I just feel that at the age of 51 (in my MIDDLE-AGE lifespan) I shouldn't be told I can't look at a man's willy.
Or lacktherof ;) It's not like they actually have one once you remove the censor blur.
I still don't get why it's okay for kids to undress Barbie dolls (and every kid I have ever seen play with them does) and look at the plastic genital-free nudity and yet for a game like TS2 to be rated Teen, not G mind you, Teen, then that same sort of non-nudity nudity is not allowed. Sometimes ratings boards and American society in general just doesn't make any damned sense to me.

As a fellow MIDDLE-AGER (46), I'm on that bandwagon with you. In bifocals.
Motoki, I've argued that logic with others ~ who don't play the Sims, but have read Thompson's propaganda ~ and they just don't get it! Those who don't actually play the game believe what he says about pedophiles using naked Sim-children to practice their disgusting acts. Not only do they not believe me when I tell them there are no such animations in the game, that children can do no more than HUG an adult, or give a friendly family kiss, they don't seem to grasp the fact that, as the game is shipped, those actions can only occur while the Sims are both fully clothed, with no blur. And if anatomically correct and "invisible clothing" skins are used on a child (shame!), the only time the blur bothers to show up is in the tub or shower, or on the toilet. And Sims shower and pee alone. So what's the point?!?
It's like talking to a stump.
[Edited because I forgot toilet blur.]
witch:
woohoo & makeout are far more explicit sexually then a barbie doll in a shower. Bizarre
Inge:
I know. If I was a censor I would get rid of the woohoo option, especially that tacky cut-scene video. I wouldn't bother with blurs as it just draws more attention to the naughty aspects of nudity instead of letting it look natural and innocent.
Funnily enough, since that Jack Thompson started fussing, a google search of The-Sims draws out pages and pages of matches containing the words "labia, genitals, penis, pubic hair", which it never did before. If you have children googliing for things to do with their favourite game, that is going to expose them to far more of the subject he was hoping to avoid them seeing than ever before he piped up.

My beef with the blur is that it SLOWS THE GAME DOWN. I hate that aspect of it, therefore I kill it.
