Proposal for new tag for "Offensive" mods(instead of removing them)

[ModofDuty]

Guns, violence, sex implied or depicted or real has been sadly glorified throughout human history (Guns recently in Dark Age era) and I know there is nothing I can do about requesting to remove depictions of those without bringing attention to it and even then, people will just go "You have no logic. End of discussion."

 

I am talking about possibly the worst humanity has ever done and that's depicting children being hurt and yes I do find it offensive of the possibility of Playable Children in Mature Rated games because it opens up nefarious uses and what if some kids who visit Nexus downloads these mods and grow up with the mindset of not caring about depictions of children in video games or any media being abused?

 

THIS is the bigger picture I am talking about and I am extremely thankful for Nexus putting a ban on depictions of underage children. Took far too long to enact that. Nexus has to chance to take part in ridding these mods with their possibilities. Sure there is no law against violent depictions of children but at one point, there were no laws against disgusting sexual abusive actions and then when people like me with families took action to ban such things, we won.

 

I want the same thing for violent depictions of children and no matter how long it takes, I absolutely believe it should be just as illegal as sexual depictions of children. Everybody being mum and tight lipped on this is appalling. This is a horrible gateway possibility and it's sad that only family oriented people like me, a mother with a 10 year old daughter and a wonderful supportive husband, have the open-mindedness to put a focus on issues that should never be allowed.

 

Nexus is a start and should not allow possible tastless and illegal mods the chance to seep out and that is something to rightfully be offended about and is something tagging it's possible prerequisites as offensive (related directly or indirectly) will not do anything. Only removing, banning, and reporting to the proper authorities should be mandatory.

I am not trying to police peoples' thoughts

WRONG, that is exactly what you are trying to do - because you personally disagree with something that an overwhelming majority of the people here do not disagree with you may want to rethink your position.

 

There is a HUGE difference between killable children and pedophilia - which somehow seem to be linked in your mind. As for playable children, many of our members are 13. And they may have a problem relating to a 25 year old protagonist in their game.

 

When a dragon swoops in and flames a group of game characters ( These are NOT people, but more like characters in a novel) should the 10 year old be immune to the flames while his 16 year old sister is killed? THAT is what killable children means. It does not mean a player will automatically run rampant and kill every game child just because they can. Although some immature players may.

 

Children are people too. How old does an imaginary person have to be before it is OK to kill them in a game? 10? 14? 18? 21? 95? never? How about in a novel? Should novels where children die be banned from publication because YOU don't like it?

 

I have 4 adult children and 10 grandchildren. They are precious to me. But they are also not characters in a fantasy game but real people that are not affected by mods in a game.

 

Now because of your narrow mindedness ( you got that exactly backwards also) I will lock this topic because YOU insisted on taking it off topic in a way that was not intended by the OP.
