Joystiq interviews Brenda Brathwaite about sex and games
Feb 28th 2007 1:47PM (Joystiq)I don't think that she is trying to get pron scenes implemented into everyday commercial games. What I believe she is saying is that instead of fearing sexual content in games, we should just learn how to handle it responsibly like her examples, God of War, sims, ect.
I mean how stupid would it be to see a Sims character fully clothed in a hot tub or shower.
If the scene is in good taste then there shouldn't be a problem. There are sex scenes in movies all the time and people don't just "UHH *BBEP* off to it" They watch and they see the progression in the story and character growth.
Something like sex can be used maturely to help games reach a new way of expressing story or game play. I think some games take advantage of it like the guy game, bmx xxx, ect. However that is not what Brenda was defending at all. So Will's comment about her being a "pervert" is simply ignorant. He should go back a read the article.
Further more, about her being a woman with this info and getting press: So what? Sure a man would not get the press, you know why? Cause a general stereotype is that men ARE perverted and only think about sex, so of course no one would take that seriously. The second a women comes along ppl stop and think about it because women hearing this or even men do not feel threatened initially. This goes back to basic psychology.
So if anything Will, those men who have purposed these ideas before her should be thankful she came around.
