Overall, it's simply too idealistic. It just sounds like the wet dream of a neoconservative who wants to tell other people how they should live their lives.
And we have a term for those kind of people. They're called communists.
But I suppose I'm a bit confused cause I thought any rating/censorship agency was generally a government agency. Is that not the case?
The ESRB is a nonprofit organization whose ratings have become a standard for all video games. Jack Thompson wants the ESRB to be taken down and be replaced with a government agency, bundled with some video game legislation. Too much possible corruption if you ask me.
I only fight defensively, really. And any time I have been in a fight, the other dude was never standing. That's that football training at work.
But back on subject. ESRB has come into question because they don't have the resources to thoroughly examine the content of games, making them questionably capable of doing their job. People have cited the Hot Coffee mod as an example of this. People like JT have imposed the idea of a government regulated rating system. Thoughts?
In light of this crusade against violence in video games, it brings up an interesting point. Should we reform the video game rating system? Should we impose a certain level of legislation on the matter? Should Jack Thompson go fuck himself? Go ahead and share your ideas.
