Good job GamerDad.

On the AO rating front, why doesn't the ESRB just bump the M rating to 18+ instead of 17+ and do away with the AO rating? There's a gray line whether a 17 years old is an adult or not. Adults Only designation has a sinister, implied meaning similar to what you find in porn. That's what scares the console makers. AO is useless, get rid of it. ESRB can always refuse to rate a game, much like BBFC, if it's too over the top. ESRB can shut up all the critics because they won't have much to stand on if M rating means those 18 or older.

lumi: Ooh, and to prove the validity of their arguments, they've deleted all the comments from the gamers/outsiders, and just left

lumi: Wow...there's worse invective and vitriol on that first feminist site's comments than in most gaming forums I've read...

SimonBob: You guys can read the feminist blogs? One of 'em has over 1400 comments -- my browser locks up when I try to load the page!

M. Carusi: That's probably the message to describe hardcore feminism in general. :P
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:35am
Tom90deg: Meh, it seems like most of the comments are "I'm right, and it you don't agree with me, you're a girl-hating masonogystic pig!"

M. Carusi: Those comment walls on the feminist blogs complaining about FP are generating some hilarious content.
