Shame Free Gaming #2: Are fantastical body shapes a new concept?
For the last 30,000 years humans have been creating art with fantastical and unrealistic looking humans. So why do so many people and institutions see this as a modern problem that requires censorship?

People fantasize in ideals... We get enough of reality on a daily basis.
Personally my favorite games are those that have a wider variety of body types...the cookie cutter barbie models get so boring...
It's 'funny' that pornography still consider somehow taboo when it's pretty much the oldest form of communication in pretty much every medium... drawing, sculpture, film, internet...gaming And the 'Worlds oldest profession' is so ostrasized...

It's kind of crazy to think there were probably people engaging in erotic role-play hundreds of thousands of years before anyone figured out agriculture. Regarding the "there are card games?" comment. In addition to the many video games that have card mechanics, I know of at least two adult CCGs that got physical print runs. XXXenophile and Furoticon.
