Last week, I was watching the news and there was a strange but extremely real documental about sex in videogames and music videos. While I was watching it, I remembered when I used to play videogames all day long, without noticing putting attention to that issue.
Videogames started in the 80's and the first controversy was with the videogame Custers Revenge for Atari, where there is a naked man and a sexy woman with pleasure face. This naked man apparently raped this native american woman and he gained points for doing it, so this game was categorized as one of the worst games ever. In the 90's we had the biggest videogame sex symbol, Lara Croft Tom Raider. Now at days, most of the games we play have this sex content that is really obvious, put we don't pay much attention. Although, the poppulation still percieves this games as toys for children, but this games were not made just for children.
But, why so much controversy if there is sex in EVERYTHING, since art, movies, books, music, paintings, for example Picasso, Elvis, Nirvana, American Beauty, etc. The key is to recognize that exporing sexuality is a small but essential part of the development as an artform.
