You could argue that adults should be allowed to commit fake sexual abuse but its still likely not a positive for those who consume it.

Should they be allowed to commit fake physical abuse? There are a lot of “violent” video games out there as well.

People tried to ban video games that contained violence decades ago and were unsucessful. Interesting that banning sexual content is working.

Probably not, there’s a reason the US military has spent money funding call of duty games.

  If you think people playing pretend has that strong of an effect on them you might want to avoid the Internet all together. So much stuff on here is significantly worse than Mario jumping on a turtle.

    Will it change someone individually drastically? Probably not. Does it have an effect on society and how it views military action around the world? Apparently so.

    The military spent funding researching astral projection. That doesn’t mean it’s a thing.
