Actually, it's about ethics in game retail.

It's an example of pearl-clutchers deliberately misrepresenting the nature of a game they don't like in order to get it pulled from a major retailer. I'm a pretty hardcore feminist and even I have a problem with that. "It's not censorship" does not equal "it's not asinine and contemptible."

This would be the same game that makes you torture someone with a car battery, right? Inescapably, as part of the plot?

The response I typically get about comprehensive sex ed (covering LGBT issues as well) is "well why should we teach kids to do this stuff? It'll only encourage them!" Implicit in that argument is "Let consequences for some dissuade the others!," IMO. The good girls and boys will win out while the sluts (mostly girls,…

It's provocative in the sense that my inner teenager really wants to save those pictures.

Agreed. I don't think more widespread interest in more extreme acts is by any means a bad thing, but misinformed, pushy, "you should do this by default" kink is at the very least frustrating and very often dangerous.

"Yeah, I'd like to order a coke."

Sometimes the fiancee and I do indulge in FF-y positions—her head off the bed, me crouching over her, etc—and now I'm thinking we should keep a towel handy. Y'know. Just in case.

To be fair, it is bloody difficult. The first and only time it happened was completely by accident. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what combination of actions led to her making such an awesome mess.

...what's the foundation of BDSM?

Sounds like Vice ain't far off, though.

That's just fucking awful and yet another reason why anti-comprehensive sex ed people drive me mad. We need to update curriculums on both sides of the Atlantic to feature discussions of consent and the fantasy, unrealistic elements of pornography.

It's filmed fantasy featuring consenting performers over the age of consent. Emphasize the importance of consent, sure. Mandate discussion of safewords and responsible play at the beginning of every video, put kinky behavior on the list in sex ed, yeah. Ban adults from producing fantasy material? Nah. Nah, nah, nah.…

Jesus, they're still here? Why? I grew out of /b/ half a decade ago, I guess I'll never understand the determined mindset again.

Apropos of nothing, jaw-dropping conversation:

:/

I've got this idea, see? You produce porn in the US, but you only hire UK expats as performers, or at the very least people who can do convincing accents. Then you export it to merry old England and make a goldmine! ...pound-mine?

There is no way out. I've been out there, and you always end up back here. It's a fucking corn maze. Welcome home.

Skeezy as Kink.com is rumored to be, at least they make a point to interview their actors before and after every set and clearly spell out what safe words to use ("...red light if I can talk, 'uh uh uh' and head shaking if I can't, THIS hand motion if I can't move my head...").
