Jesus, could you get more sanctimonious? Not only didn’t you get the point of the message - which is that they’re both violent games that kids shouldn’t play - but you also think you know anything about parents, or my parents? Please log off, go interact with real people and don’t give any more “advice” to complete online strangers. You don’t know what reading comprehension is, much less love.

We’ve been there. I asked for Shadow Warrior as a kid and got Shadow Man. Couldn’t even run the game so all I got was actually a neat box and manual.
I shouldn’t have gotten either game, TBF, but parents didn’t care.
I can’t recall if it was on the second or third year of high school, but it was a single Biology class. The teacher was comfortable with it, but she was very clearly biased towards abstinence and insisted the only way to be 100% sure was to just not have sex.
Despite that, she still talked about basics of sex and genitalia, a few common STDs, and basic preventive measures, both for pregnancy and STDs - even if they weren’t particularly effective. Both coitus interruptus and sodomy (we had a loooot of fun repeating that word for a week or so) were mentioned as ways to avoid pregnancy, but condoms and IUDs were the real recommendations.
As a class, we weren’t too rowdy, though there was a kid or two that made a few too many jokes - and the teacher cut them off fairly quickly. I also recall she handled pamphlets with each of the methods talked during class and their approximate efficacy.
This was in 2005-ish and I’m Brazilian.
Also of note this was the second time, the first attempt happened in middle school (and in a different school altogether) and we had to do a presentation on STDs and the like. The teacher decided to cancel at the last minute because we were clearly too embarrassed to actually talk about the subject in front of our classmates.
I realize the hypocrisy of saying this, as the person who started the conversation, but yes, its considered very rude to point someone out as an egg in a genuine fashion, for multiple reasons but including outing against their will, the idea that they might already transitioned in their own way, the idea of trying to define someone without their consent, etc.
No, he makes occasional art that feels egg-y

I was obviously talking about COVID.
Not trying to be too dismissive, but anyone in 2019 who guessed what the world would be like in the future was terribly mistaken, at this point I’m just hoping things don’t get too hot.

I learned that years later. Though I never bothered to play Shadow Warrior, only the remake/reboot.
