FOX NEWS Mass Effect Sex Debate

[GIANTMIDGET97]

Ok just to clear this up...... Spookiez you are a douche bag, so shut ur mouth, there's no reason to call that nano suit user kid a cunt or gay it only proves that that's the way you veil yourself and nano suit user, just ignore the Internet trolls that don't know how to speak proper English, just embrace that you are ultimately smarter than that asswipe and keep your chin up

[rinfitz]

I really wanted to buy this game. And im a girl, just saying not only guys play first person shooter. But i got concerned when i saw what it was rated m for. Thats just wrong.

[GiveMeViral]

@rinfitz I dont think you realize what the game is like. You can be a girl in it and have romances with guys. It doesn't mean you have sex with them, and you don't take your clothes off... One time you see for literally a second an ass of a character IF and ONLY IF you choose to do the scene. You can deny it easily. Please don't listen to fox. It's a great game that teaches you morals by having consequences for your decisions. Every decision effects the story. It's not focused on sex AT ALL

[Ostalius]

Who seems to be acting more like a child here? The adult been like: OMG! we can see a belly button! Rate it A for adult only! or the child been like: Damn! a But crack... Can I play now?

Seriously!

[Ostalius]

your researche say that no guys can make the difference between what is real and what not real?! I meen, come on! Thats a pure lie! XD

[Prankpatrolninja]

"Ah full nudity" we have dismissed this claim"

[TheErrahtik]

Full nudity? It was PG-13 at best. I do love it when they do their research.

[mrchrisanolliewollie]

how is it graphic?

[Wotanraven]

I was surprised too, thought it was PC bullshit, then I searched for more info :

This is a subplot which no player is obliged to take. You can chose to be white or black, male or female, and either hetero, gay, or zoophile (you can have sex with hot aliens :D). These romantic subplots are optional, you don't have to take any, you chose what sexuality you want, and they're short.

Not to mention that the game is rated M for mature players, so kids shouldn't have access to it in the first place.

[scottjl]

oh my god. "being a parent is hard"! well lady, maybe you shouldn't be having kids! it's called responsibility. sheesh. why do stupid people reproduce?

[DragonNexus]

"Er, hello? I wrote a book? That means I know more than you 83"

"Have you actually played the game and know what it's all about?"

"........I WROTE A BOOK, DAMMIT!"

[jaisonx12]

I hate when people go up in arms when they haven't even played the game. The analyst even admits to not playing Mass Effect. People should seriously do their homework and actually play the game before they get all doom and gloom about it.

[DaylanDeAngelo]

Geoff pooped on her life.

[Suksass]

My 2game at the age of 5-6 was doom. Strange I seem to have turned iut just fine. And thats considering the fact that I raided my parents porn colection at age 12.

I really hate all thouse studies. What kind of retards are making them?

[thawhtet8]

Hey guys, there's gonna be gay sex in Mass Effect 3?

P.S- Why Commander Shepherd have to be Torchwood?

[Marzbarz007]

MASS EFFECT 3. FUCK YEAH.

[thawhtet8]

@Marzbarz007 Now the fans are going Fox News on Gay Shephard.

[Suksass]

@thawhtet8 They are?

[MyJcw]

Well it's good to know that you can always trust FOX news to tell you what isn't the truth.

[Boniface17]

Arseholes

[Goatmon]

"Luke Skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas"

....what the fuck.

[MissPinkytheDog]

Extreamly disapointing. They didnt even let him explain fully about ME

[DarrenHalesing]

Guess u weren't there for the first two fucking lackies

[DerMitDemBlunt]

and no shit was given that day ...

[remember2brush]

bullshit



[rnalithe00]

Stupid hypocrites. The whole reason why Fox News has their 20 viewers under 65 years old is because they use sex appeal. Nearly every one of their segments has at least one hot bimbo who can't think for herself.

[SinDawg030]

HOOOOOOO boy Fox News is NOT gonna be happy about Mass Effect 3 . . . *grabs popcorn*

[naB4o0o]

Parents who keep their young kids away from sex, ruin their lives. Kids like that end up 50 year-old virgins, because they think it's bad.

[BmGxRaze]

Oh shut the fuck up FOX news you fucking view whores

[Horganshwag]

Video games distract us from porn.

[Chayrsone]

The rage! The rage that builds inside me!

[Freekables]

Can we start a movement? Cooper needs to pay, she's a fucking moron.

[torbonator]

This made me feel sick, in the UK there would never be a feature so biased and misleading as this. I don't understand how they can call themselves a news channel it's something I'd expect from an entertainment show. It disgusts me..... and they seem to be forgetting the internet is made up of a lot more worse things for kids to see and interact with than the side of a blue tit.

[xXLonexWolf23Xx]

Fuck your research, play a game before you judge it your ignorant pieces of shit.

[Keyatzin]

The funniest part of the debate:

They showed almost the ENTIRE scene.

[lilblake90]

really....last time I played ME i didn't get to decide whether i wanted to do her in the kitchen or the shower.

[Raiden1091]

fox_news.avi

seriously, i would never expect anything more from this gang of retards that calls themselves a "news corporation".

[laifalbert]

"Let me at him"

She happens to be protecting your precious little ego.

[ZzZzDylanZzZz]

Adult stupidity at it's finest...

[Acharged]

my god. this has made me sick. curse you fox news. all i see comin out of there mouths is absolute bullshit.

[technoraptor87]

Full digital nudity?

Yes, seeing ten seconds of side-boob or even side-ass is /horrible/.

The fact is, these things are optional, and not a big deal. Movies nowadays show full on 'private' areas, and no one makes a big deal out of it.

You don't want to see Shep and Liara having a mature, grown up relationship? Fine. You don't have to. The game only triggers these things if you pursue it.

TLDR; don't be butthurt, the sex is optional.

[alexwhitey69]

OHH shit side boobs the worst thing in video games hahaha

[c0mbineelite]

Guy at 6:09 was reasonable.

[tontsa911]

Only in America?

[Raiden1091]

@tontsa911 Only on conservative news channels. (aka all news channels)

[EnkiduV3]

@Raiden1091 In actuality there is only one conservative news channel, and that's Fox News. The rest of them are extremely liberal.

[DEFxRECON]

Side of an alien boob lol

[MrHALOprince]

@ArCSelki37 only female ones...

[JawaPunter]

The moral of the story is... SHUT THE FUCK UP! IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR KIDS TO PLAY IT, FUCKING BE A REAL PARENT! ACTUALLY STUDY THE CONTENT YOU BUY FOR YOUR KIDS BEFORE BUYING THEM!

[ArCSelkie37]

god fucking psychologists talk so much bullshit

[KONDZIOREK07]

Standard american bullshit...

[rthomas566]

Wow they really don't know what they're talking about

[rnalithe00]

@rthomas566 That's Fox News for you.

[WerewolfOfTheWater]

The concern about how women in video games are portrayed IS a valid one, but the sex in this game is centered around relationships, you don't just go around boning alien chicks for the hell of it. Just because sex in a game merely exists doesn't automatically mean it's portraying women badly. There are some games that are pretty sexist and female video game fans sometimes don't feel included, but that doesn't mean all games are bad.

[reavessname]

@WerewolfOfTheWater EXACTLY its the same as in a blockbuster movie, we will us Avatar as an example the "hero" doesn't going around having sex he has a relationship with some one and that it leads to it. No one was like there is full nudity in "Blockbuster movie" OMG!

[WerewolfOfTheWater]

What's so horrible about sex? Shaming people over harmless sex but being just fine with all the violence in the game is just asinine.

[MrToadums]

ARGH MORONS!!!!

[CaribDevist]

@Dashiki1217 I agree wholeheartedly.

[DoctorMontalban]

The ignorance per second is astounding. 

[TheRogueWildChild]

LOL... they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Silly Fox News... try reporting facts some time.

[rarolland]

you mean i have to act like a parent and do parent things this is an outrage

[jackeroosundown]

This frustrates me.....

[Dashiki1217]

fox news should be illegal, i can't understand the amount of bullshit coming out of this channel. Anyone working for them should be burned as well

[AngeleiaKenobi]

Full nudity? Really? Woman, get your facts right or get out of the reporting business

[searingburrito]

I have to pause the video every 15 seconds to keep myself from strangling my pillow TO DEATH.

[searingburrito]

It also caused an increase in rape!

[grayboy964]

one word is needed "PARENTS"

[XNoNames20X]

fuck the university of Maryland

...

[PSWii360onBaSS]

This makes me mad, how cooper says some study has been going on, and says that teenage boys cannot tell the difference between real life and a video game. That right there is utter BULLSHIT!! I'm currently 17, and old enough to play the games I play, but I've been playing them since I was 8. I have never once thought that I can cast spells, steal cars, or get killed and I respawn some where out yonder. The children and teens shes talking about are some sheltered ass children.

[Linkinparkfan33]

If your parents don't want you having it then they shouldn't let you. If you're parents don't want you to see something bad on the internet, then they should stop paying their internet bill immediately. Simple as that. You can avoid the games your children play but you can't avoid bad things on the internet. Theyre all over.

Fuck off fox

[PillarofSmite]

Burn in hell Fox news!!! Burn like a pile of old tires you plutocratic pompous bastards! Your anti-video game propaganda campaign is nothing but lies and you damn well know it too! So take your soccer mom/red neck fear mongering elsewhere you insufferable pricks.

Fair and balanced my ass...

[XeroGees]

MUST. HAVE. SEX. WITH. CARRUS.

[TheOmega099]

Jeff rules cooper is a bitch

[TheBlackGears]

"What happened to Atari, Pinball and Pacman?" Uhhhh, what happened to film reels and sitting around the radio for entertainment. We advanced technologically, get the fuck over it.

[mariofan000]

i hope you get captured and liquifide by the collectors Cooper..

[SaintZ42]

Thanks for reminding me of my rage kotaku!

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my rendition of Vigil from Mass Effect!

[iampr1mus]

"Darling, I gotta go with the research and the research says that kids can't differentiate between real life and video games."

is this bitch stupid?

[Adragen]

Yeah, it's not easy being a parent nowadays, so instead of manning up and putting on your big girl pants you go after the media depicting what you don't want your kids to see.  Fuckin lazy parenting.

[anthony0397]

Should stop drinking work productively all the time, never get divorced even if you are miserable, never fight, and watch only pg13 movies as an adult

[anthony0397]

Lol dumbasses, I agree with 3wrf, using tir logic you

[MrRandomguy781]

Commander shepard will remember this in ME3 and will shoot you himself.

[3wrf]

With this kind of logic, you better stop selling wine and other forms of alcohol because you dont supervise your kids all the time or ban adult movies in case your unsupervised kid finds an old copy of Jaws, it encourages violence against shark you know. And ban nature programmes if they show animals having sex in case your little darling kids watching it, go out and start humping each other. Or ban women wearing lipstick because it encourages sexuality in little girls. Fuck off Cunts

[Monkeyulize]

I hope the government bans everything so parents don't have to work anymore. It's so hard being a parent ;_;

[chaseduran]

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my least favorite group of people on earth.

[TheDazro]

@chaseduran May the reapers fuck them with a laser first.

[DavyJones777]

"It makes being a parent a much harder job."

Raising a child has ALWAYS been a really fucking hard job. It's only made more difficult by the choices you make to exclude yourself from their lives to pursue other things... like a career on the most laughably bad news network on American television.

[Byebyegayboy]

Cooper needs to get laid and then maybe she wouldn't be such a cunt.

[carbom2010]

How far does Fox plan on getting complaining about video games and the children they have no control over? Microsoft makes parental controls, which parents, if they want, to use it to block access for their children to play certain games. Most parents, howerver, don't care. They're just games. Fox still does not understand that the world today needs fun for children, and adults. Which is why the game bears the "M" rating. Don't want your kids playing it? Don't buy it. Simple as that.

[Yejo]

wow those small minded Americans at fox really are well informed and are truly protecting us as mindless freaking planet walkers

[REMoyen]

"I'm not sure why it did not get an Adult Only rating, the highest rating it can have. So first of all this board that rates them need to have their heads examined." Sorry Fox News, but you are the ones that need to be 'examined in the head.'

[paulandmako]

Fox still manages to amaze me. Fucktards.

[pooton]

I have a question for you how many men did have to sleep with to become a news anchor journalist?

[EindacorDS]

Thanks Kotaku, for making me relive this.

[Ruzmanga]

I forgot how mad this video makes me.

[raptor152]

I pass judgement of things I never even took the time to play, how do these people make it onto TV?

[MasterKiraX]

Mass Effect is all about choice! The player pursues a romantic relationship if they want it! If your 13 year old son wants to bang an Asari then your 13 year old kid is FUCKED UP! Oh yeah and the sex scenes in either Mass Effect games are about as graphic as the sex scene in Twilight Breaking Dawn, and guess what, Twilight is meant for 12 year old girls! Are you saying that girls can watch sex scenes but boys can't? Fuck you.

[TigranTheMetz]

@MasterKiraX Your 13 year old isn't fucked up. It's just a part of the game that they want to experience.

[Clarrisani]

A perfect example of the right wing agenda of Fox News.

[SocialStigma50]

I like how she said 'DARLIN', I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO WITH THE RESEARCH.' when he told her straight-up that it's not a MANDATORY FUCKING PART OF THE GAME.

These dumbasses have never picked up a video game in their life, so they view it as this bad, foreign evil that they'll never educate themselves on. But they act like Mass Effect isn't even a game with a plot, they act like it's just a GIANT sex sim.

I wanna bomb everyone at Fox News sometimes. It blows my mind that people can be so stupid.

[MrWallas79]

Jeff: "Have you ever played Mass Effect?"

Cooper: "Haha, no."

Then shut your mouth lady, you have no right criticizing something you know nothing about.

[TheDazro]

@MrWallas79 No, no no - she looked on the website!

[Yourinmyscope2]

I think it's a requirement that you dropped out of high school to work at FOX News

[RobotubeGames]

"Whatever happened to Atari and Pinball and Pacman?" she says. 30 years ago, people were on TV saying "We need to protect kids from Atari and Pinball and Pacman!"

[sidrolf]

These ignorant fools shot down the Spike TV dude, internet, it's time for REVENGE!!!

[dmitrytarabanov]

Jeff Kelley, you're my star! And what are these other stupid dudes? What is TV?!

[MLRAlien051]

Those fuckheads said it themselves- What the fuck do they think they know about modern gaming? (Except Jeff) There is a very intensive process to even get to the possibility of having sex in ME. And "Kids can't tell video games from real life" is downright bullshit. One bitch couldn't even name fucking PONG correctly! And AO? That is barely different from M, and ratings are SUGGESTIONS in the US. What the fuck is this, Nazi Fucking Germany?!?!

[subJefferson]

These people need sex in their life. Fuck stress, have sex.

[TheOrangeAlex]

What fucking research?Tell me your source lady.

[TheOrangeAlex]

M for mature is 17+ I'm pretty sure 17 year olds know how to handle sex.If kids play it and get messed up it's the parents problem.

[Clarrisani]

@TheOrangeAlex But don't you know? Fox News are huge advocates of celibacy.

[atmtensorsredsplanb]

People are stupid

[beanh17]

-parental control.

[beanh17]

Blame the parents for letting the kids play this game. There is something called parents

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my renditions of Myst IV, Jade Empire, and Mass Effect!

[GameReviewsUnlimited]

Poor Geoff, I have never seen him so pissed off before lol

[Tomonator7]

God forbid people take responsibility. Why don't more parents put things in context and explain things to children instead of letting them play and then getting pissed off at gaming companies for not making more child-friendly content? You don't need to hover over children all the time, give them some credit and try to explain things instead of trying to ban them outright. If they're too young to get it, why are you even letting them play in the first place?

...fox is transparently conservative

[DEFxRECON]

The gamin expert owned that bitch

[drakofiara666]

MOTHER FICKER WHORE LISEN TO THIS

Mass Effect dosent show full digital nudity and sex, ITS JUST PARTIAL, YOU DONT EVEN SEE A NIPPLE. In my country in any hour of the day you can see movies at tv with that tipe of sex.And you cant control the interaction during the sex scene bitch. So before you open yor mouth wich you use to suck it for yor husband MOTHER FUCKING DOCUMENT YORSELF!

[XmykXoxsXlong]

Sexbox?

I aint gon lie.....

Id buy that

[roblox13337]

fuck ur "research"

[XgamerlogicX]

If they got the chance they would give every game a ao rating cause they are so ingnorante even the cheerful little big planet I wish they would relize that news is worse cause its real life. there experts are wrong anyway I watched underworld when I was like 3 or 4 im fine I watched residient evil and im fine thier experts know crap about kids

[tanker97948]

Pffft research she says but as she played you can choose to be nice or and ass to the AI fox news need to lay off and talk about the stupid shit they complained about again

[obewan777]

Fox news is bought and paid for by corrupt rich people. They think you are stupid. Wake up america. Ron Paul 2012. This country needs an overhaul

[KingdomSlayah]

Faith in Humanity lost...

[EvoWacko]

Bravo Geoff "Claps" BRAVO.

[MrMoterhed]

Leave it to fox news to get everyone needlessly in panic mode.

[bbyrd1487]

There's worse things shown on TV and movies than you will see in video games ...

[Vaskadar]

@bbyrd1487 Yeah, like Fox News.

[Chief70]

What an idiot that guy is. If you can't get a princess out of her room to the next level, you'll never be able to get to that sex scene in Mass Effect. And I don't expect your kid will be any smarter to do the same.

[Mr9TalesFox]

americans

[AJThePwnapple]

Wait...you actually have to LOOK at the box for the rating?

And...oh my god...you have to actually be a well-informed PARENT?

Holy shit, that's too much work for me, government, please ban all the games I don't like.

[UntoTheBreach24]

Ah, yes, "video game censorship." The petty and biased argument that video games allegedly corrupt society with sex and violence.

We are far beyond dissmissing that claim. Fuck you, FOX News. Fuck you and your fucking psychologists.

I mean, really? An AO rating for 30 seconds of skin?

And this claim that women in games are for nothing more than sex. Anyone with an attention span can tell that the women in Mass Effect have more badassery and depth of character than a lot of people in real life.

[Zas379]

I can not imagine who INCREDIBLY stupid and ignorant these people are. Do some research on the thing you're going to talk about.

[GabXriel8]

Forget what I said they are all ignorant

[GabXriel8]

That woman is completely ignorant

[HayweeB79]

Most games make the female character sexy... most gamer geeks play these games for that reason! Get a life...games should be games not perverse bullshit! Google porn do your business then go have a near life experience...

[kman13131]

@HayweeB79

What? Could you please make a coherent post?

[greenplaystations]

oh, Fox News........Fox News Fox News Fox News.....go hire Hank Williams Jr and leave the video game industry to a less stupid media outlet. On a side note: 10,283 people work for Fox News.

[FallOfMind]

What the FUCK is this bullshit!?

[PaintballLyndon]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Video games don't cause people to be violent, LAG MAKES PEOPLE VIOLENT!

[Big0Crush0]

so much ignorance

[TheRedfire555]

"Se"Xbox?? lol

[onemorthng]

Google "fox news is...." and see what the suggestions are

[android18192]

I'm female and when I played through this game (and #2) many a time, I didn't once feel objectified. The sex scene isn't even a freaking sex scene, I thought it was a very lovely, tender moment.

I look forward to me3!!

[Rakknar]

Fox News? Misrepresenting reality?! STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES!

[bobchrisman]

i am pretty sure i can tell when something is a video game and when something is real

[DifferentNow]

fucking females, ouu I m not an object

crycrycry

[Rapt0rXx]

Wtf is this about ??? Are they seriously talking about sex in mass effect ??? About that 30 secon long cutscene which barely shows anything ??? Funny that nobody gives a shit about sex and violence in movies (not that i was against them). This obession of destroing gaming industry by some psychological/social '"experts" is insane.

[kman13131]

@Rapt0rXx

They're not complaining about the sex and violence in movies because the parent company that owns Fox News makes those movies.

[HaZe009CHIMP]

OH MY GOD! Listening to these short sighted idiots makes my jaw drop. Its fucking hilarious! People like them are a dying breed i tell you! Also i wanna beat the shit out of that cooper lawrence bitch. GO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND A SANDWITCH BITCH INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT "WOMEN AS OBJECTS" IN EVERY FUCKING THING YOU SEE!!!!!

[TheElitegamer23]

These people are very oblivious to video games in general and really shouldn't be doing a news story on something they know so little about

[MNCProductionFilms]

Okay, hear me out. I've played the ME series and read every book and am excited for ME3 coming soon. I read some references and jokes referring to this fox news video about how they took this out of proportion and they are right. However, many of these people saying fox is evil for saying this are the ones who are blowing it out of proportion. They have not control over any games you play so relax. Ignore them.

[haloboyFNFAL]

Ps it's not the Internet it's the extranet

[haloboyFNFAL]

Dudes don't just play games

Ps must kill fox must kill fox

[AshBayford]

This chick is so stupid, she has no idea what she is talking about and doesn't even give the guy a chance to explain the game...

[NASSterner]

a.you can only be with one women or man and its a single seen in the game

b.the protagonist in the game has a selectable gender there is a romance option with a male character

c. it is not a simple choice to have sex with the character or to not it requires a large in game time investment and the correct dialog choices to be able to romance.

d. mass effect is nothing compared to the witcher 2 in terms of xxx content

[jspike96]

That bitch is fucking retarted! Video games don't make kids violent; I played golden eye, and later on counter strike, and halo. According to them, I should be shooting up a mall or something. :|

[HyperCl4w]

Fox wasted 6 minutes

[HyperCl4w]

Fox wasted 6 minutes

[CrAzYHaLo156]

Having your head examined for not makeing mass effect a A rated game?????? Wtf it's not even that violent and from what I have played there is know sexuality involved at all all you video game cridicts need to go jump in a hole.

[raxas6x]

Violent games makes kids violent?

So does playing monopoly make kids millionaires?

[Redstriker7]

So is this how SOPA and PIPA started

[GxAccountsxSucks]

Fox. Is. Retarded.

[Flamesofthunder]

fox doesnt like liberals

I dont like liberals

But i dont like fox

[1227leochin]

thx for Fox advertising for Xbox.. haha now imma get this game..

[RoyalEmpyre16]

Seeing my moms underwear at 13 damaged me more than these games did

[halo4life090]
