Sex and Violence in Video Games Panel
Quote:
The last panel at PAX 2008 was the highly anticipated discussion on Sex and Violence in Videogames between former Nintendo executive Perrin Kaplin, Grand Theft Childhood co-author Dr. Cheryl K. Olson and What They Like Inc., president John Davison. Moderated by Newsweek tech writer N'Gai Croal, the trio attempted to dissect the mainstream media misnomer that "videogames are toys" with both informative and hilarious results.
Beginning the process with a firm kick in the butt, Croal asked the panelists to introduce themselves and answer whether or not they felt it was perception or reality that videogames cannot deal with violence and sex in a meaningful and artistic way. "They can portray violence great," Davison said. "I don't think they've dealt with sex at all, well." While unintentionally hilarious Davison's point was that videogames are still viewed as toys by the mainstream public and "no one wants sex in their toys."
