so having sex in games is a problm but having it in movies and selling postcards with naked women is alright. damn, australian government are really stupid beyond believes.
Can you please at least try to distinguish between 'Australia' as a collective nation, and the Australian government? Would be nice.Metalrocks said:
When did alien probing jokes become offensive? Those jokes are old as shit, why arent they allowed now?
Because it's happening in a video game and that's just not acceptable.josemlopes said:
OT: I like my country but I am awfully sick of our classification board. They are very confusing. GTA V got an R rating and the only reason given on the box is drugs. No mention of the nudity, violence etc.
It's cause our government is scared of gays and abortion. Like, both major parties are so passive anti gay marriage and somewhat passively scared of women having choices that it's really, REALLY strange.otakon17 said:
No, but I have a semi-vivid imagination, so I can imagine just how godawful such an act would actually look. I suppose they didn't see a joke, they saw what it would look like if that happened with flesh and blood humans, because, for them, those things are stand-ins.Desert Punk said:
It's posts like this that make me which these things had a 'like' button. This same thing came up in the previous news item about the southpark censoring, with someone (I really don't feel like digging around in another thread at the moment, and I'm not wanting to name someone directly anyway, bad manners and all) doing the "there's a difference between the government and the people in OUR country, please respect that" thing when absofuckinglutely nobody makes that distinction in their 'murica rants.Desert Punk said:
Yes, we all have out of touch governments full of stuffy old rich assholes who are slowly being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The people =/= The government in most cases in the world today. If people of other nationalities would make that distinction when referring to the United States, I would be more than happy to start giving them that benefit. In the meantime, I'll put it the same way as someone would if they were making comments about the United states- as a nation, you continue to vote for them. You're the only reason you're censored. Do something about it. We don't have that problem over here, as we have a founding ruleset directly created to make sure the government is checked against this kind of thing- that old moldy document y'all keep saying we should change to adapt to the modern world. Still seems plenty relevant to me.
Well, if I still decide to get this when it's released, I'll be looking at OzGameShop for a UK copy like I did with Saints Row IV. However, the way they decided to handle the Australian version almost makes me want to get a local copy.
Are you done?Desert Punk said:
Having been to the USA twice, I'm not the sort of person to tar the whole country with one brush. Heck, I wouldn't even tar the whole government with one brush, given that it's a massive entity with many different legislative branches that don't all communicate with each other.
However, if anyone wants to rag on our pathetic excuse for a government, go nuts. I'll join you.
