I guess your definition of "chilling" is more confined than mine.

We need the industry to take a more responsible role towards content. Not in exposing kids to it mind you, but in using violence and sex to sell mediocrity. Thats the biggest problem in video games now, too many dev.s know that a violent game laced with sexual inuendo that sucks tend to sell better than the average good game with no such content.
Using violence and sex to sell mediocrity isn't a new trick that the video game business thought up and its success rate is spotty at best. I'd rather they be left to find that out on their own - just like any other form of media - rather than simply be disallowed.

I blame that fact on retarded casual gamers being the dominant "gamer" now however.
I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that technology has simply advanced allowing videogame "language" to evolve from being mostly symbolic to allowing more complex, representational concepts and, as such, video games now encompass more of the concepts we see that are common in other forms of media.
