Throughout this past week, a video has been released that reveals a love scene in the upcoming RPG Shooter, Mass Effect. And for whatever the reason, Singapore has banned the game from being released, because it is a lesbian make-out scene, and they find it offensive. I will show you the video, and you can judge for yourself. Here is the Video:

Now I personally think that there is nothing here that would really be considered offensive. You don’t see anything you wouldn’t see in a Victoria Secret commercial or Desperate Housewives. The scene is short and done in good taste. I guess I only have one question for all of you gamers out there, and that is “Is this offensive to you?”
Until next time gamers, this is B4 signing off Take care, B4

I’ve seen this discussed on some other gaming sites and it almost always comes down to a selection of folks who are not offended at all by any sort of implied sexual content, however they are extremely upset that it is homosexual content. To them I say: A) play as a male, or B) play as a female and don’t nail the alien chick.
I’m totally offended.
There’s only 1 scene like this, and there’s no nudity?! Outrage.

Platform Nation is a collaboration of several gaming podcasts who decided it would be best for our gamers, the podcasters and the rest of the gaming community if they came together to share efforts. Together we have a larger voice in the community for the gamers that we strive to speak for. We share the same forums and for the most part, share the same listeners. After all, we are a community, not a network.
