Soft Core Gaming

This week I talk a bit about a free-to-play MMORPG that essentially seems to be a game offering an experience of soft core porn alongside the other standard MMO experiences of character creation, loot hunting, and level grinding (Ha! Grinding? Get it?).

Maybe I'm less interested in the game itself as I am some of my final observations about pornography and the nude in art. I posit a thesis about how pornography is not something that we know when we see it, but instead is something that sees you, which seems really interesting to me. I need to think about it in regards to the pornographic in writing, as I have been trying to figure out a way of distinguishing why I don't think Chuck Palahniuk's work is in any way pornographic.
