| HappySqurriel said: There is a proven theory in psychology that a (typically repeated) fantasy about performing an action has a similar effect on the subconscious as actually performing the action itself; this works in good ways as well as bad ways because a psychologist can use it to help someone with their phobia through focused imagination, at the same time though child pornography allows paedophiles to build their appetite and cross boundaries which would be less likely in the absence of child pornography.
Now, I'm not sure that the ESRB is focusing on the right thing with their ratings ... I do not believe that the graphic nature of the outcome is nearly as important as the action that is performed itself. |
I see where you are coming from on this, but I have to ask you what insignificantly small section of the population are we going to cater to next? People should not be asked to give up freedoms to suit the needs of what is probably less than 1% of 1% of the population. I won't claim to have exact stats(perhaps someone could dig these up?) but I see no reason that such a small minority should be the cause of censoring/filtering my entertainment.
I don't think you can censor/ban/blame games for these disturbed people going off any more than you can blame a lighter for a firecracker blowing off somebodies finger. The problem is not the lighter it's the irresonsible person not handling the fireworks properly.
