Was the 90's and early 2000's more innocent in gaming than it is today?

I wouldn't say gaming was more innocent a few decades ago.

There was a lot of stigma surrounding video games back in the 90's/00's. It was the peak of "Do video games make kids more violent?" There were games that were banned from being sold, games that actually had an A rating from the ESRB, games that caused controversy and outcries from parental groups, etc.
