I'm personally opposed to censorship but I understand it. I think the real reasons for it aren't so much parents not wanting their children to be exposed to nudity because it'll turn them into sex fiends as much as it is parents don't want their children to watch South Park because they don't want their 7 year old kids to emulate Eric Cartman.

I personally have no problem with nudity in and of itself. However, there is definitely nudity used to simple arouse. That I'm not so into but don't really OBJECT to. What I DO object to is degradation. Treatment of people as objects. I know a lot of people who'll argue to the bitter end that whatever instance you'll come up with is false and you're reading too much into things, and personally I think they're just looking for an excuse to keep their precious naked chicks. Let's look at the example of the SNES FF games. The nudity that was included was in monsters and summonable creatures. These are things that show up for a second and are then killed or cast some sort of spell and leave. Basically they're not naked for your enjoyment, they're naked 'cause they're naked. If you ARE getting aroused by it, feel free to use the Lakshmi summon as many times as you like, just remember that fresh air is good for you. Now let's look at Fear Effect 2, which was advertised solely for having the world's first lesbian kiss in a video game. Well, maybe it wasn't, but that's not my point. My point is that they were basically marketting it as a masturbatory aid. The women weren't women so much as they were sex toys for you to use. Granted, there's MUCH worse examples of this (Virgin Roster comes to mind) but I doubt I'd be allowed to discuss them in the way they'd need to be discussed here.

Basically, nudity okay, objectification bad.
