I'm not worried about addiction. I'm worried about the slippery slope of becoming complicit in cooperating with people who engage in torture.
> But that's why we have parents
So, you'd rather make their job harder?

Or easy. I don't expect or want the government to tell me what my kids can, and cannot see. That's my job, my burden. It's what I signed on for when I had kids and got married.
- niels_olson 15y agoAnd part of our burden is having the conversation. Part of our burden is trying to make the society we want our kids to live in. I frankly have no problem with slapping Gamestop with some hefty fines if they decide to start selling scantily clad, dripping-with-blod warrior princesses to my kids for $19.95.
- johnsonman 15y agoDo you apply this to other mediums, such as movies? They are also self-regulated, so theoretically your kids could also purchase "scantily clad, dripping-with-blod warrior princess"-themed movies from a video store that isn't following the industry regulations.
- bdunbar 15y agoThere is not much one can say to that. Thanks for your replies, it's been a great conversation, Doc.
