Singapore is a strict society morally and frankly they are entitled to be,
and seriously every country can set it's own standards for what they think is acceptable material for entertainment,
just because you think something is okay doesn't mean other people have and when you think they should be forced to accept what you deem acceptable your a hypocrit as I don't see Singapore officials attempting to ban the game in the rest of the world
tolerance is a 2 way street, leave them be.

Tolerance is fine and dandy, but when a country does not respect basic human rights, it is perfectly acceptable to stand against its policies. Not only acceptable, but the noble and morally correct thing to do.

Even if a society is utopian (which it sounds woulf describe Singapore fairly well.) The problem with utopian societies is that they do not last, and a utopian society that does not support basic human rights (fair and speedy trials, some form of representative government, religious freedom, freedoms of speech and of the press) can descend from utopia to dystopia faster than Sonic running through a loop.

 Unless Hobbes' was right.  and banning the sale of some piece of entertianment isn't exactly an issue what so ever and should be equated to real human rights abuses, banning some stupid game isn't anything 

frankly Singapore  is a well educated, literate society, and frankly they're country isn't the bottom of the barrel and frankly it is more of strict than anything close oppressive
