The History of S*x in Gaming
Added 2023-01-25 20:09:41 +0000 UTCA big project that I’ve been working on for Gamespot just released, and I’m really proud of it, about Sex in Gaming. If you could head over and give it a watch and a nice comment (cause of course some of the comments are, not fun) I’d be so appreciative cause this video means a lot to me and it took a lot of work and fighting to get it out as it is. And I’m so incredibly proud of it!

In all my BG2 play-throughs I’d hack my character creation with a program so I could play as female but still romance the three women, Anomen was never a good choice. I will say that sex in BG2 was part of the romance that would potentially culminate (narrative-wise) in the expansion, and not the end point of the romance. All the games that I’ve played though that include romance are strictly mononormative even when finally breaking out of heteronormativity - in Dragon Age I had to actively make characters dislike me enough that I could continue flirting with several without having to “commit” to one specifically, which perpetuates another harmful view, ( exclusivity=commitment ) that marginalises and belittles non-monogamous relationships.

2023-01-29 03:25:29 +0000 UTCHeheh, it's kinda hilarious they made lewd Atari games, or tried to. (Gross some of the context with the apparent war-crimes Custer one, though.) A lot of stuff kinda blew by me unnoticed, I guess, which isn't unusual for me. I don't happen to get much out of visual porn, myself, so I was always wondering what the fuss was about with the greyfaced censors and all, but I suppose that also means I've never had reason to seek it out or anything. (Also don't get me wrong, I'm quite sex-positive, just usually from a distance. It's just not a visual experience for me so I never thought all that much of porn. Ironically, this was helpful as a photographer, cause people that wanted some boudoir photos and stuff knew I wasn't getting all revved up at em or anything.)

2023-01-27 16:04:35 +0000 UTCLove this! Didnt realise old video games were so raunchy😂
2023-01-26 11:01:27 +0000 UTCThanks so much it’s amazing. One thing which was not discussed is that he’s saying no male characters because no women playing. Even so, what about all the gay and bi guys playing ??

2023-01-26 05:30:31 +0000 UTCAnomen in Baldur's Gate was my first unexpected experience of romance in a video game. I had accidentally said all the right things and was caught completely off guard! Later I downloaded a mod that gives another romance option: Kelsey. I wound up finding him too "nice guy" and creepy and still went for Anomen.

2023-01-25 20:40:00 +0000 UTCAn amusing coincidence: the Latin word for six is sex.
