Oh for the love of God, don’t we have better things to do than legislate whether or not kids are playing video games that feature “stereotypical” characters? Apparently not in New York state we don’t!
There’s a bill currently floating around Albany (sponsored by Assemblyman Keith L.T. Wright, a Manhattan Democrat, seen here) that:
Prohibits the sale to minors of certain rated video games containing a rating that reflects content of various degrees of profanity, racist stereotypes or derogatory language, and/or actions toward a specific group of persons.
I can’t even articulate how annoying this. Let’s raise our kids in a bubble so that their feelings are never, ever hurt!

I’d like to thank this gentleman for being a disgrace to the Democratic Party and for trampling upon the principles of democracy and free speech.
How about worrying about the massive fiscal crisis in the state.
How about him going after his colleagues in government that allowed financial institutions to lend massive amounts of money to minorities and others that couldn’t afford to pay it back.
The ship is sinking- I think he should be the first overboard.
Venting complete.
how about we make a bill that says you have to be 18 and up to buy video games and if no then your parent have to be with you when you buy the game. since the government dont think parent should be doing their jobs.
From now on all video games shall contain generic gray non gender specific models.
Wait wait….thats not going to work. All my gray non gender specific friends wont like that.
Censorship is whack. Period.
It’s a dark day indeed :)
Way too impossible =/ So to make the story short, don’t play.
this will be helpful not only to parents but also to minors as well. There are games which are way too much for them. I think its still okay if they play those kind of games as long as there is an adult responsible person with them while playing.
