I will sign nothing of the sort that censors adults from adult content. If you don't want to see it, then make a nudity blur mod to follow nipples or exposed breasts. Far too many adult games have been victim to motherly complaints about nudity or sexual content because they buy a M rated game for their child.
"Sometimes, things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. People are basically good. Honor, courage, virtue mean everything. Power and money, money and power mean nothing. Good always triumphs over evil. Love, True Love Never Dies."
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
This is not very clear, if the USDOD is trying to figure out how to let soldier fire their weapons more, then why did they make the M-16 only auto fire a three bullet burst after Vietnam? It was because too many bullets were wasted because soldier were trigger happy. Which counters you saying they need to figure out how to let the soldiers use their weapons more.
The title says: "Petition - Nudity in Age of Conan"
I say: Yeah! Yeah! Nudidty in Age of Conan, more nudity more more.
Really the world will be a better one if we censor Wars and Violence, but let nudity camp free, its not bad, never it was. Animals go around all the day nude and they are not perverts.
The perversion is on the mind, not in the titties. Really, think about it... think...
m... well.. if we are talking only about a toggle to turn this stuff on or off, well, let him have it. I dont understand why someone wanna play aAoC without nudes and violence but, its a matter of opinion...
you're in the wrong game church goer...Fuck off with your censorship bs
the problem is not the fact that he wants it, the problem is he wants something that is already implemented
I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the most stupidest posts I have read in a while. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about, which is a shame. "Since video games have hit the market, violent crime has decreased massively." LAWL! That is such a bogus pile of [censored]. Whoever told you that is full of it.
According to US Department of Defense, violence amongst the younger generation (male and female) are UP dramatically. Two of the biggest factors in this increase is violence in movies, and, more interestingly (because since the 1970's the percentage has gone up an additional 20%), video games with violence. These have so desensitized the last generation and the next. The USDOD has, since after WWII, been experimenting and trying to figure out a way for US troops to actually fire their weapons more in combat, so there has been an larger increase is violence shown in movies since the 1950s. The next greatest tool to use in desensitizing young people to violence is the video game. The percentages of actual fired rifles was 60% in Vietnam and increased dramatically to 90% in Destert Storm -- WWII it as roughly 35% of rifles used were actually fired.
I would feel safer walking the streets of Bagdad at night than ANY major city in the US, becuase your chances of getting "murdered" are greater here than there. A person would have to be a complete idiot or lived shacked up in a house completely shut off from society and reality to think that violence has gone down over the years, espically due to violent video games.
Also, your "porno" example is totally out of context. You can not asscociate images of porn or nudity and say that since so few are having the urge to rape, it's not bad -- that is totally misconstrued. Rape is not about some person that wants to see the others naked. Rape is the result of a sick perversion with domination.
The "I a Jedi" bit just goes to show how much the USDOD experiment is working and how they are suceeding in brainwashing.
You people seem very loose in giving your opinion and interpretation of studies and statistics without citing your sources. STATE YOUR SOURCES so readers can reach their own opinion. Just blurting out what YOU think the studies says without the citing the sources is meaningless. My guess is, you dont have sources, don't remember, or just heard them somewhere.
agh. this crap again?
Look, if you don't like it, don't play it, ok? no one's forcing you.
See, here is the problem w/ modern America, the Christian fundementalist movements all over the world, and any other jokers that think like this....All the blood and gore, and other kind of atrocities are fine and dandy...but GOD FORBID someone show a little skin, or <GASP> a NIPPLE....OMG how DARE they subject me and/or my kids to these perversions. The people that make this game are pornogrophers and we don't need their nudity and sin here
I really don't understand this kind of thinking, to me, it is totally ass-backwards. I really don't understand how this whole standard even came into being. Well, I guess I do, it's a hold-over from the Victorian era and for whatever reason the fundamentalists have clung to it and continue to force this backwards point of view on the whole of America. Now, I am a father of two young children, and personally I would MUCH MUCH rather them see full-frontal nudity then someone being shot, stabbed, tortured or otherwise murdered, and that goes for any form of media. It really doesn't make any sense, here in America a show that is rated TV-14 (which basically means that it is "ok" for 14yo's and up) can contain all kinds of violence, but if there is a bare ass then the show would be rated TV-M (which means it is only suitable for ages 17+).
It's exactly the opposite over in Europe and much of the rest of the world I hear, and IMO they got it right. The naked human form is not something that is shameful, nor should be reviled and hid while unabaited violence is displayed with regularity and causes much more harm to a great many more people then a bare breast ever could.
As least the OP is somewhat sensible though, and I have to respect him/her for not promoting a petition to have the nudity totally removed from the game, but rather just the option to turn it off. I would never sign such a petition, but he/she certainly has the right to want it to be turned off.

It is harder to find a correlation between the two than it is to just spout off that they are connected. Need Proof?

Yes, those terribly violent games of the 1970s. I dare say that "violent" games are a fairly new creation in the industry.
These have so desensitized the last generation and the next. The USDOD has, since after WWII, been experimenting and trying to figure out a way for US troops to actually fire their weapons more in combat, so there has been an larger increase is violence shown in movies since the 1950s.
No, not "so". There have been connections to the USDOD and the video game industry, but limited influence on commercial games to say the least. As can be read here. You cannot automatically assume that the USDOD is behind the majority of violent games and movies. That's just silly. Do you really think Hollywood is that easily influenced by the government? Aren't they usually seen as a bunch of anti-government evil libs? So how can the government walk in and say, "Hey, your movie doesn't have enough violence. Fix it." And that is what happens? Puh-lease.
The next greatest tool to use in desensitizing young people to violence is the video game. The percentages of actual fired rifles was 60% in Vietnam and increased dramatically to 90% in Destert Storm -- WWII it as roughly 35% of rifles used were actually fired.
Actually, it was as easy as changing the shape of targets from circles to human-shaped that drove the percentage up the first time. The military has used non-commercial video games to increase this percentage further. But again, this is not what we play at home. Far, far different from it. And I think we would know the difference, because, yeah, it is THAT different.

Yes, John McCain felt the same way about walking through Baghdad in broad daylight. Here is a picture.
The "I a Jedi" bit just goes to show how much the USDOD experiment is working and how they are suceeding in brainwashing.
Yeah, I blame George Lucas and his collusion with the USDOD for the brainwashing of our society. It was a silly statement, not a part of a conspiracy theory, ya dork.
Oh, and what a horrible font. Stop it.
