Would they be horrified if they found out there was a video game about a military officer who sleeps with aliens and beats bad guys? Would they think it is a male fantasy?

Pretty sure the majority of people that don't play game would go "huh" when you asked them about Mass Effect. That Fox piece was ages ago and frankly with how people are buying Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty for children under the age of 18 it just seems they are completely in the dark about the game industry.

What's the evidence that non-gamers have even heard of Mass Effect? The only data points I'm aware of are a Silicon Valley joke and the "Ass Effect" graphic on The Daily Show, and the latter was back in the Jon Stewart era.

The only data points I'm aware of are a Silicon Valley joke and the "Ass Effect" graphic on The Daily Show, and the latter was back in the Jon Stewart era. Well, visitors to California's Great America theme park in Santa Clara might be familiar with the ride there without being gamers themselves. Some non-gamers might encounter the books on the shelf of their local library. OP: Are you living in the Victorian Era? Generally, I think most non-gamers just would not be surprised at all by it. We've see just as much in the movie Avatar (which was a pretty major hit, as I recall). If parents are buying games labeled M17+ for their children, they are either 1) completely naive and think that there isn't any sex or violence in any game; or 2) they just don't care what their kids are exposed to... and I'm inclined to think it's more of the latter than the former. If they're not buying games at all, it just means they're involved in different hobbies. As a troll topic, my score for this thread is -10.

Should I really give a shit what conservative commentators think about video games? Not all video games need to be marketed as "all ages". If parents aren't paying attention that's on them rather than video game developers. In any case, we're seeing nudity on network TV. Even in the US, BBC America might show things that the more prudish US wouldn't put in their own shows. And how long ago was it that NYPD Blue was showing bare ass on network television?

Ah yes, this classic of video games meets stupid.
This is more than 10 years ago and it was dumb then...

You take Fox news of all sources?
I guess I can tell you their judgment without even looking at the clip. They're the regressive in conservative, so what do you expect? As for non gamers in general. I don't think, Mass Effect or any video game is high enough on their priority list, to even have an opinion.

That you could have full control over the sex scenes and the game had full frontal nudity.

Don't know what non gamers think about ME. I highly doubt that they care about ME at all.
As for Fox News, who the F cares about what they say! They are just a load of bible humping, fascist ass holes!
