He actually had a fairly decent arguement in his post before the mutal sniping snowballed.


I agree with it! its the same reason somebody says 'hey watch Gossip Girl. the girls are hot' and i'm like 'i have porn'
on the other hand i played the hot chick in Devil Kings 'cause i hoped her ending cutscene would be really hot

tho i can see erotisim as a spur for boring gameplay. like in RPGs

Let's imagine for a moment that it's the year 2102 and this is a thread where we discuss the subject of dating and then "making love" to our new robot girl companions. Perhaps we are robot enthusiasts, and the thread is supposed to be about how well-made these robots actually are, and what unrecognized genius is behind them, yet by our very discussion we're admitting that we own fuckbots ourselves and do in fact use and enjoy them.

Would that not be a little bit funny, sad, or even disgusting?

I mean I guess you could argue that these fuckbots would be nothing more than really advanced sex toys, but I sort of doubt that many women have stimulating romantic conversations with their vibrators before getting off with them. Wouldn't it be slightly odd if they did?

I'm going to put this aside since I don't think the analogy is really fair or related, though I'd still say that it's probably none of these things and it's still a natural act (insofar as masturbation is a natural act). At the same time though, you're also having sex with an object, which is different in some regard to looking at pictures and masturbating, which is ultimately what you're doing with all forms of current pornography.

So yeah, Intentionally Wrong, I'd agree that masturbation is a perfectly natural and even necessary thing! What I'm poking fun at here is the use of a videogame as a means to this end, considering how bizarre they can be and how some of their fans seem to get so wrapped up in how wonderful these pixelated female companions are...

I'll admit the discussion of their actual game mechanics certainly brings up some interesting points (like the potentiality of flirtation thing), but I still see the whole concept of "masturbation games" as being, depending on the precise nature of the content, kind of sleazy, funny, or just fucking sick.

Why would you say a videogame to this end is any different? Every medium available thus far has been used for pornographic content, why are videogames excluded? There's nothing particularly unique about videogames excepting the fact that there's an element of interaction and I've already made this argument several times--I only really seem to hit roadblocks when I say that interaction makes the medium uniquely different, particularly the videogame's kind of interaction.


I was about to say this. I find the idea of pornographic videogames a bit distasteful but every other medium has been used for porn so yeah
i find the idea of convincing yourself that you have a real relationship with a videogame character is creepy tho

I could probably name you plenty of hentai games that sold more in less.

Do you think all the people who bought these games are sleazy, "funny", or just fucking sick?


well, yeah
but i kinda feel that way about people who spend money on porn in general. i mean i'll browse a few TGPs once a week but i can't see spending money or time on porn. its really... biological
