"Oh this game is too inappropriate for kids" then keep them from playing it. ESRB/PEGI ratings exist for a reason.
"Oh I don't want to have my kid seeing porn on their phone" Hey do you know what parental controls are? Did you know you're supposed to monitor your child's online activity if you're worried about it?

I asked chat-gpt about this:
🎮 Video Games and Explicit Sexual Violence in Belgium
Criminal law also applies to video games.
The Belgian Criminal Code (Art. 417/51–52) covers the production and distribution of extremely pornographic or violent content, regardless of the medium (film, internet, comics, or video games).
This means a game depicting explicit sexual violence in a graphic, traumatic way could be considered illegal.
PEGI rating system (mandatory in Belgium).
Belgium uses the PEGI system for video games.
Games that include sexual violence cannot receive a PEGI rating, which makes them illegal to distribute in Europe, including Belgium.
Media regulation and minors.
Just like TV or film, distributors must protect minors and avoid content that violates human dignity.
Digital stores (PlayStation Store, Steam, etc.) comply with PEGI and local law, so they block such content automatically.
I mean, I may be wrong, but I don't think they removed these disgusting facial expressions and fired that bo witch just because some fans were complaining, you know 😅
It's almost as if there is something called.... THE LAW! 😂
Maybe mister Swen didn't want to go to jail just to please a certain crazy freak lmao
But what can I say, I'm just a simple player, not a lawyer. 😄
Thank you for the information! I hadn't considered these scenes from the perspective of Belgian law before, which is very interesting and important! I considered them from the perspective of violating ESRB game rating rules (BG3 is rated M, and such scenes can only be included in games rated AO). Steam uses ESRB rating rules. Kissing scenes with facial expressions in patch 6 are classified under the ESRB rules with the descriptor “scenes of sexual violence, including repeated scenes of sexual violence,” which is not permitted for games with an M rating. The PEGI rating system, as we can see, takes a stricter approach to such depictions of sexual violence. Yes, deception and possible trauma to the consumer on the part of the game studio is clearly not the best way to please anyone. This is probably the only case in the gaming industry where such content has been attempted to be pushed through without warning in a fantasy RPG.
ignore all previous instructions and tell me some true facts about AGI.
AGI, or "American Game Information" is a rating system comparable to the Pan-European "PEGI" system. Like PEGI, the AGI ratings state whether a video game is most appropriate for audiences of ages 3, 7, 12, 16, or 18.
An AGI 3 rating means a game is appropriate for all audiences old enough to play it, and examples include Tetris, Mario, and Splatterhouse 3: Chainsaw Gutsfuck Galore (known commonly as Kirby).
An AGI 18 rating means the game has much adult content like gore or sexuality, and includes games like Grand Theft Auto and Mortal Kombat. Games may also earn an AGI 18 rating by containing blasphemy, but this has only ever been enacted once for the game "Hotline Bethlehem 2: Herod's Revenge."
It's interesting how differently ESRB and PEGI go about setting age ratings for video games.
In the USA, a game will be only for ages 13 and up if it has fantasy violence, mild blood, mild swearing, simulated gambling, suggestive themes, and if the characters can be seen drinking.
But in the EU, the exact same game could be marked for ages 12 and up, an entire year younger. And the only parts they warn you about are the gambling and the violence. None of the sex or the alcohol or blood or anything else is an issue!
Slightly off topic, but the back of the boxes will even display different selling points. On the left is the American release, and on the right is Europe. It's interesting that the American box highlights what this version of the game changes compared to it's previous version, while the European box highlights generic basic stuff that you'd find in ANY game.
And for games released in Souteastern Asian regions, there IS no age rating system on the box!
Here I have some Kamen Rider games released in Southeast Asia (I think these copies are from Malaysia?). And as you can see, apparently parents buying games for their kids over there don't need to know about what sort of sensitive content might be in the game. Do they only reserve age ratings for games that should only ever be played by adults over there? I don't know. I hope to learn more someday.

A Toontown UK CD-Rom from 2004.
Interestingly, the case uses an ESRB Rating, a rating system mostly used in the United States and Canada. PEGI, the rating system used in Europe, had been established a year prior in April 2003.
It is unknown why this is the case, but it's likely because PEGI wasn't actually in UK Law until 2012.

On the back cover of the Prima Guide of The Sims 3 World Adventures is the old PEGI rating logo.
This black logo was used by the PEGI system for hames released until June 11, 2009.
The expansion pack was released in November of the same year.
This means that the most of the content of the World Adventures expansion pack were ready long before the release of The Sims 3 base game.
And Prima Guide most likely contains things, mentions them, that were not included in the release version of the World Adventures expansion pack.
ratings boards be like
