Mass Effect lesbian scene leads to ban in Singapore

[HEXUS]

What a strange world we live in, eh? Games get banned in different countries for all sorts of reasons, but is this the first time a mainstream videogame has been banned for portraying Lesbianism?

But is the lesbian scene in Mass Effect really that offensive that it should lead to a ban? I've watched it a few times and I have to say I didn't reach for the tissues once

Singapore for you

[gtech]

yeah you know how clean that place is.

...it doesn't conjure up images of two videogame characters, of which one is an alien, having a quick peck and caressing each others thighs,

I only read that far

"'Mass Effect' features realistic content and interactions in the context of the science-fiction story line,"

How can it be realistic content when its got an Alien in it, do we know what Alien's look like, do we know there bi-pedal like us, do we know they speak English, do we know they are blue, do we know they have distinct sexual characteristics.

No, we know bugger all about Aliens because were not in contact with them, so how can it be realistic when one of the characters involved is entirely made up...

How about in a million years when were all spacebound and crap we get some alien culture try to ban a game because it shows two characters holding hands and that particular alien cultures sex organs happen to be in there hands...

Complete tosh..

I've seen the video and to be honest I cannot see what the fuss is all about.

I've seen far better or should that be worse scenes in neighbours that are more kinky than this..... and no it didn't involve Madge and Harold

MMmm... was it with those two sister twins that used to be in it? Beth and someone else

[Lee @ SCAN]

Yeah Beth and Analise....

*drool*

My god even I remember that, and wasn't that about 10 years ago or more?

I think that just goes to show... that maybe there is actually a need for MORE lesbianism in modern gaming. Perhaps its the games without hot lesbo action, that should be banned.

[TooNice]

Maybe it's not about the same gender sex that troubles the authorities but the human/alien relationship that, if we stretch it, is akin to bestiality? xD *Pause*. Or not.
