The Sydney Morning Herald (where' I'd love to work one day), has an interesting story up about the first ever Sex in Video Games Conference that was recently held in San Francisco. The Australian paper talks about the odd paradox that has left the gaming industry and those who watch it OK with violence but totally freaked out about sex.
Organiser Brenda Brathwaite said opposition to sexual content in games was inevitable, with critics typically using the argument of protecting children "as if all gamers are kids and all media should be reduced to a form that kids can consume".
She challenged the audience to imagine a world of books, art, music and film with no sexual references, adding: "If Brokeback (Mountain) was a game that just had two guys on a bench talking" someone would still try to ban it.
