Violence does not equate to what I am talking about. Violence can be used as a necessary means to stop true evil.
Blatant sexual promiscuity including simulations of fellatio, lap dancing, multiple girl on girl dances, as well as sexual activity with prostitutes in your car are entirely different morally - they are far more direct than gray as violence can be.
This sort of sexuality only finds its violence parallel in games like Manhunt 2 and Postal. What bothers me is how commonplace what used to be restricted to the red light district is.
Your quiet, confident mindset that every person is only one video game, book, or magazine away from gladiatorial and bestial sexual behavior is exactly my point - morality is in a rotten state. Equating Grand Theft Auto's strip joints to the fact that "there is shooting and killing in lots of games" is moral equivocation on a grand scale. Your accepted philosophical transient state of mankind would explain why things are the way they are.
Molecular simulations or compartmentalization do not equate to a void of moral law... people are just as compartmentalized and made up of smaller, questionably real parts as a video game.
Your limitation for morality is silly. Just because it is pixels and skeletal animations makes it not morally relevant? This is morally insane.
You could just as equally say real people are composed of skeletons and molecular components, thus anything moral has no place with them.
