There is no evidence to support anything you have stated. The MPAA also does an amazingly **** job at rating things and actually harms the medium.
Really? No evidence? Violent video games like Grand Theft Auto DON'T harm children - and could be therapeutic | Daily Mail Online
You, sir, are out of line.
Let me google that for you
So far we have a couple of votes for no ratings of sex, violence or inhuman behavior. My guess is that some posters in this thread, or people who have voted are looking at this from the angle of civil liberties. I doubt that deregulation of sensitive content will happen. Children are consumers now, more than ever. My question for you folks who want neither the industry, nor the government to rate media for sensitive content is: should families be the only gatekeepers for minors?
For instance, movies that are shown in theaters before being sold as video are rated by the MPAA. Businesses like movie theaters and retailers are protected from angered guardians by laws which restrict their viewers to a certain age group. Consumers are protected by knowing that age-appropriate material will segregate moviegoers by theater according to their age. Frozen 2 won't be shown to the same age group as the Lazarus Effect, nor should it be sold to the same group of young people.
Specifically, the group of people who saw the Lazarus Effect last year saw a movie rated for children 13 and older with a parent or guardian in attendance. They might see Frozen 2 next year, but the same people who see Frozen 2 next year who are now under 13 should not watch the Lazarus Effect until they turn 13.
Where the hell were you talking about that? You claimed that immoral acts in media can harm children, there is no evidence for that.
Undesirable traits and behavior in society are often falsely attributed to long term exposure to violent, sexual and other types of behavior in video game characters.
You know...I was about to come in here and say that video games are harmless to children, as long as parenting is in place to teach little snowflake "right" and "wrong."
But then again, "parenting" is such a foreign concept for a lot of folks.
