I'd wager the biggest reason they exist aside from segregating porn is so kid-friendly shops can still stock and sell M games (even if not to kids) but point to AO and say "no, we're not selling the worst rated games!"

Though Samurai Jack used its robot-death-only restriction to be absolutely brutal

Though it's kind of valid if you can't lock out the online play, especially if it includes voice/text/video communication, and doubly especially if it's the kind that invades into the single player campaign. Consoles should have a parental control mode where the console itself is online so you can play digital games and get updates and save syncing and whatnot but report to the games themselves that there's no internet connection. Obviously the real answer is "watch what your kids are doing", but it'd be nice for them to have toys where you don't have to constantly watch over their shoulders to see if dongs will pop up as avatars

Panfilo posted:My concern with some forms of censorship is giving it so much financial and political power that our culture slides into some 1984-esque dystopia where anything 'un American' is subject to sanction. Amusingly that's actually exactly what's happening in the UK. They're pushing hard for the new hate/terrorism speech laws to cover anything that "is against British values"

I like how blocking AA is supposed to be considered helpful. It's not like the filter is blocking AA because of all the potentially not-good things about the organization, it's being blocked because it relates to alcohol. It's not like it's the Binge Drinking Society of America or whatever, it's a site about an often court-mandated group that's supposed to make you stop drinking. That's not even analgous to blocking sex ed sites for being porn, that's like blocking purity ring or abstinence sites
