Conservative blogger Kevin McCullough is trashing Mass Effect again for it's “explicitly graphic sexual intercourse.” I'm sick of this guy and the ignorant shit that comes out of his mouth. In an article posted yesterday on Townhall.com, McCullough had this to say:
"If a pre-teen, teen, young adult, or adult male plays such a game in which the women DO submit without choice, are made to appear as Barbie streetwalkers, and perform whatever act can be imagined, what’s to stop that same male from assuming that the women in his “other world” shouldn’t be forced to do the same.
…And because of the digital chip age in which we live - “Mass Effect” can be customized to sodomize whatever, whoever, however, the game player wishes.
With it’s “over the net” capabilities virtual orgasmic rape is just the push of a button away."
It's obvious he hasn't played the game or he would know how long it takes to get those girls in bed. He makes Mass Effect sound like some kinky sex game that comes with every 13 year old boy's Happy Meal.
"...the new video game that one company is marketing to fifteen year old boys."
"It’s called “Mass Effect” and it allows its players… to engage in the most realistic sex acts ever conceived. One can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to “engage” and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game “persons” hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of…"
The most realistic sex acts ever conceived!? What the FUCK!?
Actually, the breast sizes in Mass Effect are quite small, and non-customizable. It's ok though, because I'm really more of an ass man, and my female Shepard has got some junk in her trunk, if you know what I mean.

What the fuck?
Wow, so the whole "get your facts straight before writing an article" thing never really came into play here, eh?
"Orgasmic Rape" would be a cool band name.
WHAT THE FUCK
That's just... lies!?
H-H-H-H-HOLY SHIT!
I HAVE to play this game now? I cant even wait for the PC version. Games companies should send this man royalties. You cant buy advertising like this.
