So depicting violence is fine because people don't do those violent things. Except people will do violent things (like Jan 6) but when that happens it's because they they saw a lap dance being depicted?

Strawman? False equivalence? This is a pretty bad argument.

First, I know this is the internet so everyone jumps to extremes. But can we please try to keep some level of nuance on the fediverse? And avoid personal attacks maybe??

I am an avid gamer, and have always wanted to believe violent video games don't affect players. But the vast majority of studies indicate either some level of being desensitized or increase in aggression.

So depicting violence isn't great, especially (or maybe primarily) for kids.

Seeing a lap dance isn't bad at all. But objectifying women and unequal representation is not great. Sex, OK. Sexism, not OK. Hopefully we can agree on that at least?
