Nudity is qualified as either exposed buttocks, breasts, or genitalia or general lack of clothing. Video game nudity is largely a rarity outside of the PC market.
Eric Cartman claims to be big-boned but he's clearly obese.
Sexual behaviour that deviates from the norms of society.
Referencing a TV show, celebrity, song, trend, historical event, etc. is one of the easiest ways to get a laugh. This can be either a throw-away gag, like the name of an achievement, or the main subject of the game.
Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.
Psychopaths are noted for generally lacking a conscience, getting enjoyment from various forms of destruction, and an inability to learn from their mistakes.
A weighty real-world issue that some games comment on, often through allegory. Unfortunately, other games can offend players in their depiction of different ethnicities, whether intentionally or not, thus becoming part of the issue themselves.
A rich snob is a character who thinks he/she is better then everyone else because he/she is rich.
The original protagonist of a game becomes an antagonist in the sequel.
The idea of deriving a feeling of pleasure through inflicting pain or suffering on another living being.
Satire is a form of humor that ridicules aspects of real-world society and culture, usually making a serious but indirect point about the subject that the player is allowed to infer. Games such as Metal Gear, EarthBound, Grand Theft Auto, and Fallout, for example, satirize American culture.
An intimate physical activity between two or more individuals.
Whether it be cigarettes, cigars or pipes, tobacco or otherwise, everyone knows that smoking is bad for you - and that it makes you look undeniably cool.
A person incapable of feeling emotion and empathy, though they may fake displaying such in order to fit into society. Their inability to empathize make them potentially dangerous as they lack the ability to feel guilt or remorse for cruel acts committed against others.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
A protagonist who betrays his or her allies.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
Voice Acting is the art of providing voices for characters in games, television shows, films, radio programs, and other forms of media.
The disgusting process in which a character regurgitates the contents of their stomach back into the world, usually performed as a means of purging the body of poisons or intoxicants, but often (in videogames, anyway) used as a means of projectile attack by non-human enemies.
Player characters that are infants, children, or adolescents.
A zealot is a religious fanatic.
