No, cartoon violence =/= explicit sex. It would also be off-putting of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck re-enacted an explicitly violent movie like Saw. OTOH, we see nothing wrong with a "cartoonfied" version of courtship behavior:bombadilillo said:Theres a reason the coyote gets smashed with a giant mallet instead of the Roadrunner whipping its cock out and fucking him. If you cant see the difference...I dont know how to explain it to you.Kahunaburger said:No, I'm honestly kind of curious about your mindset. What's the big difference (that you apparently think should be obvious to others) between gratuitous sex and gratuitous violence?bombadilillo said:Wow, being deliberately obtuse. Good angle.Kahunaburger said:Why is there a difference, exactly?bombadilillo said:While were at if can you stop using that frame for the arguement? There is a big difference between preforming impossible comically overly gory kills and Kratos fucking 2 chicks in a minigame.GrizzlerBorno said:Fully agree with that Last para. And that "Decapitation=fine, woman's breast=Save the CHILDREN!" really needs to go away. I mean, I know cultural habits die hard...but it's been what, 200 Fucking years since the 1800's. Can we PLEASE put irrational prudeness behind us already?
Its more then "just tits, get over it"
I think the problem is that you think of all depictions of sexual behavior as explicit depictions of sexual intercourse, which ignores stuff like courtship behaviors, etc. So in cartoons we depict consequence-free violent mischief and consequence-free flirtation, whereas in God of War we depict stylized, non-explicit (the definition of explicit violence being something out of a torture movie) violence, and stylized, non-explicit sex.
