NSFW Video: People Get Freaky With Gay Tony
Let's start out by saying that the video above is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. This way I don't get any angry emails about people getting fired for watching this and you can skip over this item if it's not your cup of tea.
With the recent release of GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony the troublemakers at Rockstar were given another opportunity to ruffle a few feathers with content that ranges from extremely violent to the sexually explicit. While displays of violence in video game may be a bit passé, the concept and implementation of stories and gameplay with sex-related content is something that still manages to grab people's attention. Years after that overblown Hot Coffee business, how has sex changed in the world of Grand Theft Auto?
Not much according to this video that collects the sinful pleasures awaiting players in Liberty City. Sure, there are people bumping uglies, but for one reason or another, as Destructoid's Conrad Zimmerman points out, no one seems to be caring all that much. Is it because the game is DLC? Maybe it's the fact that people expect adult content in a game named after a crime? Or maybe there weren't enough alien ladies involved? Personally speaking, I'm just wondering why we aren't seeing any man on man business in this clip. Judge for yourself and tell us if you think games have gotten to the point where mature content can be present without news reporters freaking out or if they just aren't aware of it.

I have to say that I was disappointed that they felt they had to add a tonne of straight sex to make up for the gay protagonist.
Other than that, Sex in video games is fine with me - but this means that parents are actually going to have to take game ratings seriously from now on.
eww, i was expecting straight sex, but still... ew
Hmm, looks dirtier, but less graphic than the man on man action I've seen in Dragon Age so far.
this is a bad case of "sorry we made a dubiously gay expansion. we will make sure you have sex with every woman you see to make up for it so you dont have your confidence undermined"
You know what? This isn't so bad. I'd much rather see hilarious, badly scripted sex scenes that can add to a game's comedy than than all that Manhunt gore that's just tasteless.
It's probably problematic I thought you meant the website rather than the video game.
That said... It's an interesting degree of ludicrousness. I'm not sure if I'm more surprised they got away with the straight sex without terrifying the media or they could use "gay" neutrally in a title and still get their target audience to get the game.
