[Race Play]

Yes it is an opinion. No not going to subject my ear drums to rap music to find an example though I am sure they are out there. But those sims you talk about tend to be rp sims(no not all). The people playing there go there to play out the gangsta lifestyle and yes I do know people that go to them. Some are black some are white.

I just don't get why you see it as a problem and thats what I am trying to work out

And while we’re at it what does a redneck sim have to do with race play? I didn’t know there were sims devoted to rednecks, could you link me to one?

type trailer trash or redneck into places search you will find a few. I dont get why its an issue to you that some women like playing with black guys that follow a rap culture oriented style of rp. I don't honestly even see it as race play. It is merely people living their fantasies. Don't know about where you live but where I live black guys with white women and vice versa are pretty common

I never said it did represent all black people. The op was about race play, I was responding to that. But since you think those sims portray a rap culture style can you name for me one rap song that talks about the rapper raping and abusing women, white women in particular? I’ll wait....just give me one.

again....the analogy doesn’t work.

As I don't listen to rap unless I can help it can't give you any titles. Are you really claiming Rap (or at least a fair amount of it) is quite mysogynistic and tend to glorify violence towards women. Also see what I mentioned in my subsequent post

[Race Play]

Do you have a problem with sims that portray the white trailer trash style?

Do you think it is any different?

If so how?

Do you think those sims are saying all white people are like this?

Really? Is that how you see that?

Yes I see it as those sims are portraying the rap culture style. Do they claim to represent all black people or is that just what you are reading into it?

The difference here is one is a little ignorant and  contains about 5 minutes of banter. The other deals with people making WHOLE sims depicting a whole race as cromagnon looking troglodytes with extra long *****es  who prey on women or are women that are completely, dominant and hate men.

 

Those sims you mention while not to my taste merely depict a stereotype promoted by rap artists, artists that are mostly black it has to be said. Not saying its right to do merely saying that it not necessarily a depiction coming from white people stereotyping a different race.

The sims don't say this is all blacks they merely portray that aspect

Because it reminds me of so many people I meet

The problem people have I suspect with your statement is the old thin end of the wedge thinking. You don't agree with whatever it was and think it should be banned. Once that happens then someone else comes along and finds something else they think should be banned and the precedent is now set. Just about any kink you can think of will have a band of morally outraged campaigners up in arms.

The acts they are rping are consensual, they are adults, no one is really being hurt.Repeated studies have found no causal links between violence in video games and real life violence. Banning it here will not stop those people having those fantasies it will just remove a safe outlet to live them out.
