Consider the alternative - people go with their kids to the latest Popeye movie only to find out that it’s a slasher horror.
The natural result is people push their representatives for something to protect themselves.
Some form of social contract will end up existing.
- platevoltage 11mo agoPulling a wild bait and switch like that is also a death sentence for a movie. The parent could easily watch or read a review. I was a kid before the video game rating system came out. Mom wouldn't let me buy Mortal Kombat.
- intended 11mo agoWhen Popeye entered the public domain, a slasher horror movie was made on the IP. Sure - Parents should pay attention and the trailers would make it obvious. However - under your regime, there is no loss to such movies. They get some extra views from an audience segment they weren’t targeting at all. Replicate this case ad infinitum - people should check and review a multitude of things. Medicines, cosmetics, food, contracts, games etc. Firms use this as a way to offset risk onto the purchaser. I hope we can both agree - that the burden of review of regular folk is now impossible.
