I started playing the game. I got to see a penis and a vagina and pick and choose whatever i want combined with whatever voice I wanted and I'm having a blast playing it.

I have yet to fuck an animal and if people are telling me that my tiefling is gonna have sexytimes with a githyanki and call that Furry Fucking I'm gonna point right on back to Mass Effect and tell them to get off their high horse. Commander Shepard doesn't give a fuck.

And people wonder why video games don't interest me......

   My video gaming experience has been pretty Nintendo-centric, especially with Castlevania dead (and turned into an undead horror by the animated series :) ), Final Fantasy having gone far afield, and Dragon Quest only coming out in the US once a decade or so. :) Threads like this make me grateful for that fact.

I barely play video games anymore. I have many hundreds of games on Steam and GOG, but I don't feel inclined to play. Even nostalgic games from my childhood don't interest me.

Oh, that's just sour grapes. There are tons of video games out there that don't give a shit about woke-tard screeches and tears.

Try Conan Exiles. It's very close to the source material. You can run around naked and enthrall your savage neighbors.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

It's Character creation screen. Koreans do the barbie doll simulator 1000x better than the West.  I honestly didn't need the gential options to see that in my game, that is ridiuclous into and of itself but hey, it's there, do whatever you want.

I know this is about the interation with the polymorphed druid who is now a bear that you can have sex with.

I've found what the whole point in the outrage over  Optional content and a side quest, this looks like making a mountain out of a molehill. Polymorph is a spell, Curses are a thing, bad things happen and the PC has difficult choices to make.

*snip*

No, I just want people to have an informed choice.  You don't, because you want my complaints censored.  See, if vocal disagreement and disapproval inevitably leads to censorship, then you are as guilty as we are.  So your logic rests on the truly woke manta, "It's ok when we do it"...

Except that reasoned disagreements with specific points you have yet to refute (but could if you actually bothered to engage them rather than continue reasserting your bullshit points and intellectually dishonest framing of this game's  content) are not the same thing as complaints that something you personally don't like merely exists, but you think it shouldn't, and that everyone else is morally obligated to join you in your complaints...or else (what you're actually doing in this discussion). One of them is a disagreement that could potentially shut you up if actually agree with my reasoning (slim chance), and the other one is moral grandstanding that seeks to make content you don't like go away. So it isn't quite the same thing (but at least you're tacitly admitting to wanting censorship just to rope me in and hang me with my own logic, so we're making progress).

Just like this game doesn't quite include any "positive depictions of bestiality" either, despite your (plural "your") repeated attempts to declare that it does, like turning it into a mantra will make it so. This game has a COMICAL, toss away sex scene between FICTIONAL supernatural humanoid characters, where one of them happens to be a shapeshifter. And you have the OPTION—in a SIDE QUEST—to dig through MULTIPLE dialog options to have those characters have sex, with one of them shapeshifted into a bear.

That is not the same thing as "this game contains positive depictions" or "promotions of bestiality". A COMICAL scene where the punchline is to laugh AT (not "with") something is not a "positive depiction" of that thing. It's MOCKERY. And an obscure scene in a side quest you have to specifically dig through multiple dialog options to even find isn't "promoting" that shit either. You have to dig in a portion of the game that isn't even part of the main content to even find it. And then you have to CLICK on it, as opposed to any of the other options.

And as others have pointed out that isn't even the worse thing morally speaking in this or ANY other game with similar content. There are numerous games (not just this one) where you get to make deals with demonic entities, steal, maim and murder, collect body parts and shit, etc. Yet you, me and no one else on this forum has ever BITCHED about them because we know that these are FICTIONAL acts in a video game. That you can easily ignore, as I do almost every single time that I run into such options, with the rare exception of stealing in-game shit (which is basically a victimless crime, often with few in-game consequences) or very rarely murdering NPCs out of morbid curiosity (if there's some sort of "evil" quest involved), or cuz they pissed me off, so I kill them once, then reload my last save.

But you have lashed on to this one, as far as I can tell, due to novelty (murdering, stealing and striking deals with demons in video games is passe at this point, but fucking a SHAPESHIFTED bear is new and unusual) and the fact that this is the current Two Minutes Hate on this Right-Wing SJW forum. So you need to have your moral grandstanding fix, cuz why else would you post here?

Do people support those things? Or do they exist in games and are treated as bad/wrong/evil? Just curious.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Doom is absolutely about committing murder on a scale of epic level, murder of demons and the genocide of the whole demon 'race'.    Worshipping demons is in the game but not spelled out this is something the Doom Guy does, he kills demons, devils, and all things Bad.

In a lot of games you can choose an "evil" path. In fantasy games this usually ranges from being the Black Knight, to necromancy, to demon worshipping. However, these contents also exist for the player to choose another path, refuse them and even actively fight them. As I said earlier, if the only choice is "good" there is no merit in being good.

Murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. So you're wrong.
Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. So you're wrong again.

And for the killing blow:

In Doom is worshipping demons portrayed as something good?

Doom guy is killing hordes of invaders intent on exterminating or enslaving the humans. Guess you also think that in Starship Troopers the humans are the bad guys...
