Molested By A Video Game

The "controversial" video game Mass Effect has caused a lot of issues for some "opinion-makers" on the Internet and that made them externalize it in their blogs. Hey, after all this one way to become famous - at least for Kevin McCullough, a very conservative blogger. He posted a lot of misinformed statements in his blog about the Mass Effect video-game, claiming that the younger gamers are exposed to explicit content within the game-play. It is one thing to know exactly what you're talking about and give accurate descriptions and a totally different thing to set pure opinions as true and valid statements. Kevin is currently being ridiculed by all gaming websites, oh yes, he had it coming allright. But what makes things even spicier is that he keeps posting more "documented" arguments on his blog. Among other things he says: "The most realistic sex acts... - from the YouTube footage I saw, I still concur, to me these acts are the most realistic put in video games - that I have seen. In the lesbian version one woman's hand appears to stimulate the crotch of the other passing between the legs. Today many of the more perv-oriented gamer-nerds took delight in describing for me the detailed description of games they claim are MORE realistic... Ok fine, I'll take them at their word, but for me the statement stands..."

Some gamers who know a lot more about the game than he does started profiling him, FBI style (like in the Criminal Minds TV Show): "The unsub (the suspect) was probably molested by a videogame

when he was a young boy and suffers from the 'misinformed and self-righteous people' syndrome. Real gamers should either stay away from his Internet blog or just laugh at his statements. Best course of action: try the game yourself and then decide."
