Hello dear know-it-all.
How do I explain THIS to my niece?
It all started with a cute emoticon she really wanted to have as an avatar for her chat program but couldn’t find a way to use it. Well, it was really tricky to extract it from her chat software for use as an avatar.
You can find it under Rina gives Love and the animation only works as a link.
Therefore I just searched for it using a screenshot. Found a Steam ID. It is an animated Steam avatar from a game with Steam ID 1750200 and the avatar is called “Rina gives Love”. Fitting. So I searched for it on Steam… BLOCKED! This site is not available in your country. VPN is for suckers. SSH-SOCKS-Tunnel to my Coloserver in the USA and tried again.
What. The. Fuck.
Game is called “Sex and the Furry Titty 2: Sins of the City”.
I was on the floor laughing for a minute. A click into the screenshots confirmed that you see lots of hairy critters having sex. On Steam. I do a double facepalm and laugh for another two minutes. So now my questions, dear know-it-alls:
-
How do I explain to my twelve-year-old niece that her favorite avatar comes from a pornographic game with animals?
-
Is it true that hydrochloric acid can be injected into the brain through a cannula to make things permanently unseen?
Respectfully, a slightly befuddled spectacle.
PS1, the Avatar is really cute animated…
PS2, I do not really intend to explain it to her. I’ll give her some technobabble (Copyright, DRM, Flux-Compensator, Compability) and be done with it. Though I would be really interested how others would explain that.
Twelve?
I’d probably go with almost exactly the way you typed it… “This avatar is from a pornographic game with furries”
A twelve year old definitely knows the word pornographic unless someone has been very helicopterish with their screen time, and if she has a chat program, she should know enough to recognize predatoryish chat on her own anyway at 12 (that’s just my opinion though). Maybe replace “porn” with “adult”, maybe replace “furries” with something else.
Discussion with her parents first is warranted if that’s a thing.
Be prepared to hear that she knew it was a furry thing too… Probably not super likely, but she might have known what she was doing. My 2nd child told me at 10 years old that she was lesbian. She didn’t fully understand the entirety of what she was saying, but she wasn’t wrong, all her early crushes were girls and it wasn’t “a phase” or anything. Assuming the amount of what they know can put you off your game real quick :) intelligence, curiosity, research ability all vary wildly from one kid to another.
