Does this make sense?

The game is like that too. How many different ways are their for sims to get killed or otherwise be violent with each other, but heaven forbid you see a naked baby's ass or an adult drinking alcohol. ::)
It seemed that way before. That it was silly Maxis hadn't put simple things like alcohol in the game. But now because of all the attention and controversy over the JT scandal, I think Maxis thinks it should stay low and avoid those things. If they were to add those things, we all know he'd be back on their case with another. . case.
Motoki:
So what, some fool looking for attention gets to run the show? We all know what they are getting at when they drink "juice" or "blow bubbles" or "woohoo" and the euphamisms are silly nonsense to appease uptight conservatives like Rennie. They're also a double standard because it still doesn't explain why violence is okay, or gambling for that matter.
Baa:
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you completely. It's more than obvious what our Sims are up to. (Although I never really associated the bubble blower with drugs or anything, especially because bubbles actually come out of it. I viewed more as laughing gas available for home use.) It's just that there will always be something that upsets someone, so Maxis has to make sure everyone can appreciate the game without being offended. They also want to keep a T rating. Who knows why. . They say they want to keep the game available to younger players and an M rating would prevent that. Bullwheedies. Remember San Andreas? Kids were playing it. And look, the new Harry Potter movie? A pg-13 rating.

I agree they can Gamble at the poker tables etc but and all that stuff has to be buried with silly euphemisms but yet Rentech obviouly has no issue with deadly violence ie the working hand gun mod in the game definitely a double standard there. I wouldnt use the handgun mod in my game if someone paid me too.I f violence is gonna erupt in my game it will be because one of my sims gets into a fight with another sim. and it wont be with a handgun either
Motoki:
Kngidomapaloce: Oh I know it's not what you personally think, you're just trying to explain the rationale behind it, but I still think it's silly.
I think it's far more disturbing that little kids play San Andreas than if they were to say, play the sims and it actually said *gasp* make love instead of woohoo. I also think it's extremely fucked up that no one gave a crap that kids were playing San Andreas until sex became involved. ::)
Again, typical American double standard BS. :P
