“Some kids might be watching this. Tone down the boobs and ass, but… leave the violence.”

-Amazon, probably

Yeah I’ve always found it funny how people make a shit storm about T&A but have zero issues showing the most disgusting and brutal violence on screen.

I know that people are trying to stop seeming pervy but there is still something odd about it.

Reminds me of the discourse around Mortal Kombat 1, and how the series has gradually reduced the skimpiness of outfits. On one hand I get it, but on the other hand they have ratchets up the violence to hilariously OTT levels.

Like I just don’t get how someone is ok developing a game where the thanksgiving themed fatality is literally one fighter forcing food into another fighter and having it burst out of their faces with blood and guts, but are like “eww!” When one of their female characters is showing too much skin.

At the end of the day though, the developers should feel free to creat whatever they want but like I said its just weird.

Violence is actually relevant to Invincible and Mortal Kombat. There's no rule you have to include equal amounts of boobs and ass if you have graphic violence.

I agree you shouldn’t. But like I said, there’s something morbidly fascinating about how we perceive violence and anything related to sex.

They are two very different things, but like I said I’ve always found it wierd when people get so squeamish about sex but are completely fine with some of the most gruesome violence in ever. Especially when the person is squeamish in “moral grounds”.

To paraphrase someone who once discussed this, "your regular boner and your murder boner" are supposed to be separate. The American Pie movies, like them or hate them, are based on titillation and nudity is expected there. If they suddenly started throwing in lots of graphic violence, I'm sure we'd see complaints from the same people accusing Invincible and Mortal Kombat of being prudish.
