this always puzzled me about yanks, blood, gore and dismemberment and conversations whilst wearing blood all over are fine....but mention lesbians or slip a nip and they start screaming about the children....can any american explain it?
I'm an American and honestly? I don't really know but I'll try my best.
The problem is that parents buy these games for their kids because their kids throw tantrums in the middle of the store. Instead of actually being a parent and telling their kids to shut the **** up and that they won't get the game, they go ahead and get it. They purchase the game without even thinking what it might contain. There's a reason the ESRB exists. It's so parents will actually look at what it contains. But nope, America is based around wasting money and laziness. America, for the most part, is filled to the brim with idiots. Only maybe 1% of the population in America consists of intelligent people (I'm half-expecting that by the time I'm done and I hit submit, I'll have made some grammar mistakes and will have made myself look like an idiot. So please don't hold that against me if it happens.)
Then when their kids start cursing or say they want to have sex with some hookers, they immediately go "Where did you see these things?!"
"I saw it in the game you bought me. Thanks again mommy for buying it."
Instead of the parent saying "**** I screwed up" and actually taking the game back to return it, they form some sort of group intent on banning the game from videogame stores. And if someone points out the flaws in their reasoning, well **** will hit the fan.
"This shouldn't be exposed to our children!"
Newsflash ******, you're the parent. You're supposed to control what games your kid gets. This isn't supposed to be exposed to your children. It's for the mature audience only. The ones who are able to handle this. Hence the rating of M. Next time, stop using the television as a cheap way to babysit your kids while you take a nap or talk for 5 hours with your neighbor about how Mrs. Bransford across the street got a bad tummy tuck or Mrs. O'Connor is having an affair with Mr. Bransford.
It's one of the reasons I hate America and want to move somewhere nice. Maybe make a nice little building in the forest, settle down with a girl, and just be content with nature around me. Of course I'd keep the video games.
I don't know, maybe I'll move to Italy or Greece. I'm Italian and I've always wanted to visit my namesake city, and I love the Greek Mythos.
