  I think some christian items could also be affected, like the bible. Cane and Able, crucifixion, etc are all in that book

      Also encouraging your neighbors to rape your own daughters instead of the visiting angels.

  nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part

  All action movies should removed from streaming.

  Right now in Rimworld I am sending child soldiers to bring more ammo to the mortars that are busy pounding away at some primitive tribesmen that are angry at me for dumping a few tons of toxic waste on their home or something.

  Those that survive the mortar bombardment will be lobotomised and enslaved. If they have enough limbs remaining to be useful to me I will probably use a few of them as slaves and the rest will be sold to the empire. Any that the empire don’t want will be harvested for organs and dumped in a corpse pit.

  I didn’t ask if the tribesmen consented to any of this.

    Honestly, that’s pretty tame for Rimworld.

  • Danquebec@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Is there really a game that allows you to do all that??!!

    source

    • AliasVortex@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Absolutely and more! We also have psychic powers, murder robots, friendly murder robots, vampires, genetic engineering, organized religion, semi-sentient plants, space ships, cannibals, space drugs, drugs in space, rabid woodland critters, eldritch horrors beyond comprehension, giant bugs, orbital bombardments, and also the looming threat of starvation as you watch all that you built burn. That’s all before we talk about things that the modding community has brought to the game.

      To be clear, the RimWorld doesn’t force you into any one play style, and most of the things listed above can be disabled or avoided if that’s not your jam. At its core the game is trying to tell a story, it’s up to the player to help shape that story. It’s absolutely fantastic; quite literally the best $30 I’ve ever spent on a game (if we’re talking hours played, I’m just about to turn the corner on 2,000 hours (in the spirit of disclosure, a chunk of that is also spent making mods for the game)).

    I keep trying to learn rimworld. I drop out of most tutorials some time after building a refrigerator. Any recommendations on how to get further along? This is a game I’ll love once I know it but I’m not there yet.

      Do the relaxed scenario girl and a lower difficulty for an easier time. Drop in a year round grow area, and mountainous area to mine a base into the mountain.

        Thanks for the tips. I have been using that storyteller and easy mode but picking a random temperate forest.

  it would put circumcision too, but the USA doesn’t care

  Oh did you not read the years and years of actions religious groups did to snuff games and movies?

    Minecraft, killing animals for food.

• Rekorse@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Mutilation seems to imply more than just violence or killing. For example, Days Gone has a scene very early that involves flaying someone’s skin off, I would imagine that type of stuff would qualify.

  • SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Wouldn’t that have artistic value? Since that adds to the story.

    source

    • Khanzarate@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That’s true but anyone agaimt its inclusion would just say it doesn’t add to the story. “Clearly it detracts from the story, as the player would be distracted by the horrific event instead of enjoying the game” -some hypothetical mastercard Exec, right before fining Valve.

      It’s not a court, so there’s no appeal from that, unless there’s an appeal granted by the contract itself.

    • lightnsfw@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That’s the thing, who defines what artistic value is? I’ve seen some pretty creative pornography over the years. Is that artistic value? I’ve seen very creative depictions of violence and uses of profanity too. What about on the other end of the spectrum, Is Tetris have artistic value?

      source

      • Danquebec@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think pornography is an “art” the same way gastronomy is an “art”. Both serve a simple function: one to arouse you, the other to be enjoyable food to eat.

        I think the more general definition of art is something that generates more complex emotions and thoughts.

        Tetris is artsy as shit, especially with that kickass score, Korobeiniki.

        For a better example, maybe contrast it against the more generic marvel movies.

      They didnt have to show it so explicitly, although I’m not sure simply implying mutilation would qualify too.

      Its hard to say what the right level of shock for that kind of thing is, it probably should just be restricted to adults only.
