The public is supposed to decide, by influencing the elections and standards of the people who are chosen to be sensors.galletea post=18.72819.774210 said:I agree, and I think the main problem with censors is determining boundaries. Who is too decide when the public cannot be exposed to some idea? If it continues they will err on the safe side so many times that there will no longer be freedom of expression in an attempt to protect us.
Unfortunately it isn't as simple as that, for one reason, Politicians and council heads will often lie. While we constantly struggle to get a R rating in Australia for video games, just one politician not agreeing with it will ruin it for us.ward. post=18.72819.774645 said:The public is supposed to decide, by influencing the elections and standards of the people who are chosen to be sensors.
I definitely have. You would expect in a game where you can fill a van with C4 and drive it into a building and fulfill your terroristic desires they would atleast allow the world sh#t?neoman10 post=18.72819.774718 said:Any of you notice the censorship of the word shit in Mercs 2?

Yeah censorship never happened with any religion in the past did it? Its actually quite annoying all this anti scientology stuff. Most religions started out in the same way, christiany was a secretive mystery cult in Ancient rome and was infact regarded as a terrorist organisation by the Romans. Just because they go about things in a different way doesnt mean they dont have something meaningful to say. By the way Im an Odinist who hates organised religion, but I also hate hypocracy.Zallest post=18.72819.774683 said:I love the topic of Scientology and their Internet censorship. The fact that they elude the eye of most people to is annoying and upsetting because most people should really know about this.
When your religion is censoring everything about their religion and threatening people with death who expose anything, it should be payed attention too.
Spot on dude. They don't like something, so they use all their cash and power to try and make everyone else think the same way as them. Hitler tried that and look what happened to that fascist bastard.Khell_Sennet post=18.72819.774825 said:I'd say its about censorship overall, not that too soon factor.Zallest post=18.72819.774417 said:Are we taking into the account the "To soon" factor of censorship? like how you can't making jokes because it was to soon and won't be funny because the event is still fresh in the mind?
or
Is this about internet censorship? where the "To soon" factor doesn't apply (See Assholes Handbook page 257) and any and every joke is made to offend and enjoy?
Personally i think some things should be censored for a while...
I for one abhor censorship. Parental controls are iffy grounds but until you are smart enough to bypass them, you aren't mature enough for the content its hiding. But otherwise, anti all censorship.
Put it this way. If you don't like something, you can turn off the TV, close the browser tab, walk away from the source, or otherwise ignore it. Why should one person's dislike of something result in the removal of everyone else's enjoyment.
This is also why I feel the MPAA and ESRB and all their kind need to be shut down and banned by law. It's not just an impartial board giving ratings to advise the public, they influence how a movie/game will be made because their age limits are enforced restrictions instead of friendly suggestions. Fuck them, if they want to spend their time saying "Terminator 2 should not be seen by anyone under 18" fine, but that should not translate into anyone under 18 not being allowed to see it. Who the fuck are they to decide what someone can and can't watch? And who the fuck are they to influence and/or scare production companies into lowering their objectionable content for an easier rating?

Now I'm not saying they have to show sex instead of imply it, but they really need to stop censoring cussing on TV by changing the words:
Bad News Bears Before: "Bullshit!"
After: "Bullspit!"
DOOM Before: "Shut the fucking door!!!!!"
After: "Shut the front door"
Have you seen the censored Hot Fuzz?
It's just...terrible.
