But who are you to decide what's a "need?"

yeah, this is my problem with this line of thought. It's sort of like the "I don't think there's any need to write rape fics" thing or whatever. Fiction serves different purposes for different people.

I know that for me, Hotline Miami was SO IMPORTANT. I mean, I lived in that game for months and months. It helped me work through one of the most complicated knots of my PTSD. "Do you like hurting other people?" was the first time I'd ever been confronted like that in a game or movie or anywhere. But all of that only happened, the question only had weight, because Hotline Miami is a game about hyper-violence, in which the only path you can take is to brutally murder people.

And I'm sure there's a lot of people who could say the same thing about something like Spec Ops: The Line, or any other game that's used violence as a means of storytelling. Even something like Viscera Cleanup Detail, where the gore and violence is just part of the joke... For some people, maybe that's a "need".

Exactly. And what bothers me more is the way some people seem to think they're the sole moral authority on what's acceptable, or at the very least word their opinions to imply as such.

So really, who is anyone to decide what's a "need?"
