im in maryland, so i cant help much worry about my neighbors, especially since you guys saved the country in 2016

My representative's office is literally like a ten minute walk from my house. If I wasn't away at college I'd gladly request to meet with the guy in person.

@meratrix one change its not just violent ones. Its any rated Mature or Adult.

I've sent it in already. I see what you mean, but I think I need to use the language he'd be familiar with. Most people aren't even aware that there is a rating system.

They are using the auspices of violence to tax more than viokence, and really not tax all violence cause there is quite a bit of it in rated T games.

@meratrix I know the dude, I'm not just gonna copy pasta him lmao

I requested a response, which he is obligated to send me, so if I need to clarify that a rating system does already exist in a follow up I definitely will.

Eh tbh i have never been a fan of the rating system anyways. The ESRB is made up of reps from various companies, they charge for the ratings, and have been known to use this to edge out smaller developers. As well, none of it is actually legally binding. Yes some companies have company rules about selling M games to those under 18, but it isnt like alcohol or tobacco.

Yeah, but just live movie ratings, it's up the parents to be responsible.

The rating system is just there to provide information to the parents so they can make an informed descision.

the ratings systems that we have now is just fine. it the parents that need to step up there jobs on what content they let their kids play and watch

^ this

Tbh move ratings are far more inforced than video game ones.

@Nordhand theres a downside. Parents are becoming less and less allowed to be parents. And tbh this tax isnt about stopping people from playing. Its just a money grab.

yep ^

Ah yes Jim Sterling who wanted a game pulled off of steam because it was VIOLENT and offensive towards anti bolsonaro and the Brazilian establishment has an opinion now huh. Fuck the PIG.

Ugh his comments are literally bunch of npcs repeating his bs word by word lmao

I watched a razorfist video the other day and he totally destroyed sterling

it was savage and hilarious

wich one?

sterling have been a joke and a sjw shill for years. he have his moments but they are rare. when Dead or alive beach wallyball 3 debacle was on, he was like sjw are not after your video games but sexy female boob game is haram and needs to be banned and the developers burned to the ground

Yeah, I fucking hate Jim Sterling for all his bullshit, but hey, credit where credit's due.

Nah I'm afraid he's past the point of redemption/but credit where credit's due. A rapist, who is still actively raping, will never be a good advocate for rape victims. Him even opening his mouth regarding violence in video games is bad.

But I guess it's true his viewers seem to be rather oblivious

I don't like him, it's just that his video is the one that brought this to my attention this time.

Np then I sometimes come across shit from Kotaku or IGN just to find about something. But listening to a single opinion of theirs makes you a brainlet imo

Alright just made a short post on his reddit merely asking a question and got insta banned

Ha

`why do niggers Smell so bad?`

Is that a symptom or the cause?

Both

Are any of you nerds cool enough for Elite?

The prisoners had to have 8 hours of sleep or they get mad, but those poor workers never sleep or eat...
