Kids shouldn't be playing M rated games in the first place. It's the parents fault if they do, not the governments. But adults can play whatever they want. In that regard, there is no difference between violence and sex since they both are part of the game and story, so why should it matter; as long as your an adult.
I wish they would keep all the trendy rap and pop garbage out of video game trailers, and the games themselves. When I see a trailer with some top 10 hits type of crap it just makes me not want the game.
"Defining gender roles" is the problem right there. It's a game, not a political propaganda piece to push social agendas. Take your politically correctness and affirmative action out of my games.
And, who cares if it IS sexist? It's a game meant for Adults, being it is M rated. So, if a child gets a hold of it you ask the parents why they aren't doing they job, not set around trying to censor game companies and pass redundant lows. It's quite simple, if it upsets you, don't buy or play it. Problem solved. As far as "gender rolls" that is more nonsense talk. It's a GAME, the only role is to entertain and enjoy. Not meet political or social agendas. Keep your agendas to yourself and keep them out of my games.
@PixelAddict : And it never will "mature" unless you brainwash people into some Socialistic Communist Marxists mentality, which is actually what Politically Correctness is. Brainwashing. The female body is natures art, so people want to look. I sure wouldn't want to play a game with some ugly female in the lead role, would you? Not to say women aren't strong and can kick @ss, because they are and can. However, try having an ugly lead male in a role, it will fail just as much. The fact is by separating people into "minority groups" you create more of a problem than before, eventually making the "majority" group the "minority" in the end. Setting around worrying about meeting certain political and social agendas while you are creating art, is NOT ART. It's propaganda.
