Universal ratings system is only ideal to a few, those who want it everywhere and those who are paranoid with fear from those politicians who beet the F-n drum most of the time....
The rest of us, Videogames and Movies and Music are rated differently by different ratings systems for the commercial market.
Also for those who will do anything to force those same ratings onto games on the internet, well you CAN"T have ratings for games on the internet because it is just not possible because the internet is not a market, it is more like people who have made a game themselves can self rate a game in their own way, it is just too much time and money to just try to get an official rating from the Commercial market.
Before you ever take drastic action on the industry, THINK how you would like it if you are making something special for you, and have someone from the outside barging in onto your creative work telling you that you can't do this or you will have to put a Universal; rating on it and go though all the f-ing process of getting it rated when it was just a simple piece of art that you just wanted to make for fun...

Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Ooh, and to prove the validity of their arguments, they've deleted all the comments from the gamers/outsiders, and just left
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Wow...there's worse invective and vitriol on that first feminist site's comments than in most gaming forums I've read...
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:19am 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!
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:49am 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!"
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:30am M. Carusi: Those comment walls on the feminist blogs complaining about FP are generating some hilarious content.
Posted 07/24/08 at 08:48am E. Zachary Knight: @ lunatic, What you see is what you get. Once a comment gets pushed off it is gone forever.

Posted 07/23/08 at 06:15pm Rodrigo Ybáñez García: Jack is a repressed man. Don´t be surprised...
Posted 07/23/08 at 06:07pm GryphonOsiris: So Jack admitted paying for gay porn... all I can say is wow... just wow...
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: to the case, and he's been on 60 minutes once!
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: GP, you should mention you'll be filing a legal injunction against him if he doesn't comply. Phoenix Wright will be attached
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:32pm Alteffor: You should add a section to the site for anything Jack CC's to you. It's always entertaining to read the stuff he writes.
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:31pm Matriculated: Does anyone know when the Supreme Court reaches their decission?
