>>5188517>>5188699You're mixing up quality with appeal. The things you are referencing that are "the reason why people play games" (competition, progression, etc) aren't what makes violent video games violent video games, they're what make those products good. They are instead analogus the art and scenario quality in loli doujins. For example:
>Would GTA V be fun if you couldn't lose? Would it be fun if you could kill everyone without any risk of the police killing you? Maybe for a short while, but I think it would get boring pretty quickly, despite being very violent.Would a lolicon like a loli doujin if it was stick figures, or drawn by someone with arthritis? Maybe for a short while, but I think it would get boring pretty quickly, despite being a loli doujin.
"Loli's" aren't what make loli doujins readable, just as 'violence' isn't what makes violent videogames playable. Lightning round time:
>Changing the loli into and adult would completely change the genre and the audience you attract.Same with violence in videogames. For a lot of people, something like DOOM Eternal wouldn't have nearly the same appeal if you took out the blood, guts, glorykills and general violent bells and whistles that deliver on the fantasy of the doomslayer. Or the GTA protag. Or the cowboy in RDR2.Just listen to how CS players talk about the aesthetic of Valorant for example.
>child killing games, granny strangulation games, man killing games, immolation games. This is what gaming would look like if it were equivalent to porn.Except that this is already the case for videogames, just not in that direction. The reason why videogame categories aren't that minute and narrow is because there's far variables at play in a videogame than in a porno.99% of porn is just 2 people fucking, with variations being on what they're wearing, who they look like, what scenario they're in and what position are they using. Videogames have entire plotlines, large, explorable playspaces, settings that are much larger than a single room, etc. The scope just isn't the same, but once you categories videogames for what they're ACTUALLY categorized by: People absolutely like or dislike fantasy games, even with identical story/gameplay/whatehaveyou, just on the merit that it's fantasy. If every porno was an entire movie franchise, believe me, they would be categorized this way as well.
>You can even replace the humans you're killing with robots (as long as it fits in the setting and mechanics) and it still worksExcept that's the entire crux of this argument. There are some people who would stay for solely the gameplay aspect, without the killing, just as there are some people who would stay for the positions/scenarios without the loli. Yeah, you're going to attract different audiences if you change the catogories, and this applies to videogames as well as porn.
