You also have to tell us why you're an authority on this matter and should have your opinion be valued to where we do consider the censorship at all.

They'll probably continue to get cheaper to produce them as taxes on them goes up, i don't imagine their cost will exceed tobacco any time soon

but we're getting off topic

Yeet.

I think a soft censor on realistic violence is a good idea.

Why?

People, especially young people don't need exposure to it, there may not be any evidence that it turns people into shooters but I don't think you can seriously say it's psychologically *good* for people in general to be exposed to realistic violence.

So we should be sheltered from such suffering?

You also have a very small percentage of people who are crazy and cant separate fiction like a normal person.

And then be shocked as adults?

Don't you think there's enough suffering in the world?

nobody typically sees a shooting when they are adult, you're not preparing people mentally

that's a poor arguement

I think people should be made aware of how it can manifest. Without it, we will reduce ourselves to the softest of manchildren.

Oh, so it is moral, and it's your personal opinion outweighing the generations worth of evidence in the subject. Furthermore, you go full Republican and try to cite an incredibly small minority of people to justify a blanket censorship for "the good of the people."

That's silly Tato

As well, we already have the ESRB.

I'd say this is the fault of consumers for not taking that label seriously and blindly buying their children whatever they ask for.

There's also a very small percentage of people who are crazy and commit shootings, should we take all guns away from citizens?

Yeah and i'm not saying we should make a new program, i think they should make game ratings actually mean something again, and maybe make a new in between rating between m and a

What about the very small percentage of people that rent trucks to mow people down? Should we ban U-Haul and Home Depot?

It can be done extremely distastefully, of course

nice straw men Corpse

But that is humans for you

It's the same argument you're making.

1 million people use 8ch, that's 1/350 people in the US. Should we ban speech platforms?

this is why i'm not even having a conversation with you

It's the same argument and you know it.

Because shooters can manifest on them anywhere?

I didn't say ban it though, you're making a strawman

There are soft and hard bans on guns already in the US.

Now do i think that kids should be on 8chan? no

absolutely not

not until like 16 anyway

I think that's example enough that these kinds of things can happen and get into people's hands regardless of if they're banned or not.

California and Illinois, two of the harshest states on gun control have extremely high gun violence.

How many times do i have to say i wasn't talking about banning?

It's not a ban on firearms though.

Censorship is never a good thing, Doomoo, don't support further state control over the minutia of our lives.

You can still have them.

They're just toned down and harder to acquire.
