Not everyone is a coomer who wants to revolve their life around sexuality.

You can acknowledge that sex exists without someone’s life revolving around it. Just like “wanting sex to be private” may not mean that someone is just terrified of the topic itself or thinks all sex is gross and should be avoided.

Just because people have different values than you doesn’t make it sad.

Some values become more of a target for criticism than others. “No one should make content that I don’t personally approve of” is one that I would categorize as worthy of criticism.

“No one should make content that I don’t personally approve of” is one that I would categorize as worthy of criticism.

Who said no one can make content if it has sex in it? People are just saying they don’t like it and everyone is sperging out about how children should see sexual content because they also see violence.

OP stated that only porn games should have any sexual content in them because his kids play video games.

She people aren’t kids should see sexual content, but that’s it’s weird to be against any kind of sexual content but not be bothered by violence.

Sex is so much different than violence. Sexuality is something is developed over the life of a person and can be heavily influenced by early exposure. Where violence isn’t spurred on by video games (unless you are one of the boomers complaining that video games cause violence) because shooting people isn’t a part of normal life.

So, your opinion is that any and all violent content is never a concern, and is appropriate for any age, even small children?

I have to say, that is not an opinion I’ve seen too often.

“So YoUr OpInIoN iS” shut up lol. I didn’t say that. I just said violence is much different than sexuality, and thats reflective of how society treats the two topics in media.

You stated that they are different, that sex is something serious and concerning, and that worrying about violence is something boomers do.

If you didn’t mean it to come of that way then I’m not sure why you worded it that way.
