What these morons on their moral high-horse (Moron High-horse, I should say) don't understand is that media does not have any influence over people, or kids for that matter. Violence is a real-world occurrence. Saying that video games cause violence is the equivalent of saying that Surgeon Simulator caused me to become a surgeon (It has for me, by the way).
In fact, if it weren't for violence in the media, then maybe crimes would increase! Yeah, that's right!
Statistics say that violence in the real world has decreased in recent decades. That's right, peer-reviewed studies have determined that violent video games do not lead to real-world violence.1 I'll tell you what it does lead to: Sales. Oh, but what the new morons on their moron high-horse believe is we need less violence in video games, and more perverted non-sense. I wish I was kidding on that last part.

If you're unfortunate enough to hear about Gaijin Goombah, then you may have heard about his hashtag #BoobsNotBlood that started trending on Twitter last year. The real shocking fact is that Gaijin Goombah has fans who believe every bullshit that comes from his mouth every fucking time.
This of course leads to the classic Seinfeldian question:
Who are these people?
So where did this #Boobsnotblood come from? Well it came from a Gaijin Goombah video. This video is where he rattles off some perspective about gaming "inequality" that probably doesn't exist.
This is where it all started:
Yes, all good points, except we already ran into one problem: Twitch shouldn't allow too much sexually explicit content, otherwise, it would just be a soft-core porn stream thing. That is within Twitch's right, if you don't like it, Twitch says you can fuck off.
So what about this has anything to do with equality? So I guess if most people like fast food, but not sit-down restaurants, is that inequality? How about a better example, if I choose to eat a fine steak instead of eating a pile of dried hippopotamus diarrhea, would that be inequality for not choosing to eat both, or using Hippo diarrhea as Steak Sauce?
It's the free market, dipshit! The reason that violent and gory games are popular is because it's actually more fun than the games you mentioned. Why should we be forced to endure all this bullshit that only a small fraction of the population cares about?
Besides, if you want to see tits that badly, go to Google, dipshit. Or better yet, eat a dick!
Also, you say that sexuality is more humane than violence, but violence is also humane as well, in that it's also apart of human nature. Yeah, humans are fucked up, dude.
Saying that violence is worse than sex is stupid; people die from STDs far more than violence. About two-fifths of teenage girls contract STDs, and Three-fourths of adolescent males get HIV Just to name a few facts.2 Do you see why we need Sex-negativity now?
Don't tell me "B-but Angrygrape, we're trying to be equal in gaming and stuff. I take violence and sexuality to be equal." For that I reply with this: Why is your hashtag on Twitter #BoobsNotBlood? That would be like me saying "I support equality between Whites and Blacks, so I'm hashtagging #WhitePower on Twitter."
Explain this part of the video:
You made a mistake in the video saying that was Baraka, but you said that it was Mileena in text form. Also, you said that you didn't wanna "sift through more gore to find it" as in you just don't like this icky blood and violence. You also had to use Bandage Mileena, that is no coincidence. Especially in that pose right there.
Remember when I said all your points were good? I lied!
We know your motives, and you do realize that you're destroying a very important pillar of the gaming industry for your own self-interests. Instead of seeing that, you decide to hide behind the "equality" thing, and comparing this non-issue with things like Slavery and Homophobia will not automatically make it a legitimate issue, it just comes off as lazy.
From day one, video games have had the odds stacked against them. That is why we need #BloodNotBoobs. For all seriousness, it seems though that video games are once again a hotbed for controversy. The reason we need to keep a lid on these oversexualized games is for a variety of reasons.
| Video Games | Boobs | Blood | ||||
| Will be more likely to be taken seriously in games. |  |  | ||||
| Has built the gaming industry since the 90s. |  | | ||||
| Will be primarily used to attract men...and gay women. |  | | ||||
| Carries Oxygen to the rest of the Human Body. | |  | ||||
| Is in most AAA games. | | | ||||
| Is necessary for a good game. | | | ||||
| What the fans of every over-sexualized game has. |

So you wanna see me make fun of the morons who tweeted #BoobNotBlood? Of course you do.
