There's nothing particularly wrong with there being nc-17 or M rated voice acted scenes in appropriately rated games

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

If you don't want to act them out, then simply don't. You have a union to back you up

That's not always the case in the moment.

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

...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 ๐Ÿคท

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
