Hotline Miami 2 Refused Classification in Australia - Update

[Magmarock]

This is purely my opinion and nothing more:

I suspect that the OFLC is not run by old men who don't understand games, I suspect that it is ran buy ideological youthful feminists and SJW's. Doesn't this sound like the kind of issues that a modern day feminists would have a problem with. Since the begging the OFLC has been banning games and blaming Michal Atkinson for it. (Blaming a white old man) I could be wrong of course but I think it should be looked into.

And you think that a group of old farts who've never played the game know whether or not the scene is necessary moreso than the creators of the game?

You know, we don't have to speculate about this. The board has no secrets about who they are: http://www.classification.gov.au/About/BoardMembers/Pages/Classification-Board-Members.aspx

The average age of the board members (with the exception of one of which the age wasn't specified) is 46. The oldest person being 60 and the youngest 33. There are slightly more women than men on the board. Pretty much all of them are middle to upper class have some form of higher education (bachelors degrees mostly). They have various jobs like hair dressers, artists, militairy jobs and other things. They seem like fairly normal people to me, and while I think they are dead wrong about what they are doing here, blaming their age, gender or other things isn't helpful. People of all ages and genders have various stances on how much freedom of expression should be allowed and these people are in my opinion, way too far on the oppressive side. That is however their failing, not that of their age or gender or whatever. That is of course not mentioning the fact that they are probably following (admittedly vague) guidelines that come from higher up the chain.

On topic, I hope Australians can convince their more oppresive countrymen to stop banning games from being sold. Hopefully they can change the law so that games aren't banned merely for upsetting peoples feelings.

PS: I'm not posting this so you can go and harrass these people. Harrassment is morally wrong and won't solve anything. I'm posting it so people can get a picture of who the boardmembers are so they can stop throwing unsubstantiated claims about age and gender around.

Okay I didn't know that. Thanks for posting this and no I have no plans to even contact these people. I would rather the Australian government revoked their power to ban things. I think it's okay to ban things once in a while when there's very good reason. But these people are abusing their power. There really are a lot of woman on that list.

Finally I don't think harassment is something you should need to remind people not to do. They should already know this.
