Fox News has done it again

Now its pointing the finger to Duke Nukem Forever! :roll: Hey its bound to happen.

FOX News -- proving once again that it gets all its news secondhand from game blogs -- has attacked Duke Nukem Forever for its sexist content, in particular the "Capture the Babe" multiplayer mode. How predictable.

"Brace yourself for the awfully sexist world of Duke Nukem Forever," states the article. "The game's 1996 precursor Duke Nukem 3D --which sold 3.5 million copies, made millions for its developers and transformed the entire world of video games-- depicted women as strippers and prostitutes. The new iteration of the game, set for release this spring, takes sexism to a new level -- starting with Duke receiving implied oral sex from twins in school uniforms."

As always, FOX got an expert to comment, in the form of Women's Media Center VP Jamia Wilson: "It was offensive then and it's even more offensive now. These depictions of women are extremely harmful, especially to young women."

"The game will be available in stores and online, where customers must click a button stating they are 17 years of age or older -- the only barrier to children buying such a game," continues FOX. "The ESRB argues that its ratings effectively allow consumers to self-police: If you find that sort of thing offensive, simply don't let your kids buy the game."

How dare the ESRB expect parents to be parents? Don't they know how many rapes and Ground Zero mosques will happen now!?

You heard it here first. Duke Nukem invented strippers and prostitutes. :roll: Unbelievable.

What did they say that was wrong?

The interview with Gold Star mom about Medal of Honor made me buy it :D

Fox News still doesn't seem to understand the greatest influence on a child's development is their family and peers.

It's okay Fox News. I don't blame you for your ignorance and stupidity. I blame your parents for failing you so miserably.

Fox News can..... make me a sandwich

I agree with Fox News. It is absolutely disgraceful. This trash needs to be canned. millerlight89

My sarcasm meter is off the charts!

Is that really the opening of the game? Pretty low, but then again it's not like there are high expectations for this game.Mr_Cumberdale

I hate Fox News. They made controversy of "alien sex" in Mass Effect, so I was like so hyped up for the sex scene with Liara only to be disappointed by lack of anything remotely inappropriate. They deceived me. Liars. :(funsohng

I actually watched the interview on FOX about the Mass Effect thing. The fool that was arguing against Mass Effect didn't even play the game. That's just plain idiotic.

Agreed. It really made my blood boil. They kept interrupting the guy who had actually played the game as well like they knew more about it! "Have you actually played mass effect?" "No? Why would I want to play a game about sex!?".... *twitch*

sick of all this fuss with video games... if movies can get away with everything, video games should as wellcampzor

Everyone knew this would happen. Just watch the trailer. It is not a kids game.

The thing is, most people think all video games are for kids even the M-rated ones

I've never heard of Duke Nukem before, but now thanks to Fox News, I must buy it. Strippers, Prostitutes, sounds like my type of game Fox.

For once, can't really say Fox news is wrong.

Really withCapture the Babe' Mode's "slap the *****" feature

I'm for free speech but that sexist ***** is unnecessary. (along with other ****** from the bound to be Mediocre game)

Homie, do you realise how many stripper clubs there are, and how many female prostitutes are on the streets? Plenty only in my city, nevermind the world.

Just because a game depicts that, does not mean it depicts all females. With your logic, all men are bulky, grey and 1 dimensional.

So it's 'aight for games to contain methods to kill people, in any way comprehendable, with gore galore, but depicting the reality of stripper clubs and prostitutes is not 'aight?

**** it, we ain't living in paradise.

It's not allright for neither, but that's how it is, and people should not be hypocrites. Parents should watch out, think before buying their kid a console, and take care.

It's not like violent games, or with sexual content are the only things that can .. 'corrupt' the mind of a child. There's a hella lot of stuff out there.

Fox and Friends tackle the sexism subject in general...

Enjoy...

I'm surprised Fox News hasn't said anything about the Starz show Spartacus Blood and Sand or Spartacus Gods of the Arena, those shows make M rated games look like E rated videogames.

(good shows btw lol)
