Don't care how hypocritical this sounds, but I would rather have my kids play GTA 3 than this.

Prowling out of the tundra, swinging a jeweled meat hammer, cometh Outlaw Torn! And he gives a gutteral bellow:

"I'm seriously going to hump you until you scream like a banshee!"

Right. Being able to kill someone in an online game full of people is totally harmless, and yet being able to rape someone in an online game full of people is going to corrupt you beyond repair.

...

Yes, the "Do video games affect your behaviour?" discussion is interesting, but you have to be on one side or the other. You can't say that violence and murder doesn't affect the player at all, and yet rape does. Either they both have an effect, or neither of them do. Just because you feel more strongly about rape than you do murder does not make it so. It is utterly illogical and hypocritical.

I postulate that the aformentioned discussion will be brought up again, perhaps with people questioning whether violent games maybe do have an effect on players.

Wow, that should have been the first thought the got into my head. It wasn't. Ugly thread, destroyed my perspective on the world

The first thought into my head was the assumption that "Sociolotron" had something to do with computerised oversized motorcycles and men in shining blue armour.

That had me musing for quite a while.
