Wow. I wonder how messed up cavemen were, back before clothing was even socialy required.

"Brain scientists tell us that “in 3/10 of a second a visual image passes from the eye through the brain, and whether or not one wants to, the brain is structurally changed and memories are created – we literally ‘grow new brain’ with each visual experience.”


She's completely right you know. Charector-defining events do tend to shape one's personality. Who would have thought? I say we outlaw roller coasters, the ability to walk, speak, or anything else we might have done for the first time at a young age that might have effected us some how. Let's just stop brain developement altogether. Who needs it?

Of course, pornography supposedly alters the brain in a bad way. Well.. at least they keep saying that. The only actually evidence of this is in the following fact:

“all, that is 100%” of rapists, pedophiles, etc., in their study possessed adult pornography, “such as Playboy, on up….”

Well, that proves it then. Perverts are perverted. Who would'a thunk it? I mean my god, who hasn't ever looked at porn? You might as well say that 100% of rapists wear pants (though that itself could be argued). People who look at porn don't rape, it's just that people who rape happen to look at porn.

I'm done. And yes, this is completely on-topic.

Yep, I'm new here.
Ovaltine, you are missing the point. In fact it could be said you aren't even aiming for it. How would this affect the gameplay? It's like OMG!! BUNN135 800815!! OMGWTFBBQ!. Great. So now we get sex obsessed teenagers on this forum spouting useless nonsense and cluttering up these hitherto-admirable forums with spam, trash and useless idiocy in general.

And I am fairly sure that a lot of people don't look at porn. There's the real thing. Go outside.

I agree with Ovaltine that that article is fundamentally flawed. The vast majority of adults have pornography in one medium or another, so linking it to sex criminals is pretty much meaningless. Furthermore, even if the link was statistically significant, correlation does not equal causation. Claiming that porn causes you to rape people simply because rapists have porn is logically invalid, I hope I don't need to explain why.

Oh, believe me, I understand that part. I'm not quite that dumb.

Jeff is right.

Come on, we all know it...

That is jsut scary

just to clear it up, stating the statistic that rapists use porn does not imply that all porn leads to rape, but simply that people who use porn excessively are more likely to engage in such activities.


make sense now?

it is a pretty damned useless statistic. Tell me what percentage of males in the world, over the age of 15, have never seen porn. I bet that number will be more than the percentage of rapists out of the same group.

You can't logically conclude anything relevant from that data. For instance, 99% of people with chronic headaches own Aspirin (or equivalent), by this politician's logic, Aspirin causes chronic headaches.

I really, really don't see the correlation between the political orientation of a person and sexual preference.

On-topic: I would very much like to see female protagonists, if we are able to choose at all. As I said in a previous post, I am not for ridiculously enlarged bust sizes, but a slightly different physique wouldn't be wrong in my opinion, perhaps also the way the female characters move. After all, the characters are quite anthropomorphic, there's no denying that (judging not only from upright stance, but also from the redistribution of the center of mass, reshaping of the hip bone to accomodate walking on two instead of four limbs, rib cage,... I could go on and on).

Game over. Jeff wins.

See, this forum needs more 'o that! Sexual enuendas and scandulous behavior in general makes the world go 'round. There are too many people out there (or, in face, IN here) who get too uncomfortable about such jokes, and that can totally suck major cock for a lot of reasons. Sex is a wonderful topic because, unlike most things that everyone has a say in, everyone has something relitively different to say about it (though most agree that it's just plain lovel!). And why shouldn't little kids hear sex jokes? I mean, they tell them enough, it's not like hiding them is doing anything anyway. They should know that sex-related stuff (like puberty, which can always be stressful) is totally cool. If you just hush up that sort of stuff, then how will they ever be compellde to ask any questions about sex when they have them? They won't! They won't ask because it'll seem taboo to ask, and then they'll probubly go live out some sex joke themself.

Wow, this has so little to do with my quote of Vib's. Sorry.

I don't know why we should discuss sexual intercourse of any form in a forum which is dedicated to a computer game. There is no relation at all, you've just made it up. And it doesn't make sense to me to mix up Lugaru with teenager-wants-to-see-things-that-make-him-think-of-sex crap.

Nice try anyway.. Don't feed the troll, they say

seeing as this is already on four pages of arguments, I've got to ask... Wasn't this topic a joke????

I even voted yes because of the "rawr" thingy and also because I wasn´t a putz.... I think...
oh well....
