my god they finally announced it

[Nexus]

the sex update.

[Weaselly]

I heard the meme.
"No shot"
I saw the teaser image.
"Actually yeah probably"

[Anthracite]

I feel genuinely sickened by the thought of this update to be quite honest. This game is rated teen, meaning there are 13 year olds (and probably younger) playing CotL. I hope to god it's just a silly naked bums update that is optional cos I am not remotely comfortable on a personal level and for those children to be exposed to sexual content none of us signed up for.

So we're okay with displaying a romanticised version of the crusades, and all the violence that came with public executions and religious invasions, but nudity, which just so happens to be the default state for 100% of all animals is still a no-no?

I think there's something seriously wrong with our moral code.

I said "sexual content", not "nudity", learn to read, please. No kid's cartoon has sex in it, but plenty have cartoon violence.

Note that the devs even called all of that on the very store page as "Cartoon Violence" which falls in line with a T rating!

I mostly meant society's view on what's appropriate and what's not. It seems funny to me that violence is deemed more acceptable than sexual content.

Learn to not be a condescending ♥♥♥♥, please. Either way, my point stands. Violence should be considered abhorrent, even in cartoon form, but nudity and sexual content shouldn't. The former is explicitly based around the harm of an individual or group, while the latter is just a part of life everyone gets to learn anyway.
Why are we sheltering kids from sex while openly exposing them to violence?

[Anthracite]

You and me both know why sexual content is worse online for kids than game violence is, especially since the devs haven't ruled out multiplayer.

this game has literal cannibalism (with cannibalism perks) but this line's the line you're not willing to cross? i can talk to a guy and then serve him as meatloaf five minutes later but oh no, not this

it has a higher age rating than the sims

The sims has had woohooing (to death even) for years, minecraft and pokemon both feature game-ified animal breeding in more child friendly multiplayer games without rampant abuse. fallout shelter was released to apple and switch under a t rating with literal human breeding.

no reason to assume it'll be all that graphic or suggestive compared to above examples so i don't see any reason other than prudishness to sound the alarm at this in particular, especially when we have nothing to go off other than a single teaser for a future update (for a game that features cannibalism and sacrifice already.)

Sims age rating is also 13 and it has sexual content in it.

And there are much worse things you can already do in CotL than just woohoo your cultists.

Also you are jumping to conclusions like rest of people who saw the teaser art.

Hello! Here to soothe some worries. 'Sex Update' has become a bit of a meme in the community, one that a lot are really running with! But we have made sure all the new content (which is much more than what the keyart suggests) adheres to guidelines so the age rating should not change. No one is forced to participate in any of the cheekier stuff as depicted in the art either, so if it is something you would rather avoid, that is entirely something you can do!

There will be no explicit nudity, what you see in the art will be the most you get! :)

[avil]

Well, okay, even devs made a comment on their rating guidlines for new update, so that's an actual sex update and not people just going crazy over a random meme.

Hey! Just to chip in here - the age rating for Cult of the Lamb will hopefully not change even with the additions of this update, we've gone through all aspects of the new content and made sure it adhered to the guidelines for the current rating. If you prefer not to play with certain aspects of the update, you will not be forced to.

Will it... "come" with a Hard Mode?

I'm sorry, I just had to do it.

I was talking more about the worries around nudity, which could be implied by the art. It's a cult depth update which includes more cult structures, story, lore, things to do and unlock, etc
