Not to mention the word "control" - I mean, it's not so much control in most cases as it is flagging it so that parents who so choose can make sure they have a way of making decisions with their kids. Anyways. Don't get me started, I'm from Canada, where sex is as natural as ice hotels and strong beer. *Nods*

It’s the word “downside” that I find disturbing. Not to mention the word “control” - I mean, it’s not so much control in most cases as it is flagging it so that parents who so choose can make sure they have a way of making decisions with their kids.

Anyways. Don’t get me started, I’m from Canada, where sex is as natural as ice hotels and strong beer.

Look at cultures where everyone is exposed to sexual stuff in normal, casual, ways through their entire life. All those people are perfectly fine people, and those societies seem to be doing quite well. The world doesn't end when a kid takes a peek at a breast or a dancing penis. Maybe more and more games should be like this so it will become IMPOSSIBLE to stop it. Then, people won't care, it won't be 'dirty' anymore. Sometimes people are just completely brainless.
