Serious answer:

From a legal point of view, it's unlikely that the U.S. government would be able to enforce censorship on video games that are produced, distributed, and purchased by private entities and individuals. Games are considered art and computer code is generally considered to be speech, which means both are protected under the First Amendment. Any restrictions therefore would be subject to strict scrutiny oversight from the courts, which imposes a very high burden on the government to show such restrictions are necessary. Governmental restrictions that attempt to limit First Amendment freedoms are almost always found to be unconstitutional by the courts.

Lol I found the bigger dumby

You also get people freaking out about that Anita Sarqueesio lady and folks like her. Sure, she's a dumb miserable bitch and all, but it's not like her opinion actually matters and even if it did, it's not like she could ruin video games when they're already poo poo. So if anyone makes it their mission in life to ruin video games or whatever, I say knock yourself out hoss, just too bad someone else beat ya to it

Goodness, which weepy gg meltdown is this copied from?

Like if you wanna bitch and moan every time you see a pair o' titties on the TV, it's a free country and you're free to do that, but you gotta realize that sex sells and no amount of hissy fits and stamping your feet is gonna change that and all you're accomplishing is being annoying

Ha ha these are great my dude, where are you finding all these crotchety diatribes??
