It is quite long (and still quite active), but definitely worth the effort it requires to go through it. Naturally, there's lots of stupidity, prejudice and generally illogical reasoning in there, and none of them is capable of assembling all the facts and using them so as to arrive at the correct conclusions, but I figure some people here might wish it give it a try.

The thread starts becoming interesting on the third page, with the following post:

Or at least a wanker, because that is all these games are about — and I have nothing at all against masturbation or sexuality in general, but when one turns to the retarded fantasies presented by games like these, I dunno... I just find it incredibly distasteful and a little pathetic? I would have thought these forums would be the last place the eroge genre would be met with any sort of glorification, or anything less than pure ridicule (aside from a few people I have always pretty much ignored (I mean we have Rya.Reisender saying here "it's because real girls suck" and it's just being left alone)). I mean, I know, some guys are just too busy playing videogames and watching anime to ever get some real pussy (let's be blunt), but I don't want to hear about how you wish you could use BOTH hands to jerk it while manipulating Fake Anime Girl (possibly your little sister) into blowing you or even just holding your hand or something.
I mean, what the fuck? How sad are we?
Sexual content in games is one thing, but when it becomes your tool for actual masturbation, physical, psychological, or emotional, fucking keep it to yourself. Wow.
