Apparently parents can keep their kids away from R18+ DVD's, but OMFG! VIDEO GAMES!? THATS IMPOSSIBLE!!! WE ARE ASKING TOO MUCH OF PARENTS!!
Most consoles can play video games along with DVD's, but from what i understand, this whole debarcle is saying some parents just cant comprehend the difficulty of keeping their children away from R18+ video games, yet they already do the same with movies/music etc... which a console (PS3/360) can play anyway. and if the child has the ability to put a game in, and play it, they can easily do the same with an R18+ DVD...
Totally retarded arguement, non-gamers are saying if games need to be rated R18+ then they must have some awful content... ummmm R18+ rating for movies has been around for a while, and theres not always content that is THAT disturbing, its just not suitable for anyone under 18...
I remember seeing some douche saying "i dont want to live in the same neighbourhood as someone whos raping someone else in a video game", ummmm i have NEVER seen a scene where someone is getting raped, or the player controlling the character to rape... yet, its in a fair few R18+ movies...
Seriously, the majority of people who agree with this non R18+ bullshit are parents, and they need to pull their f**ken heads in, step up and play their role as parents, which is, pay attention to what your child is doing and make sure they are not playing/watching/doing something that they arent supposed to. It wouldnt be hard to have Video Game retailers treat R18+ games like cigarettes or alcohol...
it must be easier than ever to be a parent now... some retarded school zones, no R18+ for video games, and now they want to do a china on us and block sites. f**k that, ill look up whatever i want! im not a paedophile, so why should i be treated like one?
Good work Krudd, your doing a top job mate! Petrol is as high as ever, Aussie $ = fail, Internets getting banned, and adult gamers dont have the right to play what they want. Good work Buddy!!
Oh and congrats to the peeps who voted for him, you got what you wanted!! no f**ken complaints!!
Oh yeah, and that SA dude, i hope he gets voted out soon... Totally immature to ban something, then say "Nup, dont wanna hear any complaints, my word is final, deal with it, i dont care if your over 18, ill decide what you can and cant play"... If only we had those magical black vans that could take people like him away and we'd never see him again... OH WAIT! THE INTERNETS IS MONITORED NOW!! maybe ill get taken away by a black van and silenced...
f**k Aus Govt. End Rant.
