This whole article sounds prudish. There’s nothing particularly wrong with there being nc-17 or M rated voice acted scenes in appropriately rated games. If you don’t want to act them out, then simply don’t. You have a union to back you up. That being said, these sort of scenes definitely need to be negotiated and talked about long before minutes before acting it out. I fully agree with such a sentiment.

Nobody’s arguing that. This is about the right to informed consent, not censorship.

That’s not always the case in the moment.

…so you actually agree with what they’re trying to do but still felt like misrepresenting it for a few sentences before saying so?
Weird choice, but at least you reached the right conclusion at the end 🤷
Misrepresenting? Please elaborate how I’m doing such a thing, there are two issues here: the subject of the scenes, and the not being told about the subject.
I have my two cents on each subject, you can agree or disagree with what I say, but saying I was Misrepresenting anything is flat out lying about my comment.

That’s how. By inventing the first issue. Nobody’s arguing for censorship. It’s only about the right to informed consent.

Nope. You were inserting a strawman argument about censorship. That’s by definition misrepresenting.
I feel like sometimes people comment, then read the article, and then try to backpedal when you point out that they missed the point of the article. Thanks for calling it out though
I agree, 100% there is nothing wrong with mature content in games as long as there is consent by all parties involved.
The article is not about mature content in games. It’s about people in mocap suits being told to act out graphic scenes without prior notice, because the scripts are kept confidential until the day of shooting.
You should read the article. It’s not just voice actors. Mocap performers, wearing fitted Lycra suits, have to act out graphic scenes without prior notice so the scripts can remain confidential until the day of the shoot.
Ms Jefferies told the BBC she was once asked to act out a scene with a male performer involving a sexual assault with no prior warning.
“I turned up and was told what I would be filming would be a graphic rape scene,” she said.
Ah. Yeah. That’s a problem. If I went into work one day and my client said “now, pretend to rape and hurt this woman” I think I’d be uncomfortable too. I wonder if they even know the subject matter going in, even if the scripts are confidential. At the very least, a trigger warning.
Honestly, some of the gaming community these days Is filled with the most revolting, incel cesspool I’ve ever seen. Look at zenless Zone Zero created by Hoyo, who also created Genshin impact. It’s filled with characters that look like they are 12 years old, highly sexualized and half naked, with jiggly boob and butt physics, feet pictures, the official community on Reddit that is run by Hoyo itself is bombarded with half naked pictures of these young girls. It’s truly disturbing. The way these gamers defend it is even more disturbing. They say things like “It’s fictional so it doesn’t matter if she looks like a child.” like what??? Bro
