I dont know where you guys got the idea that there arent a lot of americans bothered by violence in games (And movies, etc) The whole rating thing was largely driven by violence, not sex. There IS some distinction at law - there is a tradition of an "obscenisty" exception for freedom of speech, and that has usually applied to sex, not violence. Which distinction is largely an anachronism from older technologies, as well as older values, Id say. |
It's easy to see in all channels, internet, politics, TV, etc. I don't say that violence don't matter to you, I say that sex matters more than it should. I don't like it when it's too mcuh sex OR violence in a game, but if I would have to choose, I'd say violence is worse. It seems like it is countrary in America. At least with the majority.

They might as well change all future copies to have the sex scenes in by default.

A swedish director's (Lukas Moodyson) first commercially successful film (****ing Åmål) had to come out under a different title in the US...
Oh, perhaps the censorship "stars" that out (is it the european Apolyton creator who's come up with the censorship or the US one?  )!? "Fugging Åmål" then, where you replace the "g":s with letters of your choice...
I think it is generally agreed upon (in Europe) that the US is quite (morally) conservative... That doesn't mean that anything goes over here, though...
I think that male politicians having mistresses in France is quite comme il faut, perhaps even a sign of virility, whereas in Sweden those things are looked less favourably upon...
BTW, isn't Chirac inofficially called "M Trois Minutes" ("Mr Three Minutes"), referring to the time he spends with various mistresses (including the time to shower afterwards  )?

ACK!
on Rockstar Games for not following the rules
anyone remember the controversy surrounding Giants: Citizen Kabuto when it first came out?
