It really isn't because its just sex. There are worse things that can be shown that are incredibly in bad taste, like extreme gore, violence, racism, sexism, and things like that. Still, I personally just find them cringeworthy, not in bad taste because it really doesn't compare to other things.

Mind telling me why you're offended so easily then?Because I have standards? And taste?Are you implying I don't? Triggered.Well, yes, actually.If you don't mind sex in media, then you have bad taste. Sorry.That's a very dogmatic stance you have there.

God I wish I could change that orange text ;~;it makes walls look ugly to me.
Fruit posted a pretty good reason in my opinion.
From my point of view (the jedi are evil), we're (Americans especially) so numb to violence, gore, swears, and other atrocious things. Hell we had games shooting civilians in airports, decapitating people, and all sorts of other horrible things. Yet the moment any piece of flesh is shown, especially when it's to a woman the main character is married to (I know you're going to say context doesn't matter, but I feel it does far more so than say, DoA Extreme) and they take some small time for themselves in a world where everything is fucked up.
Well personally I don't believe it's that wrong. Sex and nudity isn't something that is really forbidden in my eyes, and to shun such natural things is, in my opinion, silly. Especially when we embrace the other end of the spectrum where we allow violence left and right.That's how I personally feel. I understand your position, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
]Well, not me. As I stated earlier--I really don't care for gore, either. I think violence has its place in fiction--we shouldn't be desensitized by it, but I think violence can be used as a powerful tool to send a message. Is it ever done properly? Not really.It's a hypocritical point to make because you and I both know how fun it is to kill things in video games. The difference is that I have boundaries--Fallout 3 liked to toe that line sometimes, with the dog decapitations. Wasn't really a fan of that shit.
Sex being "natural" is just a bad point. Taking a shit is natural, too, but I don't think you want to see Geralt taking a dump in the woods. Even though that's totally natural.
That's how I view sex. It's no more glamorous, no more beautiful than defecation. It has no place in video games.
ME is the perfect example of sex scenes being bad and there for no reason

well, as we all know, video games promote violent behaviors on a whole. Through the guise of "artistic freedom" vile immoral video game making men are able to regulate the thought patterns of young impressionable customers. don't believe me? take a look at this graph the Y-axis of said graph serves to measure potential energy of the consumer in boycotting these programmable sex acts. while the X axis quantifies the internuclear distance of gross profit divided by time, as custom. as you can see, the repulsion modules represent a portion of the population initially disgusted in the concept of coitus within interactive entertainment. As the market is memetically saturated with sexual notions a portion of the repulsion module sheds it's disdain of the idea in question, thus decreasing the potential energy of those with Some overlap/attraction.In acquiring a target audience however, the profit niche decreases in surface area, leading to a sharp and oftentimes brief internuclear distance in monetary sum. In order to maximize net profit, the original repulsion module must lower it's base level of dissenting potential energy to a point below the consumer action line. As the process of market opinion desalination takes place, the niche slope expands along the internuclear Y axis while also marginally increasing base potential energy levels against sexuality in video games as a result of an influx in recently opposed population levels. Through precise mathematical calculations market analysts are able to keep the general population below the consumer action degree of 0, achieving profit equilibrium and creating a state ofno overlap/no attraction within the consumer in regards to their desire to resist the sexual gaming trends. Note: the Some overlap/attraction module is oftentimes represented by the variable virgins within similar graphs.
