{{Video Game Examples Need Sorting}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* Give anyone ''any'' form of artistic freedom within a game...and you'll be surprised how many people [[Game Mod|make nude or sex mods]], [[Hello, Insert Name Here|name the character something sexual]], post sprays of pornographic images, make icons be blatant freudian imagery...
** ''[[Spore]]'' was anticipating this. The game gives you freedom over evolution of your creatures in many aspects. Naturally, [[Genre Savvy|the devs anticipated how many people would make penis-monsters.]]
Line 8 ⟶ 11:
{{quote|'''Sean''': Whoa! Dr. Kwong wasn't wrong about the size of that thing. Ever hear of "overcompensating"?}}
* ''[[Second Life]]'' is ''KING'' of this trope. People have the ability to, once they know to code, create ''anything'' they want. What do they stick to, first? Make penises and enact out cybersex. One of the most popular forms of griefing is to send a flying storm of penises in somewhere.
* This is half of what makes the undead enemies of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' -- the [[mummy]] Gibdo and zombie ReDead -- major sources of
** [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=74 Ewww].
** In fact, many of the enemies and even the bosses seem to be giant, one-eyed monsters...
Line 35 ⟶ 38:
** Another major theme running throughout both games is ''motherhood''. GLaDOS is very reminiscent of a [[My Beloved Smother|passive-aggressive, nagging mother]], makes references to "bring your daughter to work day" (a significant event in the backstory), and most especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq_xNxEGe8g this spoilery song]. Turn on the closed captions for the Italian subtitles and... wow.
** In a more visual (and non-story-related) example, when you've finished the final co-op chamber in ''[[Portal 2]]'', look back up at where you came from. Then think of how you got to where you are. You'll never see that chamber the same way again.

** ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' also has a lot of sexual imagery mixed in with violence, [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|to symbolise how killing arouses Snake more than sex]] (which is canon, if ''[[Metal Gear]] 2: Solid Snake'' is to be believed). Snake, who is [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|hot]], [[Smoking Hot Sex|smokes a cigarette]] after every boss battle. He punches a sadomasochistic zombie ninja to orgasm at one point. He fights the beautiful Sniper Wolf through the sniper scope of a [[Male Gaze]], twice. Metal Gear REX has a penis that shoots lasers. The final battle is a boxing match between him and his sexy twin, both dressed only in very tight trousers with their waxed muscled chests on full display
▲* According to [[Metal Gear Solid|Psycho Mantis]], the reason he hates all of humanity is because ''everytime'' he looks into someone's mind, [[Dirty Mind Reading|he finds]] the same "disgusting" desire to reproduce at the heart of their motivation for every single thing they do.

*** Speaking of REX, one of his combo attacks {{spoiler|as he fights the slender, almost feminine RAY in ''Metal Gear Solid 4''}} involves {{spoiler|biting the latter's neck and ejaculating onto its torso}}. There's also the ''Shagohod'', which aside from a possible [[Double Entendre]] name which makes sense when you consider who's [[Anything That Moves|piloting it]] has an enormous phallic rocket launcher on its back and... well, look how it moves.

** The whole plot is basically about men named after penises fighting over a fortress named after a clitoris. Solid Snake ("erect penis") destroys Outer Heaven (clitoris); let's point out that his two vague female romantic attachments both ended in him leaving them (in one case without a goodbye) and he ends up in a close relationship with a [[Ho Yay|man]], wanting ''nothing except'' that (and, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|to boot]], all his outfits throughout the series draw specific attention to his buttocks). Big Boss ("[[Biggus Dickus|large penis]]") builds Outer Heaven and had a female lover who he saved when she was in trouble and who was dedicated to him until the end of her life (and all his outfits throughout the series draw specific attention to his crotch). The series casts Snake in the right, and Big Boss in the wrong
** Revolver Ocelot could practically ''write'' this trope. In the first ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', during the gunfight with him, he says: "There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber". Sweet mother of Freud.
** Then there's the fight between [[Depraved Bisexual|Vamp]] and [[Bishonen|Raiden]] in the fourth game which has some extremely, though somewhat disturbing homoerotic imagery: the grappling, the almost rutting-like motion when Raiden stabs himself to nail Vamp — and don't forget the white blood and the crotch-knife licking.
Line 63 ⟶ 65:
*** Speaking of, mixing this with [[Rule 34]] gives you Oshawott with its "shell emblem" replaced by a penis. [[Brain Bleach]] is next door, thank you very much.
*** The "legs" of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:494Victini.png Victini] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:256Combusken.png Combusken] come to mind.
*** The Platinum sprite for [https://web.archive.org/web/20190924174155/http://pokesplash.net/resources/sprites/hgss/435-frame1.png Skuntank] appears to have... a hole between its legs. Yeah.
*** And [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/e/e5/553Krookodile.png/576px-553Krookodile.png Krookodile's nose]. Doesn't take much imagination to work out what's wrong with that.
*** Sure, don't mention the most [https://web.archive.org/web/20150704050025/http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/66/484Palkia.png obvious of them all,] [[Department of Redundancy Department|because it's so obvious]] where I'm going with this.
* In the first episode of ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police]]: Season One'', Sam has a dream and the player can choose what he does in his dream. It is possible to make a hot dog appear in a rat hole. The therapist then says, "A weenie in a rat hole... ''nothing'' symbolic there."
* The (in)famous [[Action Bomb|Creepers]] from ''[[Minecraft]]'' look very...well [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/thumb/0/0a/Creeper.png/150px-Creeper.png lets just say that some people call them "penis monsters" for a reason...]
* It's probably cheating considering [[Eroge|the nature of the game]] but ''[[Fate Stay Night]]'' has tons of Freudian undertones.
* In ''[[Katamari Damacy]]'', one of the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|many Royal Cousins]] is Odeko, whose most striking feature is his long head. While most cousins have cute little pill-shaped heads, his extends straight up. He's explicitly very ''proud'' of his height, and is even prone to exaggerating its size. This has been the subject of many, many jokes.
** Not to mention the character named "Johnson" who is long-headed like Odeko, but sticks straight forward instead of up.
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] II'', there's a heartless comprised of a small body and a golden beak which repeatedly stabs Sora if he doesn't kill them. Think that's bad enough? The name of it is ''Rapid Thruster''.
** [[Kingdom Hearts: 358 Days Over 2|The DS interquel]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130404034512/http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/halolz-dot-com-kingdomhearts365-2days-agrabah.jpg has the most blatant Freudian imagery I've ever seen.]
* Wesker from ''[[Resident Evil]]''... especially the fifth game. Lord, what to say about [[Foe Yay|him and Chris]]? It gets to the point where, at the final battle, Wesker ends up sweaty, [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]], and growing a bunch of tentacles. He uses these tentacles to grab ahold of Chris (which can only be described as looking like very violent [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle rape]]). And each time he has a hold on Chris, he transforms his other arm into a very phallic tentacle drill that will... <s>penetrate</s> impale Chris if he doesn't break free. And all of this while he [[Say My Name|screams Chris' name]]. Wesker has issues...
** First, Brad Vickers gets caught by Nemesis and impaled through the <s>mouth</s> nose with a <s>[[Naughty Tentacles|Naughty]]</s> [[Combat Tentacles|Combat Tentacle]], seven years later Luis Sera dies of impaling from behind with the huge stinger Saddler had concealed under his robe... [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
*** ''[[Dead Rising 2]]'' pretty much beats the player over the head with sexual imagery as soon as they start playing the game.
* ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]'' gave us a Mario robot. One level is in his crotch, and it involves balls for platforms.
* ''[[Bioshock]]''. Let's start with the [[Mascot Mook|Big Daddies]] who wield either [[This Is a Drill|giant drills]] or [[Big
** Ramped up terribly in the sequel when the PC is referred to as "my knight in shining armour" by a little sister. Repeatedly.
* ''[[Shadows of the Damned]]'' is ''filled to the brim'' with this. Considering it's [[Suda 51]], not surprising. Here are some... easier to swallow examples.
