Sex No, Violence Yes
The California Court of Appeals has ruled that it’s ‘unconstitutional’ for the State to restrict the sale of violent video games to minors. Legislators had suggested that the local obscenity laws which restrict the sale of sexual content should also apply to violent content.
It’s obviously not the first time that a legal standard has been set that says it’s okay to let kids experience violence vicariously but god forbid they see something that brings people pleasure. It’s happened in the UK plenty of times. But every time it happens, wherever in the world, it just depresses me a little more.
Sex is good. Isn’t it?
