this whole thing is stupid: it is "okay" to sell a game to teenagers where they can stomp prostitutes to death, but it is not "okay" to sell a game if they can have virtual sex with them. What is the purpose of prostitutes again?

The "moral" of this story [besides the usual political pandering] is: violence is okay, but not sex.

this is genocidally stupid. no wonder the birth rate is declining

in the meantime, Rockstar Games gets a huge injection of free publicity for a game that's pretty well "over", and some useless politicians get to look good for the cameras and the yahoos at home

Well, That was the point of the anime episode of South Park. "Parents don't care about violence as long as there are sex things to worry about".

That's the overarching theme in American media, and it's been that way for years. In Europe and Japan, it's exactly the opposite, they censor any violence, but sex and nudity are generally accepted.
