Violence is apparently better for children than two gay men.

KvP:
It's still meaningless, as far as I'm concerned. This has come up on a number of different forums that I frequent, and the common thread seems to be the sentiment of the OP, which is "our culture (in the US) stresses that destruction of life is "better" than sex (the potential creation of life)." which may be true, but this poll doesn't tell us anything about that. It's a cross section of a cross section of the population. Maybe if it was a formal poll with detailed procedures and the like I'd be more receptive to it. But as it stands I just find it to be alarmist internets crap. Conservatives can go apeshit over the content of some stupid game, and liberals can go apeshit over the conservatives going apeshit.

I tried to go the gae route in Jade Empire once, actually, because I didn't believe they'd actually put it in. It's harder than you'd expect, since the way that game's "romance" crap worked was in a queue. Dawn Star is #1, Jade Fox is #2, Whatshisface is #3. In order to be gae with Whatshisface you have to make sure you spurn #s 1 and 2 as quickly as possible.

^ Like going on a date with Barret in FF7. To do it, you basically have to be as big as asshole as possible to Tifa and Aeris.

Of course, in Bully, you can just make out with dudes. The only difference between dudes and ladies is you can't make out with any ol' dude, only certain cuter ones.

I wonder if boyfriends might be in GTA4...

imapiratearg:
Fable!  You can marry dudes!  But they don't show kissing, or sexings.

I heard the Brokeback Mountain video game has a little gay sex in it.

But mostly people play it for the horseback riding minigames.

^No way!

If you didn't bother to read the article from the poll, there's a quite scary quote on the bottom. The one where the womans says "But there's no, you know, people having relations in it, is there?"

I guess this means that the woman would rather have her 12-year old child see the violence from the average WW2-FPS than the rather none-graphic sex from the Sims. And that's scary. And really old fashioned, I guess. Poor child.
