Want to encourage the development of fresh and creative games that encorporate adult themes? Want to liberate gaming from the tyranny of mindless for-profit sequels and the cult of “family friendly” gaming?
Here are the steps:
1. Wipe out the “AO” rating level and boost all current MA games to a strict 18+ age limit. Reformulate the ESRB rating system. Protect AO content by erasing the fictional, absurd, and counterintuitive barrier between AO and MA.
2. Lobby lawmakers to draft anti-copyright laws that effectively destroy console licensing agreements currently used to control, manipulate, and censor content.
3. Allow the free market to function at a retail level. Allow consumer demand to fuel the production of games marketed and sold for adult consumption.
4. Once the conditions listed above are met, encourage passing laws that strictly police the sale of adult games to minors. Shift the focus of this debate from “save the children” to “censor ‘immoral’ content.” Defeating freedom hating morons is far easier than defeating frenzied parents who have a valid point at times.
5. By law, government critics cannot actually censor the content of games. Censorship right now occurs at a micro, supply side, level. For critics who enjoy bitching, allow them to bitch and cry themselves into the corner. Their absurd morality and gullible superstition are applicable only to those deluded to believe such nonsense. Properly enforcing step four should kill most bitching of this type.
Optional Step 6: Continue illustrating the irrelevancy, contradictions, absurdity, and evil nature of contemporary moral norms derived from superstition. Replace superstitious value systems with value systems that respect personal and moral autonomy. Make it clear that fictional forms of entertainment, that cause no direct harm to anyone, function outside the realm of morality.
