Ah yes that is clearly a majority of the major games being released.
Canadian people doing badly is not because of games, but because of economy itself.
Welcome, Fedora Tilter #1
If you read any of it, the focus is on the para-social nature of videogames now in general. Even innocent games like Stardew Valley are inherently a dating simulator.
I left the https://steamdb.info/charts/?sort=24h link to ward off stupid people like you, but I see it doesn't really work when I assume people will read. Most of the singleplayer titles with the highest 24hr peak of concurrent players have nudity/sexual-content in them- there's too many to list, so I referenced the link.
But you did waste your time telling me about it
And the amount in those that have it is pretty much redundant for gameplay.
I address this specifically in my Bethesda games statement. Do you really think the majority of the concurrent players are playing the vanilla experience? That'd be naive at best. Most of them play modded, and there's obviously no way to predict what percentage of players use x mods, but there's a clear way to tell by the most downloaded mods respective to each game. Sex/nudity whatever kink you're into is never below the top 100 most downloaded. Pick a game. Fallout, Skyrim, etcetera my point still stands.
And if you can't say what % of users use mods/adult mods, why are you saying "most" of them does?
If all you're gonna do is strawman, I have no interest talking to you.
I don't have an issue with porn. I'll use a euphemism.
Water is vital to your health. Water is good for you. Too much water kills you via water intoxication. Any substance, medium, etc. is no different.
My issue is with 1/5 Canadians self-admitting they're entirely alone. This is clearly a proponent of it.
Go look at Skyrim, Fallout, Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077's Steam Artwork hub. This is just within the last week- how long do you have to scroll before it's porn? Not very.

It's becoming standard, and if the death of real-world socializing doesn't worry you, that's exactly why you'll be a victim of mega-corporations. They're no longer selling you products- they're selling you your "life."
I disagree with such an authoritarian approach, but I would be okay with an age-gate. However, how do you enforce it without government ID for example? Too many privacy concerns with that, but the alternative is exposing children to all of this stuff. Banning it outright would just lead to prohibitions with alcohol for example.
The solution lies within open and honest dialogue about it, because as we've already seen, the people here would rather continue living in their manufactured fantasies than reality. Does that say more about reality, or the manufactured fantasies? Introspection is needed, and it seems it's been lost in the plot. Maybe if IRL stuff wasn't so objectively ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ATM (cost of living, other anti-social phenomenon, AI job displacement) people would be motivated to participate instead of exclusively indulge in escapism. Can't say I blame them, but I wish people understood why the average intelligence is plummeting like a bowling ball from the Empire State Building.
People aren't stupid, but their heads are being filled with nonsense at best. Why is it that most people can't tell you how a fridge works? A microwave? Their plumbing? Their car's engine? (yes, you can google it, and yes, you missed the point if that was your response)
For example people who played Skyrim can recite the dialogue from that game and practically replay it in their minds- but they couldn't accurately label more than 10 countries on a map if their lives depended on it. We've gotten to a point where people collectively know more about ♥♥♥♥ that doesn't even exist compared to things that do
Because it's ineffective; the same ignorant parents use their ID's to purchase the same inappropriate games for their kids. For example, as a kid, plenty of my friends played games like Call of Duty or GTA games. It's not like the kids themselves bought those titles. That's why I think the solution is open and honest dialogue- educating the people who are otherwise ignorant, or don't care what they're exposing children to.
I don't think there's a way to enforce an age-gate without a camera pointing at the player- which is obviously dystopian... The parents that do care have tools at their disposal to restrict access to X games if they so choose. The issue predominantly is that they don't care.
I know that porn abuse can cause problems. And I know loeliness can be harmful. But calling every game "blatant porn" because some people use adult mods is a stretch. Calling games, that have tiny amount of sexual content "blatant porn" is a stretch. Pushing all canadian problems on porn is a stretch.
