Mass Effect is Pornographic, Apparently |

The editors at CNSNews have published an article that blasts BioWare's Mass Effect for featuring "graphic" premarital sexual intercourse and homosexuality.
A new, best-selling video game, Mass Effect, made for the Microsoft Xbox 360 console, allows the characters to engage in explicitly graphic sexual intercourse. Some game experts and pro-family analysts say Mass Effect is marketed to young kids and presents a moral danger to them and that the companies making and marketing the game should be prosecuted.
The game is "clearly marketed to minors," Cathy Ruse, a lawyer and senior fellow for legal studies at the Family Research Council, told Cybercast News Service.
"There are cultural implications for feeding porn to kids in this way," and "when you do this, you're teaching them a distorted lesson about human sexuality and human dignity. These are lessons that they will take with them into adulthood and ultimately society," Ruse said.
Porn? Calls for prosecution? Are you kidding me? Aside from a split-second showing of a naked backside, I thought the romance cutscenes were pretty tame.
