Creators of video games can't be artists and shouldn't care about not having the freedom to create what they want. Good for you. Great post. Their freedom shouldn't restrict your right to not have anything consumed by anyone that doesn't meet your taste.

Puritanical bullshit americans chose to make violence okay, yet *dog forbid* we see a nipple in a wardrobe malfunction that looks the same as the one we suckled on as infants.
