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.
Itâs 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 itâs not kosher anymore was the formation of these Nancy Reagan type organisations of stay at home mothers screaming âwonât somebody think of the children!â 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 âgreat replacementâ on 4chan.
