Sony takes their recent stance on sexual content to the next level by implementing new stricter guidelines for what is 'acceptable' on their platform. They blame the #metoo movement and gamergate, and of course think of the children!
Sony is implementing stricter rules on sexual content in its PlayStation video games, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
"Sony is concerned the company could become a target of legal and social action," a Sony representative told the Journal.
Whatever the exact rules, some developers aren't happy. There have been instances where developers had to cover up characters using light rays, smoke or similar effects, and there's a fear this will curb creativity among developers. It's not always clear what will cross the line, either. Creators may have to spend extra production time altering cutscenes and characters, even if they thought a game was relatively safe.

Sony wants to be wokest of the woke it seems, but they claim it is only out of fear of legal action. I didn't know videogame characters were threatening legal action.
A always take it for granted that sexual moralizing in public is a sign of hypocrisy or worse, and often a desire to perform the very act that is being condemned ...Christopher Hitchens
