        Most normal people don't fly airplanes either, but that's not a requirement for Flight Simulator to mimic real life well too.

          flight simulators and other war games (Early CODs not the modern warfare and such ) don't promote negative values in society and sexism . Portraying women as mere sexual objects is not very healthy to teenagers . GTA 5 had all kinds of applying torture , sexual gratification , promoting banditry.

            You're sounding like a 90's christian parent worried that video games are going to turn their kids violent.

            Which reminded me, I should have mentioned this earlier, but you used the word "depraved" in the first post; I am not comfortable with you using that christofacist language.

              lol. Well that's maybe the cultural difference between a westerner and a person from South Asia. We two have different perspectives of depravity and right and wrong. btw I am not a Christian .

                Well, you do sound like one. Condemning a piece of media for its "depravity" sounds like it came straight out of a Republican's playbook. As for perspective, I mean, if it means "things with a sexual tone that I consider morally bad", then it is a problem regardless of culture.

                Edit: maybe I am being too exclusionary, all religious fundamentalism is bad, not just christian.

                  https://www.gamerbraves.com/china-has-banned-more-than-60-games-from-live-streaming/ Not really its either you are promoting the moral depravity in society or thinks anything that republicans say against video games is bad. And i don't live in Republican , democrat dilemma .

                    either you are promoting the moral depravity in society

                    Holy shit, you're literally talking like a conservative, let's drop the religion talk completely and just call this what it is: conservatism. And wth is that list? Am I supposed to agree that games like The Witcher, DDLC, Resident Evil and L4D should be banned for "depravity"? You're literally proving my point.

                    In fact, China is a great example of why that talk about "depravity" is nothing more than another tool for oppression: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033687586/china-ban-effeminate-men-tv-official-morality

                    I don't hate China like your average westerner, there are many things there that I like, the unfortunate conservatism in the government is not one of them.

            Games are the newest bugaboo in a long line of media 'boos. Movies, tv shows, books (really). Its extremely tiring to see this same pattern play out

        Yea why aren't there more video games about following the speed limit in your 10 year old car then filling out spreadsheets for 8 hours.

        Where the fuck did all these boomer ass takes come from.
