Jericho Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Censorship boards are useless. They serve no meaningful purpose, and as it is, they are extremely biased. I think that they should remain as rating boards, doing what they were made TO DO, rate based on content, and NOT restrict who can see what (namely M-Rated games and R-Rated movies). If anyone has any doubt about the bias/corruption of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), then you should watch the film "This Film Is Not Yet Rated".

Amethyst Phoenix Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 What I hate about them is how they seem to regard electronic gaming as a children's hobby. The age of the average gamer is somewhere in thee 20-30 range >_>In fact, it's getting stricter and stricter.Example: Manhunt vs manhunt 2.They have about the same level of violence and are both rated M. However, they forced those stupid censor pixels into the scenes in manhunt 2, that would;ve have made it into manhunt 1. But they're getting more lenient with movies. Things that would be R are now Pg-13. Things that were X (or NC-17 these days) are now R. Hell, I haven't even seen an X rated movie in years. And the previews? I bet they don't even watch them. Last week when I went to see Taken, there was the Friday the 13th preview. Jason kills a ton of people in brutal and scary ways. There's no gore, but it would still scare the hell out of a kid. I'm not against movies in any way, I just think its silly how they can't seem to get ratings right. These people are useless >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Censorship is a joke. It's like that classic South Park episode where they explain how it's ok to say 'sheet' on television, unless you mean it in actual reference to fecal matter, in which case it's not ok.

Jericho Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 One of the thing I really hate is that the MPAA cracks down on sex more than violence. You can kill as many people as you want in a PG-13 movie as long as there's no blood. If movies showed how to use condoms as much as they showed how to use weapons, the world would be much better.

PrometheusMFD Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 You also have to take into account the fact that after a while, the Government will see the incompetence of some rating systems, take that aspect of our lives over, and make the world a blander place.That is why I support selling M games to minors without an ID or parent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shore Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 its just a marketing thing now. it tries to show what audience the movie/game is for when in fact its up to the audience to make up their minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAKITTY Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Teen rating is retarded. By the time you have enough money to buy a game like SSB, you're old enough that it doesn't matter. Unless you have dick-face parents. Then it sucks to be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
