My friends, let me draw your attention to a little video. It’s from a guy named Adam Sessler, who is a host of a video game show on G4 called X-Play. Recently he got into a discussion on NPR with Jack Thompson, a free-speech hating censorship adovcate. Radio being what it is, he didn’t get to make all the points he wanted to. Take a look at the video here and see what he has to say. I think it nicely sums up censorship in general and video game censorship in particular.
You know, people keep wanting to say that video games are different, and the violence in them is more powerful, so they can corrupt our children! Well, they used to say that about comic books, TV, radio, movies, music, etc. Hell, Glog the caveman probably got unhappy about his kids seeing pictures of mamoth hunts on the cave walls.
People like Jack Thompson are far more dangerous to America than people who make and sell video games. Censorship is bad, no matter what form it takes. Please try to remember that. Thank you!
