always amuses me to see sex is more outrageous than murder, gruesome murder!
so what do you think?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Why would you put 2 men kissing in a video game?
I guess that's not the kind of "offense" they were talking about though...

As a parent I guess I wouldn't want my kids to play a game with a graphic depiction of a severed head just as much as I wouldn't want them to see a graphic sex scene.... but I would be more "shocked" to see 2 men kissing in a game.....because....why?

None of the above would even make me flinch.
Seriously, sex in-game always look ridiculous and if it sparks any kind of reaction, it's usually laughter.
Severed heads? I mean come on! We've seen that shit since we were kids, who cares? Since the day I sat down on top of a stiff in SoF and chopped him up into small pieces with my combat knife while laughing frantically, I've been pretty much unaffected by things like that.
Language is just language, and words are just words. It doesn't matter what words are repeated, in the end you get used to them and they lose their 'value', just like the O-so-boring word "fuck" has. Personally I get a greater thrill reading british insults like, "you little spiffy twat" or stuff like that, than someone saying "fucking bastard" or whatever. Fuck hasn't been cool since Raw 1987.
Two men kissing? Heh, I would indeed laugh if I saw that in any game. Not because it's shocking morally or anything, but because based on the games I usually play, it would be quite strange if it was included in such games, heh..
