Yes and the larger picture given was how SJWs (what year is it) were trying to police gaming.
I thought that was going to be the equivalent of Tipper Gore going after metal and hip-hop.
I do remember earlier moral panics about violent video games and music lyrics, but the suggestion that people trying to police political correctness in games was the same kind of threat seemed absurd to me.
On the other hand, the first Witcher game from 2007 has cards the player collects as achievements for having sex with female NPCs, and that doesn't seem like something a major title in 2026 would do unless it was actively trying to be provocative.
