America’s prudishness is so weird. I guess it comes from how much more Christian it is than any other Western nation.

[u/Tsansome → u/DrDMango]

Turns out if your country is founded by an ultra-orthodox group of religious nutters whose entire identity is based on a rejection of fun you end up with:

• 50% of the population being religious nut jobs terrified of any kind of pleasure

• 50% of the population being total hedonists who identify themselves based on their rejection of the other 50%

While both sides suck, turns out it’s a bit more annoying when group A is always in charge.

[u/a-sad-dev → u/Orion7734]

Yeah we put most of our religious nuts on a boat like 400 years ago and shipped them off to the new world. Wonder how they got on...

[u/bshootingu → u/a-sad-dev]

They literally left to get away from you, interesting historical revision my dude. Do the American revolution next!

[u/HDpotato → u/bshootingu]

yeah they left... because the brits weren't puritanical enough for them...

that's worse than being put on the boat, so whatever you feel comfortable telling yourself

[u/bshootingu → u/HDpotato]

Leaving of your own volition is worse than being forced? You sure about that champ?

[u/hussainhssn → u/KairoFan]

Yeah that’s what happens when you have slaves that you force to do work and oceans separating you from the consequences of your actions. Anyone not succeeding in that circumstance is actually retarded.

[u/Noke_swog → u/hussainhssn]

Damn if it was that easy why didn’t everyone else do it

[u/Jolly-Garbage-7458 → u/Noke_swog]

To answer your question for everyone else reading, most powerful countries at the time did have some form of slaves but obviously that wasn't the only factor in the growth of the United States. I'm very interested in the other users answer though, I know it's gonna be some bullshit.

[u/Significant-Pay4621 → u/a-sad-dev]

And then imported millions of fanatical Muslims. Seems like you are OK with religious nuts if their skin is a few shades darker than your own.

Ah britbong detected opinion rejected. TYFS

[u/FuckRedditIsLame → u/Tsansome]

It's funny, but I think religiousness is kind of wired into American culture so deeply that even the secular movements take on a religious quality - American liberalism for example, is absolutely a religion for those who don't go to church, it's got this severe orthodox aspect to it where the faithful feel empowered to see the heretic as subhuman, and the tenets of this faith are spread to every corner of the earth. There are other examples too, but that one pops out in particular.

[u/ConductorBeluga → u/FuckRedditIsLame]

This constant comparison of religion to literally everything else is so boring. Belief in liberalism and democracy is obviously far different from religious belief. In a liberal society, anti-liberal people are allowed to exist. We don't execute fascists and commies anymore. People are allowed to criticize our system which is why liberalism is great.

"the faithful feel empowered to see the heretic as subhuman, and the tenets of this faith are spread to every corner of the earth."

Yeah this is just terrible, edgy framing. Sounds like every kid I went to liberal arts school with.

The only people I know who go to church are minorities. The fuck are you talking about? Have you even been to the US?

[u/DrDMango → u/LoveYourKitty]

Are you implying minorities aren’t an important part of American culture? Cause they are…

[u/LoveYourKitty → u/DrDMango]

I am a minority. I'm implying that the USA isn't the evangelical "christofascist" hell scape that European redditors like to pretend it is.

[u/DrDMango → u/LoveYourKitty]

Oh. Yeah I agree.

And you know the truth eh? Gonna tell us all about George Soros and adrenochrome are ya? Maybe sprinkle in some references to Hyperborea?

Fuckin dweeb

[u/FuckRedditIsLame → u/Tsansome]

No. The truth is simply that these are rootless, diluted people, and they act accordingly, as they proudly list the racial fractions of their families: "Oh, I'm half German, 1/16th Cherokee, also with some Scottish and French lineage!"

I can get a localized version of any food I want in the world, I can socialize with and fuck around with people of every world culture and ethnicity in any major urban area, and best of all I almost never have to be subjected to listen to any British accents. Our culture is Western multiculturalism and everyone loves it and wants to move here all the time. Stay mad bonger

“Ultra-orthodox” lmao

Not all Protestants reject fun. Anglicans and Methodists don’t hate fun.

[u/Tsansome → u/TurkeysCanBeRed]

I mean the Puritans who founded the initial colonies were ultra orthodox which was my point.

They literally didn’t even celebrate Christmas because it was too fun. Their Christmas was an entire day of prayer and apologising for sins.

But sure Anglicans seem chill and Methodists are a’ight. I’ve always been partial to quakers, myself. They seem like good eggs.

[u/luckac69 → u/Tsansome]

Well for some reason, it’s the non religious types who are the most against the sexuality.

The religious types are too, but I’d say to the same extent they are against violence. So they at least make sense

[u/throwaway3point4 → u/Tsansome]

As much as I don't like Protestantism, it's not really fair to pin the blame on them. It usually isn't their faults. Governments and legislative bodies use the complaints of one or two individuals to justify blanket/overarching legislative action, which is often done for the purpose of some kind of less-admirable reason.

That reason can vary from simple and non-conspiratorial, "We're too fucking lazy to deal with any possible future bitching and moaning about this topic so we're just going to nip this whole ordeal in the bud" (gonna be real, this is me assuming the laziest outcome. not even sure if it's realistic), to more agenda-driven purposes such as "I've/We've wanted a justification for prohibiting this and this whining person gave it to us, now I'll/we'll blow it out of proportion and make it illegal", or "Someone promised money if I passed this piece of legislation, so I'll try and find an individual to justify passing it", and so on; you get the idea.

Is it true that the individuals who are used in order to justify this legislation might be Protestant, or even might mostly be Protestants? Yeah, probably. These issues are then typically politicized afterwards, so that you feel like you have to align yourself with them if you're of X belief or Y political leaning, so what happens is that, even afterwards, it's likely that a lot of people who initially didn't agree with it were gaslit into agreeing with the legislation.

But this happens with every problem. Gay rights activists (including Lesbians here) used to disagree vehemently with lots of legislation around transgenderism, but then they were thrown into the mix with the catch-all term of "LGBTQ+"; suddenly, if you disagree with the hyper-progressivism of the LGBTQ+ movement - even if you, yourself, are a progressive - you are considered a "fundamentalist", or "traditionalist", or "conservative" or whatever other synonym that fits here idfk. Point is, it goes both ways; sometimes it's for making things illegal, and sometimes, it's for legalizing that which should've remained illegal. Same goes for turning something into a social issue when it shouldn't be one, or for downplaying a social issue which should be broadcasted more.

Which is all to say, it's not the case that "Group A is in charge". It's more that Group A has the semblance of being in charge, when the reality is that they're just a fabricated social group that doesn't actually exist in individual parts, but only exists as a whole for the purpose of being used as a scapegoat for criticism against legislators and government entities, when it is actually the case that they are responsible for the legislation which passes. Group A changes from "religious fundamentalists" into "LGBTQ+ progressives" when legalization is in question, changes to "the scientific community" when medical/health legislation is involved, changes to "manufacturers and entrepreneurs/companies/businessmen" when terms of service, technology, and the right to repair are involved, and so on, so forth. There's always a group out there ready for legislators to pick from in order to justify the next law they want passed.

And the same happens for social issues, of course, as I alluded to before. I won't go rambling on about that; I'm sure anyone who read all the above can get the picture at this point.

[u/Tsansome → u/throwaway3point4]

Tl;dr

[u/throwaway3point4 → u/Tsansome]

Legislative bodies use individual people within large groups in order to justify passing legislation. The legislation is then politicized (typically by media) and the groups, as a whole, are gaslit into accepting it (small aside: this is called "manufactured consent" in politics) and aligning themselves to it. Sometimes this is done for political reasons, some for deeper politics/conspiratorial reasons, some simply for money, some just because the legislators are lazy (though that's probably giving too much benefit of doubt). So while it is the case that they're sometimes gaslit into agreeing or aligning themselves with the policies and/or legislation, they're simultaneously being used as scapegoats. The real danger, imo, is when the group, en masse, actually changes their minds to agree wholesale to the societal aspects of this gaslighting (I think the LGBTQ+ progressives are probably the most worrisome).

also a literal chatgpt summary:

Governments often use the complaints of one or two individuals to justify broad legislative actions, typically for self-serving or agenda-driven reasons. These reasons range from laziness to political or financial motivations. Groups like Protestants or LGBTQ+ activists are politicized and used as scapegoats to justify laws. In reality, these groups are not in charge; they are manipulated by legislators to support or oppose specific issues. This pattern occurs across various topics, from social issues to legislation on technology or healthcare.

You'd have to go back a long time to find actual religious people in charge rather than baby blood drinking hedonists who occasionally pretend to be religious such as we have now.

[u/Tsansome → u/trainderail88]

If you genuinely believe there’s a sinister cabal of blood drinking overlords you have mental illness.

You have a sinister cabal of overlords who run your existence anyway, they’re the oligarch class. I don’t know why you have to invent this whole ‘tHeY dRiNk mUh BaBiEs bLuD’

[u/trainderail88 → u/Tsansome]

Do I think people in power stand in a dark room around a chalice of baby blood while chanting to moloch? No.

Do I think geriatric politicians desperate to cling to power would take a serum derived from infant stem cells? Yes.

Quite frankly, if you don't think rich and powerful people would stoop to those levels for chance to prolong their lives you're naive. There's even a tech milionaire named bryan Johnson who proudly and openly uses his sons blood to try and stay young.

You even agree there's a sinister cabal of oligarchs, so I don't understand why the idea of them using even ghoulish methods to stay in power is a logical bridge too far for you.

[u/Tsansome → u/trainderail88]

Because the idea of infant stem cells being some holy grail of immortality is fucking idiotic.

Literally even the most basic understanding of stem cells would kill this idea.

Does Klaus Schwab make you dress like a character in the fifth element too, or do you only have to tickle his fupa with mustache?

If you’d commented on my big Greek nose then maybe my eye might have twitched a tiny bit, but the fupa tickling moustache? Nothing but assuredness there mate.

[u/Croc_Chop → u/Tsansome]

You're both arguing with each other while wanting the same thing.

From what I can see from both of your comments is that yeah Theres a bunch of Rich fucksticks trying to make your life worse to make theirs better even when they don't really need it.

[u/Timpstar → u/Tsansome]

Yeah the difference, nobody tries to stop them from living a life free of "hedonistic" pleasures; they are more than welcome to abstain from tobacco, alcohol, casual sex and whatnot.

But then when you turn it around there is always pressure from fundies to ban/ostracize stuff that deviates from their percieved "correct" way of living.

I think being religious and firm in your beliefs is based. But whenever your beliefs make you want to restrict others personal freedoms you become a loser instead.

Especially in entertainment or the rating agencies for what gets advertised. I wonder which foreign powers/ideologies have HEAVY laws against what can be shown to their populace.

[u/DrDMango → u/TheHornySnake]

Bro I’m sorry but this comment says more about you than anybody else. Fictional sex is equally as fictional as fictional violence for most.

grown "men"

talks about coomers who shit themselves at the sight of a woman with less than double-D's in their slop media.

They are in the absolute minority, along with the other side of this "culture war". We're talking about a couple of thousands of people among millions who actually participate in it wholeheartedly; the rest don't give a shit and play games that are good/marketed well.

[u/RevanchistSheev66 → u/Timpstar]

[u/Never-Preorder]

It's not only america though, globally violence is somewhat acceptable while sexuality is a taboo in video games. It is also just in video games, in most other occasion sex is more acceptable (a teenager watching porn is not a big deal, yet watching war footage and cartel executions sounds concerning)

As for why it is like that, my theory is that video games are still widely regarded as a "entertainment for kids and teenagers" and sexuality in games would be immoral. Violence also took a lot of hits during "video games are too violent it hurts our kids brain making them sociopaths" wave, but it become forgotten as more video games have been made and violent video game pool became diluted and more and more adults started playing video games.

[u/Tsansome → u/Never-Preorder]

It’s like no one here is old enough to remember when porn and games intermingling was fine.

I remember banging BMX XXX and unlocking footage from random New York strip clubs. Shit was off the hook for a 13 year old kid.

A lot of the reason it’s not kosher anymore was the formation of these Nancy Reagan type organisations of stay at home mothers screaming “won’t somebody think of the children!” because they had nothing else to do except drink vino and blast Valium.

Edit: bro definitely whacks off to censored porn and black dicks then posts about ‘great replacement’ on 4chan.

Murder and mayhem are part of the greater plan. You have been included in this greater plan. Training and desensitising is good.

Sexy time is not part of the plan unless it's busy life, and for that, you've got bambi sleep.

[u/isuxirl]

Aren't the Chinese even more prudish than Americans?

[u/LoveYourKitty]

Is this sub being AstroTurfed? Poster is not American and only posts unintelligible anti-American spam.

The green text doesn't even make sense, there are tons of games that display sex and nudity.

[u/automatic_shark]

Only one of those is allowed in schools. It ain't sex

[u/axelkoffel]

I think it's just an adaptation of movie standards. Gore in movies is (almost) always fake. Nudity in movies is (almost) always real. So nudity has been the bigger taboo, because actors do actually show their own bodies.
It doesn't make much sens in games tho, where everything is fake. But it is what it is. Then there's also sex, but that part has always been wierd to me in games that do it (Dragon Age: Origins, Baldur's Gate 3). Two ragdoll bodies doing the moves, except they can't really touch each other, so textures won't overlap.

[u/send_ASMR]

What a genuinely, deeply retarded post. The type of person concerned with sex in media wouldn't like this either.

[u/Mineral_Water18]

This shit must hit different if you have room temperature iq.

A game like this has a rating forbid it from being sold to anyone below 18

There are porn games that you can sell to people above the age of 18

Wtf is this dude talking about? How is one "fine" and the other one isn't?

[u/bensisnss → u/Mineral_Water18]

You wanna read that one again chief?

[u/Mineral_Water18 → u/bensisnss]

Am I missing something or is my comment unclear? My point is that violent and sexual content are held to the same level as scrutiny and one isn't necessarily allowed while the other one isn't.

What was the point the original post tryna make?

[u/bensisnss → u/Mineral_Water18]

no they aren't, a rape scene is not gonna be as acceptable by an audience as a murder scene and you know that

[u/Expensive-Many9705]

I would rather have the violence.

[u/MasterYargle]

Unrelated, but it’s crazy how dogshit porn games are lol . Take one look on steam, and it’s like you got transported back 30 years

[u/Ill_Guess1549]

violence is a method sex is the reward.

violent video games are a training tool.

>Be immature society living in the internet

>Be afraid to spell s*x

I remember the days when the internets were a pure chaos

[u/SouthAggressive6936]

I like America, I think Americans should fuck more and make more Americans.

[u/keeleon]

This game is rated M. If you can play this you can watch whatever porno you want. I'm not sure what your point is.

[u/VidyaGameBoy]

Looks like sex to me.

Change yourself, not the system.

[u/hiimkir]

sex, unlike gore, is disgusting and savage

[u/Hoz85]

Let me tell you what Murica told me about freedom:

1. It's not free.

2. Cry is free.

3. Profit.

[u/QuESt115]

Videogames used to have a lot of tits and fucking. God of war 1-3, Dante’s inferno, max Payne 3. It’s gotten more prudish in recent years tho

[u/WeTheNinjas]

In America the depicted scene also happens in schools!

[u/LandoChon]

What game is this?

[u/tacobellbandit]

What does this have to do with America?

[u/WOMMART-IS-RASIS → u/tacobellbandit]

redditoids think that every country besides america is just a 24/7 orgy in public, apparently

[u/CaesarsArmpits]

What game is this? Metro or something?

[u/Salaino0606]

How else are you gonna try keeping the birthrate low and school shootings high?

I mean there’s plenty of people that don’t think this is fine either

[u/philmarcracken]

Theres little sympathetic reaction in children to violence, unlike sexual themes they're not prepared for. Hell most adults get squeamish around the topic of teaching sex to kids, because they barely understand the reasons behind reproduction in that fashion

[u/G14DMFURL0L1Y401TR4P → u/philmarcracken]

That's some puritan murican take if I've ever seen one. Children have a much more visceral reaction to seeing gore than they do to seeing sexual themes they often don't even understand what's happening in.

[u/philmarcracken → u/G14DMFURL0L1Y401TR4P]

Children have a much more visceral reaction to seeing gore than they do to seeing sexual themes they often don't even understand what's happening in.

They don't, and porn exists purely on the basis that one is much stronger than the other.

[u/TheSgLeader]

It already does make sense. Degenerate.

[u/2-inches-of-fail]

We have 8 billion people on the planet and rising. Need to keep the death rate high and the birth rate low.

[u/Glitzarka]

conservatives don't like hot girls or penises with including balls

[u/TwumpyWumpy → u/Glitzarka]

with including
