This is an important question. The average age of game players is 35. The largest demographic is 18 - 40 year olds. Gamers are adults. It's not pearl-clutching about sex. It's a refusal to allow healthy discussions of sex and intimacy to occur.

Listening to the latest @playwatchlisten.bsky.social episode at the gym, and my headphones ran out of battery just after Alanah asked Mike "Are you into goth girls?"

What a cliffhanger!
