expression is understand differently. I'm not saying I'm against sex. Maybe I shouldn't have named any gender at all and use any word as ''daughter''. - Lesson learned no difficult threads from me. - I apoligize if I offended people.
The kiss in Last of Us 2 was probably to set up Ellie going on a murder revenge tour throughout America.
But hopefully not!
Also that scene gave me the feeling that we might see Ellie even kissing more characters.
I mean, I also think the OP post is weird as hell but him getting banned without saying a word is kind of....harsh? It's been like hours too.

I feel like people deliberately ignored this post to justify dumping on this OP. The fact that I'm in the only one who even quoted this says a lot.
The female characters I'm playing can have sex as long as it suits the context
When she will find any love in the second game (if we get one) it has to be a well developed character which fits with her character.
I said I wouldn't be bothered if it was the male character having sex in Cyberpunk 2077, but also not clapped for him. It bothers me though to see Geralt having sex with all the women in the game and including our lady gamers clapping their hands when it comes to him. He is already a powerful male character he doesn't need to be like Kratos...
but when I see that my lady character is getting touched, intended or not intended I feel like ''Hey don't touch her''
or why do they need to be touched? With male characters this is not happening as it doesn't bother me till a degree.
I can't believe I actually sat and read that entire first post just to get to OP wanting to protect the purity of his virtual daughter.
As others said yes and baby Pac-man got their own game. A video game + pinball hybrid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Pac-Man

The whole "protect the purity of the female MC so the male players can dream about them and/or avoid feeling gay" trend is embarrassing and it blows my mind this thread is about embracing it instead of condemning it.
And OP, you know what you wrote. You repeatedly, explicitly said it would be fine with male characters but not female.
I did and I jumped around because it was a mess and missed this. Seeing the ban makes you skim. My bad.
I think the more important thing is his post on the last page. Good that he wasn't permabanned imo. Here it is:
Putting Gender to the side for the moment, I really just hate non-optional sex scenes in general.
The one in Wolfenstein for example, felt unessisary and made me uncomfortable. A sex scene isn't really what I want in my nazi killing game.
If you are gonna put sex scenes in a game, make it optional please Devs.
Woah dude, what's with the all out attack?My God. The puritanism and sexism in this thread is incredible. If you don't want to play games with non-optional sex scenes then don't play those games. Don't expect creators to cater to your prudish sesnibilities. Maybe just live life in as tiny of a bubble as you can if sex makes you uncomfortable.
I'll add that if sex makes you uncomfortable, but violence doesn't...you need to seek therapy now. That is textbook psychopathic behavior that needs to be addressed.
Woah dude, what's with the all out attack?
I just prefer to have a sense of consent in any sex scenes. "Just don't play games with non-optional sex scenes." There is NO way of knowing about the sex scene in Wolfenstein before hand. It's not the kind of game I would expect one in, so it felt forced to me.
I also don't appreciate being called a psychopath.

being sex-repulsed asexual is a thing, so i think you're being a bit harsh hereMy God. The puritanism and sexism in this thread is incredible.

a toggle on/off for any sex scenes could be a way to be more inclusive towards sex-repulsed people in your audience. not sure i think it's the way to go, but an argument could be made
i mean people do ask for more non-violent games. it's a topic i've broached myself a few times, since i'm concerned about how the glorification of guns in many games may contribute to gun fetish cultureMy point is the insane violence is what should make people uncomfortable and repulsed. Why not have an option then to toggle on and off the violence? Some people are uncomfortable with human interactions, so why not have an option to toggle on and off the dialogue? Some people are uncomfortable with nazi's and hitler (with really good reason), so why not have an option to toggle on and off the nazi's? Some people are uncomfortable with spousal abuse (as they should be), so why not complain that that scene is not optional? The point is, if the only part of this game you feel uncomfortable is one scene with two characters having consensual sex, then maybe there is actually nothing wrong with the game at all. At a certain point if every thing in every game that could potentially make someone uncomfortable or repulsed becomes optional, then what story are creators really allowed to tell?

yes there are a lot of different concerns different people can raise about different aspects of games? i don't see why people should be shouted down for raising an issue that concerns them just because also other issues exist simultaneously
people who make games are able to handle constructive criticism. they won't close down shop and exit the industry just because a few people politely request a toggle for something, which said developers can grant or ignore at their leisureI'm just saying, go play games without sex scenes if that makes you uncomfortable. Go play games without nazis if that makes you uncomfortable. Go play games without spousal abuse if that makes you uncomfortable. Go play games without violence if it makes you uncomfortable. All of those games are out there. Don't tell creators how they should tell their stories, because that makes me uncomfortable, and I wish I had a button that could toggle that shit off.

if it's completely impractical, the feedback will just be ignored. no big deal.I just don't understand the constructive part of telling a developer to make optional any part of their game that might offend someone or make them uncomfortable. I don't view that as constructive in any way because there is no way to ever implement it. I think "destructive" might be more the word you're looking for here.
I chose Kassandra on AC Odyssey just so I could fuck the entirety of Greece.
Women in games need to have their sexuality. And for themselves, not for the player.

it really does seem to me like you just can't handle when someone criticizes your favourite games and therefore make up a fantasy universe where such criticism will Change Gaming Forever. relax. it's ok. those developers don't need you to act as a shield from criticism.
sorry for the tone. you sounded a lot like the people who dismiss any critique of games through a social justice lens and it's just tiring to deal with the same bad arguments all the time.Since when is Wolfenstein my favorite game? Find me one post ever where I've claimed it to be. I don't even think they are particularly good games outside of a few story beats. That's a hell of an immature tone to bring to this argument though, so I think we're done here.

the point i was trying to make is that if an issue raised is inconsequential or dumb, it can be discussed or just ignored. but bringing it up doesn't hurt anyone. just shutting people up because they have a different background than you is not great. asexual people are, from my understanding, often minimized and dismissed. it may be better to listen to what they have to say than to dismiss people of an atypical sexuality as psychopaths
