our culture is much more accepting of violence than of nudity because of where we come from. In the victorian age, western culture dominated the rest of the world, often through warfare, but forced sexualism to be a huge taboo topic. Also, because conflict, and by extension violence, defines our entire existance, sex/nudity only defines one important aspect of it. Still i agree and had almost this exact rant when i was playing dragon age, WHERE YOU GET COVERED IN TEH GORE OF YOUR ENEMIES, BUT CAN'T SHOW A LITTLE NUDITY?
I just beat Heavy Rain, and without any spoilers, my story led to a sex scene that wasn't just thrown in for giggles or for 12 year olds to finally see a breast, but it was actually a part of the development of the characters that a hug or handshake wouldn't convey.
So nudity doesn't always have to be graphic exploitation..it can be like it was hundreds of years ago, when it was considered beautiful and natural.

I felt the same way about the scene in the first Mass Effect. Tastfully done and part of the character development. But then Bioware just had to give in to the media and made it worse in the sequel.claw38 said:
Well, I was trying to maybe encourage someone get the banhammer by posting something with some cleavage, but all I get is a british accent. ROFLstukov961 said:
Well played. This is The Escapist forums alright.
You know I do agree with you to a point. But keeping it hidden, of course people want to know what it is. Then take it as a 'doing the unspeakable acts' type thing. Feel as they have accomplished something that is secret. But on the otherhand, if they kinda go into it dimly or get hooked at a young age it might be harder to break them out of a bad habit if one arisesstukov961 said:
As for the alcohol I can testify that it works, I have had very little interest in alcohol even before reaching legal drinking age. SO assuming logic works on this, the same principle should apply to nudity/sex too.Kuchinawa212 said:
Im kinda torn about this subject. I like female nudity, but in games like Devil May Cry 4 I dont like playing because its on a huge tv screen. Maybe if they had psp games that had nudity in them I can give an honest opinion but I cant.
80% of the swedish population are atheists, including me, so yeah...Mr.Squishy said:
Besides, religious questions don't belong in the "gaming discussion" section
Interestingly enough, this is due to the values of society, which are still firmly based in the Victorian age, where it was perfectly acceptable to teach someone under the age of 18 to blow a native's head clean off with a maxim gun, but any display of sexuality was not to be discussed, period.
Prove me wrong, find one of these right wing nutjobs who'd think it's more acceptable to show a kid a "terrorist" being brutally murdered than a woman undressed. This isn't a challenge, it's a plee. I'd direly like to know I'm wrong, but for all I've seen, I have a feeling this isn't going to happen =(

How about on the news, when we see the scene of he latest terrorist attack, complete with a severed arm draped over a lamppost? Or the football game where a linebacker gets stepped on the wrong way and suddenly has a leg bone poking out of his skin? Or in car racing, where we are routinely treated to horrendous car crashes some of which result in the deaths of drivers? Such scenarios are rare, but they do happen, and there's never a hue and cry like there was for 2/3 of second of Janet's nipple.Furious Styles said:

Yea, In the US we got dumbasses who say its inapropriate to display nudity on games but not when it comes to television, people in other countries are way more leniant.Shirokurou said:
