“Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise … contains, according to video game news sites [emphasis added], full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair.”
-Attorney Jack Thompson, as quoted in a Gamespot article
Nice to know that Thompson is willing to use the games press to his advantage, even while he refuses to speak to them unless it suits his purpose.
Also… what news sites is Thompson reading that include such graphic descriptions? Is he counting Sims 2 modding forums in with “gaming news sites?” Would I be surprised if he was?
The answer to that last one, by the way, is “no.”
Jack Thompson isn’t even willing to listen to people who agree with his claimed goal, if he happens to think they are a gamer.< HREF="http://aelon.net/2005/07/jack-thompson-straw-man/" REL="nofollow">http://aelon.net/2005/07/jack-thompson-straw-man/<>
After reading this piece and others like it I have come to believe that Thompson is not just another out-of-touch crusader or publicity whore, but he is very disturbed and has anger issues. The sooner both the gamers and the anti-game crowd learn to ignore his ravings, the better.
it is bad if you believe it is
Jack Thompson is a hero who’s on a quest to save children from being defiled by this corrupt industry. A pox on anyone who attacks him and his noble pursuit.
