This week's online poll from parental gaming site What They Play finds in-game sex more offensive than "a graphically severed head."
The results, posted by site co-founder John Davison on his personal blog, say that "a man and women having sex" in-game is worse than "two men kissing," "a graphically severed human head," or "multiple uses of the F-word," which are all controversial topics within video games.
Associate editor Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku offered a humble explanation. "I guess that's what happens when your country's founded by Puritans," he said, referring to the world's third most-populated country, the United States, where the poll publisher is based.
What They Play, which launched in 2007, is self-described as "the parents guide to video games." The total number of poll respondents was not disclosed.
