I didn't say those things weren't criticized, just that to my knowledge there's a large discrepancy in the firepower used. I'm not sure if adds with photoshopped models get as much flak as the cover of a videogame box in spite of hitting a larger audience, but if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.

The idea that I'm defending is that it shouldn't be anyone else's business if I like gay minotaurs in my videogames or not. This is just a random example to make a point, you can insert bikini-mail, shirtless hunks or morbidly obese technicians instead. The developers should be free to make whatever content they want and the buyers decide if to spend money on it or not. What should be or should not be content should never be an issue.
