Lore makes an interesting point.
What is it about online "sex" that's immoral? Apparently Jesuits are trying to get people online to not engage their online characters in online sex.
But it's not as if video game murder is equivalent in any way to real violence.
And yet it seems like video sex is somehow less harmless. Certainly our movie rating system judges the slaughter of hundreds less harmful than one exposed breast.
And yet real-life violence is much more harmful than real-life sex. Unless you get AIDS and die, but that's not my point. There's something interesting here that I haven't figured out yet.
The harm from anything bad in a video game is much less than in real life. But there is a wider difference between video murder and real murder, than the difference between going to a real strip club and entering a video game strip club.
At least when it comes to real life actions, we're clear that murder is worse than prostitution. Way longer jail sentences.
