It is, apparently, always possible for there to be less clothing.
Oh no, Macie’s wife
Also my first thought
It stiles me as a bit absurd that we find simulated violence normal but simulated eroticism abnormal
That’s only because you are ignorant of how much of American values are based on puritanical lifestyle and regressive sensibilities
You can show all the heads exploding you want but god forbid some kid sees a boob
Oh I’m unfortunately quite familiar with repressed American values
Christian American values. There are plenty of us who have never and will not ever drink the Kool-Aid.
Iirc George R.R. Martin has a similar reaction when people complained about the amount of sex in Game of Thrones. A telegraph article that immediately asked me to login said that he was
always astonished that there’s always so much more controversy about the sex than about the violence," and that this reaction “says something about us that isn’t necessarily a good thing to say”
There’s something to be said about sex scenes being shown. It’s an entire different thing when literal assault scenes are shown and the onus is always on the female victims and their torture. The perpetrators are never shown as the perpetrators they are. Not even mentioning how much assault is used as a driving factor for these female characters’ character development.
Oh that I fully agree with. I believe in this particular case he wasn’t talking about complaints of sexual violence, but just sex in general. I personally have a huge aversion to media depicting sexual assault, and I avoid watching most shows that have it, even if it’s “important for the story” or “it’s really good despite that”.
Since I like anime/manga a lot, I’ll use examples there, but I won’t watch/read Berserk, Goblin Slayer, and DanDanDan, and I have a huge issue with how Rose is treated by the original Full Metal Alchemist anime series. The last especially because it wasn’t by the original author making the choice, by tv execs deciding it made better drama or something. There are lots of other reasons I prefer Brotherhood over the first anime, but the rape of Rose is definitely a significant one.
Weatern media is a bit harder for me to pull out examples I would have maybe watched but avoided because of this, but I guess I probably won’t ever watch A Clockwork Orange and I didn’t feel like watching Jessica Jones for those reasons. I’ve never followed Game of Thrones deeply either, so until looking up this quote I wasn’t quite aware sexual violence played a role( I think I suspected it, but heard more about red wedding etc). I was putting off watching it then everyones reaction to the last season dropped my interest, so I can’t claim sexual violence was the reason I haven’t seen it.
I just think it’s a little strange to hear complaints about hypocrisy like this coming from an author that deliberately uses SA as a plot point - that’s all I was trying to point out.
Oh yea, as a huge soulslike fan, I would really like to know about Berserk so see where Miyazaki pulled a lot of his inspiration from, but I won’t ever watch or read it because of the SA it includes. Just not interested.
Even my favourite anime, Samurai Champloo, uses SA or involuntary sexual advances as plot points, which I didn’t really grasp back when I was around 13ish years old, and was shocked to see when I tried to rewatch the show with my SO. It’s a little perverse to see just how much this is used as a plot device when it’s not unnecessary. Anime is full of it for some reason. It might be a cultural thing because Japanese people are sexually very closed off, from what I’ve heard, so they include such themes in anime and in porn. But yea - not for me, please.
Recently started watching Breaking Bad for the first time, and I was just shocked seeing that scene in the first season where Walt tries to force himself onto Skyler when he tries to hide his shadiness. Fortunately, not a lot happens there and she snaps back immediately, but come on dude - really??? Nothing like this happens again in the following seasons, currently around the end of season 3, so I’m just sitting there wondering what the point was. Was it just shock value? Because it didn’t add anything of value otherwise than to see that Walt is becoming more and more immoral and shady in his business, but there would have been so many other ways to show that apart from SA. I don’t know, man.
I think it’s a touchy subject for me in general, and I won’t ever tolerate seeing it in media. I don’t even know if there’s a case to be had about SA being used as a “sensible” plot line, but even if there were, I wouldn’t be able to see past my absolute aversion and disgust I feel over seeing that.
I think American Horror Story would be a good Western example. I watched each season until the first episode of Hotel. It contained a scene of sexual violence brutal enough for me and my significant other to agree to quit the show. While discussing it we realized ALL seasons contained episodes featuring sexual violence.

It’s because you cannot under normal circumstances engage in a killing spree but most can get laid if they have previously put in effort.
This still assumes both are equal in both motive and morality.
Sex is just better than violence in all respects (except when combined, yuck).
Both combined is perfectly fine when both (or all involved) people specifically want it. It can be a lot of fun as long as youre being safe.
Yes! Exactly! And you also have to both know and trust each others limits. If you offer for your partner to spank you, and you’re expecting a light little funishment, but they go full ham, and blister and bruise your ass, you’re both going to have a bad time.
But if you both know and expect similiar ideas, and thats whats engaged in, respecting limits, and respecting consent, and respecting bountries, it can be a lot of fun.
Do you even realize how much effort would be needed to make a race of sex-crazed anthros IRL? If it was easy, it would have been done already.
Genetic engineering is still in its infancy.
Mate demand with time, and one tends to get supply.
EDIT: In the news, a couple months ago:
Dallas-based biotech company Colossal has announced the birth of three pups bearing the DNA signatures of dire wolves, an iconic predator last seen roaming North America over 10,000 years ago.
But in the end, it’s not about whether we can bring back the dead. It’s about what we do with the power to remake the living.
I’m not sure that’s it - there are plenty of very successful games that simulate activities requiring less effort than getting laid.
Power washing simulator has entered the chat
Power washing simulator nude mod when
It’s too bad I will not be playing it since the game has Denovo.
The majority are, well, what you expect: various ways to make Eve and other women in the game various levels of nude (with the most popular level being ‘fully’). Someone did put her in an apron, though, which I suppose leaves something to the imagination. There are also a lot of main menu replacers that just put hardcore smut of one variety or another right there on the home screen, if that’s your bag.
Now. Look. I have no issue with what adults do in the privacy of their own home. If you want to turn your copy of any game into an overstimulating carnival of omnipresent erotic delights, please do so with my blessing. But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.
Up next, a reaction video of Joshua Wolens as we expose him to progressively more-intense degrees of the Skyrim mod library.
Yeah I’ve never been the same since I found out about the mod that gives every woman in Skyrim their own tracked menstrual cycle - with added pregnancy and fluctuating fertility throughout the cycle.
From what I understand, the mod author also worked for compatibility with as many sex mods as possible.
Skyrim Nexus is a dark place…
I don’t think he was asking for more details with that reaction photo
I think I was sharing them with that comment
Wow, that’s terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I’m definitely going to avoid and not go check out.
There are a number of increasingly-sophisticated Skyrim impregnation frameworks, but I would guess that he’s talking about Fertility Mode.
Skyrim Nexus is a dark place…
I’d call it the second-most-restrictive “tier” of Skyrim mod site after Bethesda’s official mod site.
Look at LoversLab, which is more permissive.
And there are Skyrim mod sites that carry content that LoversLab won’t permit.
Just what kind of content would loverslab ban? Really having a hard time imagining
LoversLab is where I got my Monster Hunter World - Dragon Genitals mod and it was AMAZING
Real Skyrim modder right here. I shudder to think what LoversLab might ban.
Skyrim Nexus is a dark place…
I don’t know, this sounds more like a Loverslab kind of thing…
If he’s talking about Fertility Mode, that’s also on Nexus.
I tried that mod (or similar) once where you could impregnate NPCs. Good thing my guy was super rich and owned a ton of real-estate, because he had like 20 kids by the end.
Skyrim child support laws are actually pretty awful, the guards will at best fine you less than the support you owe
“Can I pay my child support in cheese wheels?”
But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.
It must be the author’s first day on the internet.
If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.
I’d hate to have to go back to lingerie catalogues, especially since Sears went out of business :(
porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves
Nah, dude, immediately back to sneakernet. But way more porn now.
I’m shocked that the game I know nothing about except how people were drooling over the character has smut mods. Shocked I tell you.
That title was written by The 700 Club.
What’s the 700 club?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_700_Club
The 700 Club is the flagship television program of the Christian Broadcasting Network, airing each weekday in syndication in the United States and available worldwide on CBN.com.
Not to be confused with The 300 Club.
Can I get an Amen Ken?
I don’t get the appeal. Porn is free on the internet and everywhere.
The vast vast majority of porn is either completely contextless or any just plain trash. People prefer porn when they have some kind of connection to a character with actual personality.
Also these mods are also porn, free, and on the internet.
But is it interactive?
Also I’m sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn’t originally smut.
Porn games are a thing
They usually kind of suck though
There’s definitely some pretty good ones out there. It’s difficult to wade through the trash, though. Especially now that 90% are AI generated cuckold simulators.
god I wish
Weird kink, but we support you xo
It’s why I bought House Party. I don’t give a shit about the social deduction aspect (although I do want to actually play the game at some point), I just like that I can use console commands to make everyone walk around naked and have an orgy.
Stellar blade was always smut lol. What are you talking about?
As are these mods.
Also you need two hands to play. Do they just like to play aroused for hours?
This article was pretty funny. I loved the writing style
As for the subject matter, I have never understood these mods. When I was young I gave them a try in Skyrim but I remember it just being distracting. It feels like multitasking: I’m doing two things half as good. I really don’t see the point.
So that being said, I would love it if they had metrics on how long the mod stayed installed and how far into the game the player made it. Impossible, surely, but it would really clear up for me whether people are genuinely playing the game or whether they’re installing for a level and… Ahem… Moving on to another activity
I put genitals on all my monsters in Monster Hunter. I derived no sexual pleasure from it, I just loved that it was a thing.
“Goon on, gooners. Let no one dim your sparkle.”
Wasn’t planning on reading since I don’t care about Stellar Blade but thanks for the heads up. Article is hilarious.
Just a small note, you forgot to include quotes in your comment. Didn’t realize you were quoting the article until I read it.
Problem is that you need to pair them with a sex mod complete with custom animations.
Isn’t that kinda half of the point of Stellar Blade? Let the pervs perv to pixels. It’s better than creepshotting girls on the street.
Stellar Blade without gyatt is like Doom without edge, or TF2 without Australian references. It’s the heart and soul of the game.
I mean I liked the gameplay… And the music. Was like baby’s first souls like. I normally suck and don’t the time to practice in actual souls games so it was nice to have some bit of challenge but not to the degree of souls games.
The music was okay, but needed more tracks badly.
You liked the difficulty because it wasn’t a Souls-like.
Like God of War 2016, it was an action RPG with a higher difficulty curve than button mashing… On hard.
Honestly refreshing to have another series that doesn’t think wasting my time is a cool mechanic
Exactly and I played (and enjoyed) that too!
…wait… you said it needed more tracks? Did we play the same game? Check out how many songs are in the official OST. It’s 189. 😧
Lies, deception.
Real talk, a lot of the tracks sound basically the same, and you spend so much time in the open world parts listening to songs where the lyrics are like three repeated lines. Then you don’t notice when it ends because it otherwise sounds exactly the same as the others, goof around for thirty minutes until you hear those lyrics again and go “oh this song again”
It’s not bad, per se, I just don’t understand why people think it’s such a noteworthy part of the game.
And yeah, some of the boss themes slap but then you shoot them in the face until they die and it’s over.🤷♂️
All that said, I’m also not a music guy so maybe I just don’t appreciate them properly.
I will agree a lot of them are the same track but a different rendition like how the Xion theme changes throughout the game
I think Everglow (the one from the trailer) is my favorite
checks Nexusmods
What? It’s just Raven and Tachi conversions mods as most downloa–
Logs in
OH MY GOODNESS…!!
good lord theres penice
What a beautiful title.
Is the game with getting for the horny mods?
I kind of feel like you should just watch some regular gameplay videos because their normal outfits are what most horny mods aim to add.
