whoo boy, this thread is alive again
.
Ok, first, we (as in the human race) have reached the stage of decline. I am not a Darwinist but I do agre with them that "progress" has gotten in the way of natural selection, shifting the balance toward a me!me!me! mentality.
Second,
Every culture has its own standards of what is accepted and what is not. Only in the last century (actually less than that) the standards have become somewhat globally omogeneous due to to the ease of communication and especially in the last twenty(or so) years due to the help of the social media outlets.
Those standard propagate to the populace trough a process of socialization (go ahead, look it up, i'll wait) that starts at home. Simply put, if your Ma and Da tell you from a young age that is ok to fuck the cat, the cat will get fucked. period. Is it the fault yours, does it lies with your parents, or does it lie with your great great great grand pappy who first fucked the cat?
Third,
rape is a crime. period. The end. A
proved rapist should get is junk removed with a dull rusty spoon, or at the very least made sterile. BUT only if it proved beyond any doubt. Not because a frakking teenager posted on instagram that such and such raped her/him without a shred of proof and starts doxxing the alleged rapist.
The main problem today is that even if the accuser does not have any proof at all, the weight of proof, as far as society is concerned, is on the alleged culprit's shoulders, and even then, useless. Even if you can prove beyond any doubt your innocence, e.g. at the time of the alleged crime you were speaking at a convention live, in front of 3000 people, society will still continue to treat you as guilty. Soo, in what passes for the brain of many today, it is better to grab your pitchfork and join the mob than state your real opinion/position and risk being branded a collaborator/accomplice/sympathizer/etc.
Finally,
yes the game has incest, deal with it. But where in the seven hells, all the realms of death, and the dearth of parallel universes that the human mind theorized did you got the idea that the characters in the game are "pedos"???? You skip from rapist to pedophile in the middle of the phrase and keep going about pedophiles, and then you switch again to talking about rapists. And this: "Once you grow up and hit about 18 years old your brain is smart enough to know right from wrong". Dear [insert your favored deity here], if anything at 18 you are unable to think at all, your hormones do the thinking (if any) for you. And to be able to "know" right from wrong, somebody must give you a meter stick.
Read above about socialization.
Please do not take this as a personal attack, that is not my intention, I am truly interested on how you arrived to your conclusions.
