Sexual Content in MFGG Fangames

[Evil Yoshi Toes]

oh yea and a decision /has/ been made zero kirby. ppl are jst trying to get it overturned because they like watching sand castles crumble

The point of this discussion is not to destroy you or your game, it is to discuss whether it is or is not appropriate for this site. Anyone who is insulting you or your game is straying from the topic.

I agree with what Zero Kirby said overall.
Some of you have brought up the violent games on MFGG to defend sloshy's game being on this site, which is a valid point. While I agree somewhat, I'd argue against this by saying that sexual content is something that should be kept further away from children than violence. Sex is something that everyone will encounter at some point and it can be an extremely confusing topic for children, especially as they start to go through puberty. It is easier for parents to teach a child not to be violent while sex is something that is harder to talk about with children and therefore tends to be a more sensitive issue since you can't just tell a child "don't ever have sex in real life," unlike with extreme violence.

Still, that argument regarding violent fan games on MFFG brings up an issue the site already has and that this new fetish game brings up again. There's an inconsistency in the way we brand this site, which is as a family friendly site, and the content that appears on it. I don't think these overly gory games belong on MFGG as long as we present ourselves as and directly claim to be a family friendly site.

A fix to this issue would be to have a rating system, as others have brought up. This could keep people under a certain age from having access to certain games. I don't suggest that we go back and purge MFGG of all violent games submitted in the past, but I think, until we have some sort of rating system implemented, we should avoid having violent and especially sexual games on the front pages.
