Why people tend to sexualize this game so much?
I've been looking for mods on nexus for quite a while, been digging through fanart, and i keep seeing it.
Hell, there's even a mod on Nexus that turns camping into a Sexy Time for crying out loud.
I am not against such thing, don't get me wrong.
I just can't understand while people even have such things flowing through their minds while playing this.
This game's setting is just not suited for this. It's all about pain and suffering, madness and torment, and overall eldritch abomination shenanigans. It just doesn't work in my eyes.
I can understand many things, but i can not understand THIS.
I just want to know, why and how.

Human males especially in their young age do like to look at erotic things and there is absolutely nothing wrong and harmful with that and any one telling you otherwise is an ideological idiot, because no actual doctor would tell you there is something wrong with your son because he likes to watch risque images.

In fact if you look at art from the classical times you will see countless of paintings with tits and statues that are quite revealing.

In this particular case there are mods that make the game more sexualized for people who prefer seeing that in the art
And if you are not one of those people you don't have to download the mod
Choice is something that the feminists and the religious tried to rob people away from.
There should only be one type of art, the art that they like, and anything else is considered haram sinful or problematic

Way to bring your own biases into the discussion.

Hmm.. could see this could led into some deep meta psychological discussion....

But IMO, in short, is that there is a Brothal in game, as well as few other sexual-related quirks. This acknowledge "sex-in-game", which lead to people imagination of what else could be going on in game.

Also... well.. fan art are fan arts. And don't ever look up My Little Pony rule 34.............

Healthy straight male sexualities like banging around corpses of pig men and testicle faced fish spear warriros? I don't even think OP was influenced by sarkesian, I know YOU are pissed off at social pablum like that but if you could keep that to your own posts I'm sure we'll pay attention to it.

It would stand to reason such a thing would show up where there is mod support, but I had to look it up to find out if this was for real.
Now I don't know whether to laugh or what.

I used to think porn was silly until I started doing it.

I guess one could also ask, "Why are there so many violent themes in gaming?"

Is war and battle so favorable over love and sex?

I'll take those sexy "weeb" games any day of the week and spare myself the violence of shoot-em-ups.

Wouldn't you be sparing yourself the violence of this game as well? I think the game (including the courtesean and offering mods and the brothel/quirks surrounding sexuality) address sexuality properly, my issues is sexuality that's just thrown on a plate, it's juvenille. There's no reasoning, it's out of place etc. I know porn does this too but we aren't watching it for the plot. Not only that where's the male sexuality?

I can't understand why people get upset about what other people do in the privacy of their own homes?

Hell, I saw a mod the other day for Stardew Valley of all things that lets you turn one of the girls into a BDSM ponygirl to ride around like a horse. It's not my bag, but it's nothing to get upset or obsess about, no one is being harmed by people having tastes that I find weird.

Honestly I find the fact that people purposely eat vegemite more uncomprehensible than someone wanting to look at nekkid pictures of the opposite sex. I would hope that we could all at least marginally understand why people do that...

You'd be surprised by just how good some of those artists are though. Just sayin.
BoxingBud Apr 16, 2017 @ 6:55pm 
I think the deal is more that tasteful sexuality can still entice but not lose immersion in the game, such as the courtesan or offering. The only male mod that's remotely enticing is the viking.

It's kinda like flat out sex mods are sort of meh, if the modder put just a bit more time or sophistication in it instead of "here's boobs" or whatever it could be enjoyable, keeps immersion and enhances gameplay.

But you are right, if someone has a problem with it, they simply don't have to install that mod. There's plenty of legit taste out there.

You are thinking of the Sonic fandom.
