Sex creates life, a good thing. Violence destroys it. Because you can use tricks to keep the violence at acceptable levels while still being excessive. Seriously, just don't have gore and don't have the blood reach gratuitous levels, and you can keep even brutal fight scenes in the PG-13/Teen rated range (The Dark Knight trilogy is a good example of this, although I could provide others). That, and violence can serve a purpose (whether it's meant to be a fight meant for laughs, or a disturbing insight into how unforgiving war and actual fights are), while s*xual content... tends to aim at the lowest common denominator, and it's difficult to be creative with the topic in a way that doesn't come off as vulgar. It's also not inherently a family-friendly discussion, and most works that have s*x aren't aiming for that demograph anyway. EDIT: I jumped the gun here originally when I didn't have to, so once again I apologize for bringing the subject up again. Also, this did trigger my overall thoughts of my disillusionment with how "mature" works often aren't always more thoughtful or deep as their lower rated counterparts, but instead only get their rating for being more crude and/or violent than it needed to be. I felt like I didn't make that clear enough in my original response. On 4/21/2018 at 11:51 AM, DisobeyedCargo said: for not great history see this: Since when was any nation great?

Dragoncat Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 @Hawkwing Wow, you really hate sex. I mean yeah, I see your point that society has warped it and stuff, but it's a natural part of life. It's wired into our brains to desire it, and it doesn't have to be vulgar. I've written "smut" fanfics that double as dawwww romancey stuff. Something about opening yourself up to that special person, being as vulnerable and naked as the day you were born, and giving into your most primitive desires while still having the civilized part of your brain telling you you're in love. It's very fascinating imo. Anyway. Current question: Because it's a forum game and they tend to last for like a month or more.

Something about opening yourself up to that special person, being as vulnerable and naked as the day you were born, and giving into your most primitive desires while still having the civilized part of your brain telling you you're in love. It's very fascinating imo. Spoiler Well, I do think that s*x is fine in its proper place in marriage. I know that it doesn't have to be vulgar, I just hate how much it's oversold. Yes, it's enjoyable, and yes, it is important for the continuation of the human race, but it's not some glorious thing. It's just a simple action, and yeah, chemically, it is meaningful for the participants. I do think that there are other aspects of marriage that should be praised more often, though, but that's an entirely different topic. That, and I'm a person that loves to think, and I'm also a person that's fine with sacrificing fun if it's means getting something accomplished. The thing that all of my favorite works have in common are that they've made me think deeply about something, regardless if the story was dark or lighthearted, humorous or somber, or even shallow or deep, and sex... doesn't have much depth. And the statement that its "fun" falls on deaf ears, as I would rather read a book or play a game, as it would have more substance that I could possibly use elsewhere. EDIT: My overall point that I wish I made clear earlier was that sex is fine in it's place, but it doesn't need to be present in our daily entertainments and discussions, especially since it can't live up to the pedestal that it's been placed upon. I'm also a guy that respects modesty, self-control, and prudence, along with a ton of other virtues, and sex when improperly used goes against all those things. Spoiler I would also like to point out that the whole "violence" response was only a small part of my disillusionment with "mature" or "adult" works. I largely thank/blame KOTOR 2, Mount & Blade, Mercenaries, Republic Commando and a few other culprits for that, as they manage to be serious and thoughtful games while still retaining their T rating, and they don't overstep boundaries that most "adult" works often do. I could go in more detail, but it would have little to do with the topic and I've spent to much time writing this as it is. Sorry for replying so late, but I'm a slow typer, and real life got in the way. 19 hours ago, Dragoncat said: Why are those teeny candy bars called fun size? Wouldn't it be more fun to have a great big one? It would be too much of a good thing and it might not be profitable for the company in question. In real life and fiction, why does nobody make molotov's when given the chance? which is the only useful thing about alcohol, besides medical functions. And refilling Mila's Turnwheel.

Dragoncat Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 @Hawkwing Okay, I respect that, you do you. I'll do me and enjoy my smut fics lol. Pun unintended... Current question: They had some role, but they didn't build them themselves. Instead the ancient Egyptians saw the aliens as their gods and built the pyramids because the aliens told them to.
