If someone is going to go out and sexually assault someone or have unprotected sex, they're probably going to do it regardless of whether or not it was portrayed in the media. Anyone influenced to do something stupid because of something they saw in a video game or a movie would have probably done something stupid at some point anyway.

I respectfully disagree. Passions and lust are stoked by stimulating imagery or other descriptive materials, and the more our thoughts dwell on something we desire, the more tempting it becomes--or rather the more we feel we must give in to temptation and satisfy that desire. Or (to quote a cliche) garbage in, garbage out. It's not a question of responsibility or blameshifting, but rather recognizing the part that a) we play in tempting ourselves to do what we shouldn't and that b) an unmoderated society/environment plays in planting the initial seeds of temptation. And there are more temptations at play than sexual desire itself. We're also broaching the subject of sexism, objectifying women, power and dominating or abusing others (especially where crude sexual slurs are involved), and disrespect. I'd also wager that "unprotected sex" is far from the only form of consensual sex deemed a serious misdeed by the people complaining. It certainly isn't the only kind with destructive consequences.

I think I should add. She didn't name them the biological form of that part, she named ALL of her cities using the rude form of that word.

Put it this way. It is the most obscene word possible and Zarozinia is now suspended.
