lol right

I wonder if you're consistent about this in other areas. "Backlash dignifies uninformed opinions."

Considering that I've played GTA and Mortal Kombat since both original games were released, it would be a bit ludicrous for me to have them banned. I've loved both games over the years in their various iterations. But this is not to say that when a game like GTA V throws away the sharply-observed satire of previous incarnations, and almost becomes a version of what it used to parody, that I cannot point this out, nor that it should not be pointed out by critics. GTA IV just bored me, GTA V just turned me off single player with that segment (though I may pick it up again since my internet connection is so bad here to make online play basically impossible bar some Worms 2).
So you are fine with GTA5 being out there? We're agreeing on that?

Trying to paint me as a prude is wide of the mark, rather than just someone who is dismayed by artistic laziness and crassness.
You call it whatever you like, I'm just worried that you feel it should change on your terms when you're not the creator.

In regards to the other thread, that's a side issue. Since I've had to do a bit of work on child protection and recognising/preventing abuse, I'm coming to it from that angle. What I will say is that The Rogerer made the best point in that thread, in that the prosecutors and police involved have to look at all child porn and categorise it that they bring to court for any case, so it is not a case of prudes not understanding something. They have to sit through all that shit and go home to their families afterwards. If they brought that case and achieved a conviction, I would tend to believe they had a reason to do so because what they had seen demonstrated a possible threat to the public.
I wish I was still that optimistic about our justice system.
