Video games are used for entertainment, same goes for movies. When I play Fallout and get addicted to drugs, I don't leave the house and start a crack binge.

When I played the older Ultima games like The Black Gate. I could walk down an old dirt street and swing my sword at the town kids and watch there guts spill out. Doesn't make me want to pick up a sword and start doing the same thing in real life.

It all comes down to the parents of the kids. They should know what they are playing, these games are made for adults only. Video games and movies should never take the  place of a parent.

It's always a bad thing.

Who decides what gets censored? Who declares themselves so omnipotent as to believe their line of thought is the only correct one?

Most importantly, what happens when you disagree? 

@rocket do you have kids

Nope, but when I do, I'll pay damned close attention to what they're doing. It's not society's job to raise a child.

I read my first Stephen King book at age nine and watched A Clockwork Orange at eleven. My parents were of the opinion that if I could comprehend what was happening and deal with it in a rational manner, it was acceptable to let me explore somewhat questionable material. I will do the same for my children.

This cencorship is by no means negative , I could even argue I was taking the objective standpoint in saying so.

Killing takes lives

Drink Driving Takes Lives

Drugs takes lives

Cars also takes lives ( but the benefits of cars such as ease of transport,ambulances,economy make it apparent that the benefits of veichles outweigh the apparent disadvantages.)

It's generaly accepted that Killing,Drink Driving and Drugs are harmful because of the apparent effect they have on people , we aren't dependant upon them for happiness,economic growth,survival etc infact their benefits are tiny and often limited to an individual therfore we can come to the pretty objective conclusion that the above are indeed bad.the benefits of these things are significantly outweighed by the disadvantages.

If you put all these bad elements(objectivley speaking) into a game then censorship of this is reasonable regardless of what you opinion is.

Obviously no human can truly claim the objective standpoint but that's another argument.

I hope you will be thee for them to always protect, but knowing that you are human (well if you go by AOA your actually some type of lizard) you will make mistakes, and at some point something will get by you and reach your kids…

Say for instance you turn on a cartoon for them to watch that normally isn’t bad and leave the room to make lunch…while you are gone one of the characters of the show rapes another…completely out of the blue and total off key from the normal show…wouldn’t you want some type of censorship here?

Why would you want to stack the deck against yourself….would you want every break you can get on you side?
