Minecraft (45 blocks long, 27 high, and 13 blocks wide) Look, if you think a game will allow it, you can assume someone's drawn a penis in it. If you look around, though, you'll see this stuff everywhere. We don't talk about it much, other than to giggle or smirk or just shake our head. Why do people do this? Are they acting out? Are they testing the limits-as gamers in particular are wont to do-of what they can technically get away with? Of what they can pull off in a system that may not be designed for them to do such a thing? Maybe you haven't either.īut, in gaming, as in so many other areas of life that provide a canvas for expression, drawing penises is nearly an automatic thing. Who isn't familiar with this irrepressible urge to draw a penis in a game? Or, hell, to draw one anywhere? (22cans' Curiosity, out now for ios!) /randyzero/stat… How could they not?Īnd of course no game is complete without dicks. Surely, someone had to know before this was released. "This is way too graphic," added another, while yet another added, "This will probably be banned." One commenter even wondered if this snack was a prank. "Holy crap," wrote one commenter on 2ch, Japan's largest bulletin board. But online in Japan, this cherry blossom-shaped strawberry cream bread is being dubbed "obscene". On the wrapper, you can see the words "Sakura no Ame" (桜ノ雨), or "Cherry Blossom Rain", which is a Hatsune Miku song. The bread is a collaboration between virtual idol Hatsune Miku and one of Japan's biggest convenience store chains, Family Mart. This post contains content some readers might find objectionable. Because, as pointed out online in Japan, this doesn't look like cherry blossoms. And the wrapper says the snack is "shaped like cherry blossoms." Seems innocuous enough, right?īut take off the wrapper. That's the color of cherry blossoms, and thus, spring in Japan.


So what drives people to do this kind of thing in the first place? Believe it or not, I'm looking into that. The game is rated E10+, though there's a massive loophole: "Includes online features that may expose players to unrated user-generated content (Windows PC)." Given that the game is always-online, make of that rating what you will. Will SimCity moderators flag it or ban it? I guess we'll see ( or will we?). Given that strangers can build cities that connect to yours in this new SimCity, I imagine that a penis-town like this could suddenly become a sister-city to whatever fine metropolis you're making. If anyone knows, say the word and I'll give proper credit. The image above (sans Kotaku censor fish) was posted to the r/gaming section on Reddit yesterday by a user named EunByuL, but I can't tell if he or she is the creator. The new game lets you draw curved roads, meaning this kind of city couldn't even be erected in the older games.

Previous SimCity games only let players draw straight rodes into their cities. The city in the above image was created in the beta for the new SimCity and demonstrated that, as always, if gamers can draw some male genitalia into a game, they will.
