[QUOTE="TanithT, post: 5949067, member: 87695"] They might respond that way if I actually said that, yes. I don't personally think that even the more extreme examples of such art in mass market RPG's are the most explicit thing kids could be exposed to. It's not an issue I spend a lot of time worrying about, because I don't have kids and I don't game with kids. It's a reasonable point to think about, if you do want your game to be kid-friendly. It's okay if you don't, though. I don't. I brought it up not to say that OMG, our hobby needs to be more kid friendly, but as a corollary to the "consenting adult" criteria for when sexuality is okay, mostly to state that even though sex is good, there are some places that it isn't a great idea to have it. You seem to have really focused on the "minors" aspect, and that's not really where I'm personally coming from. But, it is true that you absolutely can find R-rated, softporn type art in mass market RPG material. I'm not sure who you think I'm accusing because of that, though. Maybe the publishers, but if they are marketing to adults, it's a non issue in that respect. I'd do the same if I was the GM. Unless there were actually young minors at the table and the DM placed something extremely explicit in their view, that isn't something I would be interested in doing. I've never personally seen that happen, and I don't really think it is happening. [/QUOTE]
