Sex & Nudity

  • In a room during the Brookhaven Hospital level, there's a poster with a woman in a bikini standing in a suggestive manner.
  • A lot of sexual implications.
  • Pyramid Head's first appearance sees it murdering two monsters by shoving them into a sink. Although this scene can be confused as appearing to depict rape due to the position of Pyramid Head and the monsters, the game designers have since confirmed that this is not the case. Despite this, it is made to appear as a sexual assault to align to the games themes.
  • The Abstract Daddy is a boss that's all about sexual abuse also the mouth resemble a vaginal orifice, also symbolising sexual abuse or rape the abstract daddy also screams when you attack it what also is symbolizing helplessness from the sex victim. The Abstract Daddy is made to look like a bed with sexual abuse happening on top of it it's deeply disturbing.
  • Flesh Lips is another monster in Silent Hill 2 the monster what's indicating vaginal imagery from James wife Mary.
  • Mandarin is a Another monster that symbolizes vaginal imagery, which touches more on his sexual frustration.
  • The Mannequin is a manifestation of James natural urges and inclinations, as frustrated by his wifes ailment. Accordingly, Pyramid Heads introductory cutscene has him sexually abusing two Mannequins. The Mannequin may also be an image of innocence and helplessness being misused or otherwise destroyed by an oppressive, masculine forcea symbol that is later touched on in Toluca Prison, where James finds the Tablet of the Oppressor.
