EDIT: Banning on a first strike isn't good, but if there is a pattern of hateful language meant to attack others, fuck em. Delete the gamer tag and take the MS points on that account.
Before E3 there was only one game I was following (Last of Us). Now I have several more titles that I will be keeping an eye on as the develop: Watch Dogs, Sim City, and above all else 1313.
I think we can all agree that gratuitous bloodshed, boobs, cursing, guns, violence against women and violence against tigers is bad.
With the exception of gratuitous violence against women, why is that list always bad? It can be over done sure, but that doesn't mean the items on that list always need contextualization.
Sometimes "tits because tits (or dick because dick in GTA)" is great.
Everything has its place at the gaming table.
You can call it a gender power imbalance or something when Dicks can be played for laughs quite easily but Tits generally can't.
If laughs are your intent, all that means is that you have to work harder if breasts are supposed to be "the punch line".
The main problem I see with the whole situation is that the people in charge of where, when, and how to use not just female nudity, but ALL nudity are almost exclusively men. The majority of games are created from the male point of view and that has a major impact on everything we see in our games and ideas we have in our gaming culture.
