Government finally asking if gamers want an R rating

[1AZRAEL1]

At the end of the day, it's up to the parents to filter what their kids watch and play, and it shouldn't be up to any government to make such decisions.

Spot on. The parents need to take responsibility rather than the government.

Michael Atkinson says "Gamers scarier than bikers"

Unfortunately, the gamers that do send him threatening letters, or stalking him, only harms our cause to get an R18 rating for games.

Still, the guys a tosser.

And I just read the above posts as well, the whole "small breasted woman porn" because they look too much like children is a complete bollocks.

I fear this will go nowhere, even with the discussion paper. Needing a 100% consesnsus to change is probably not going to happen, mainly due to Atkinson's resolute refusal to accept the many logical arguments of the opposing side. Its disconcerting that he is even a politician with such a blinkered closed view of any subject.

One cant have a discussion to sort out an issue if the other side completely refuses to acknowledge ones view...

Found an anti- R18 site. Thanks to gamespot. They bust out the same rubbish as Atkinson. Dont these people realise that sexual content would eb refused anyway? Yet again they whip out Rapelay as an example. *sigh* Morons, complete morons. No idea at all....
