Where Politics And Video Games Collide

I'm sorry if I gave you the impression I was tarring everyone with the same brush. I really wish the more reasoned posters like you would be more vocal at decrying some of the nonsense and FUD that gets posted.

The thing is, I don't think there is one right or wrong answer. I am not so arrogant that I believe my word and opinions are gospel. I concede that there are some good points on both sides of the argument. I think the BBFC is a good thing. Does that mean I think its right for America? Possibly not because of how politicized media violence has become over there. I could argue that the Manhunt 2 fiasco is an example that the process works.

To be fair I only really jump in when I feel that facts are being distorted or misrepresented. I have gone into great lengths in prior stories trying to disprove myths about the BBFC and highlighting the process of classification not only of video games but other media too. A lot of comments are baseless innuendo which only seems to feed the more paranoid posters. It’s just funny that it seems to me like the flipside of attitudes of anti-gamers. You know, that they see conspiracy and malice at every step. I invite people to look back at the comments attached to prior articles on the BBFC's & VAC classification decisions to see what I mean now that we know how the entire thing has played out.
