I agree mostly.
I feel a lot of people see something being changed as some sort of personal victory and want to use it to prove their moral superiority like a 6 year old taunting a classmate with their ice cream cone.
Trolling or otherwise, I still like to ask for reason. They generally give you their reason, even they don’t realize it. 
Because games rated T are allowed to have: gory violence, suggestive scenes (think mildly suggestive), crude humor/language, drinking and gambling, etc.
By the ESRB’s rating WoW is fine mostly due to it’s art style, which cartoonizes most blood/violence. If it were hyper realistic then yeah, that’d be horrifying…
The ESRB rating is with children in mind, even teens, to really get into the depraved stuff that society as a whole deems “inappropriate by any means” you have to get into the 18+ or “M for mature” or “A for adult” ratings, which honestly if someone lets their kid buy/watch is terrible, that’s not for kids/teens.
WoW is rated T for Teen, meaning anyone in the biological bracket of 13+ can legally play it. If people are letting their 12 and - kids on it… that’s a parenting issue, not a game one, like the dev who let their pre-teen daughter on…
Not surprising. I think my parenting style is likely more in sync with my European counterparts rather that my American ones.
My daughter is in her second year of college as a Math major so I think I did ok. 
the ESRB ratings dont really mean anything anymore. they were used at one time to age restrict who could buy mature games. California had a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court where the end result was that video games were declared free speech and ESRB ratings can’t be used to regulate their sale.
so, legally, you could sell GTA to children with an E for Everyone rating. why the ESRB still exists is beyond me, but since theres no link between video games and violence and an entire generation of kids raised on doom and mortal kombat are now productive members of society, there’s no need to bother with a rating system anymore.
I haven’t spoken to you at all, so not sure where you are coming up with this reply to me.
We’ve tried really hard to not do this. Protecting too much seems to end up in a person overindulging when they’re finally free to choose and exposed to too much at once. Sensory overload like that on someone who is already battling budding hormones is a dangerous cocktail.
I feel like fault lies with parents that would rather shelter their children versus teach them, they want to hide them from everything in the world to save their self the trouble of talking with them and explaining it openly because of their own fear and prejudice.
they save their self at the cost of the child that wont know how to function in a real world, most the time leading to drug problems or underage pregnancy… or worse.
It has nothing to do with them trying to “protect the poor children”, I mean hell we just has a mass murder take place and they didn’t even bat eye over it. This is purely them trying to earn “that a ‘boy’” from their detractors from removing content they may find offensive.
Has anyone else noticed that the gnomes profile is hidden so you cant put her on ignore?
she had 500 achievement points, its obviously a trolls dummy account, they just on a rage because they got banned
i say this as a troll, its the way.
Stop caring about other people’s forms of entertainment. Your opinion isn’t the only one in existence.
Agreed. And hi, B! We’ve missed you around here. 
Your kids shouldn’t be playing a game where we slaughter people. Find other games. This one isn’t it.
It is for 13+.
I feel the same way! And I also feel like they’re just trying to remove women entirely. They made my Nelf run like a football linebacker back when they changed the models. They’ve already decreased the shape of the female body. Now they’re removing paintings, too. Women are being treated as objects that are inappropriate now. That’s not a good feeling.
100% I wish I could upvote this more.
Yeah that is exactly it. I mean we kept viewings of things on a fairly appropriate age level (but that goes for any more adult themes), but we didn’t outright ban anything and my daughter turned out quite well if I say so myself.
When I think about this weird attitude I have an actual memory of when I was in my early 20s (years before my daughter was born) and I was at a friend’s house watching the movie First Knight and she would legit cover her son’s eyes if anyone kissed and I am sitting there like… they are stabbing people with swords and that is a-ok but lord forbid they show they love someone?
I wasn’t. I was talking about society at large. If the shoe fits though… shrugs
lol, okay - then these new pieces should also be beautiful for you. Even museums swap out pieces for variety.
You do realize that in Urban parlance a “fruit basket” is another term for mooning someone right? So enjoy that bowl
The village called… they want you back.
In the current landscape partial female nudity isn’t acceptable. Partial male nudity is fine though, Brave has lots of man butt and it managed a PG rating.
I remember reading a thread years ago about the tired topic of female armor, and I asked what the difference was between that and a shirtless barbarian with huge muscles. Mary Sue’s reply was that the shirtless barbarian wasn’t designed to make males horny. Negative body image, something that both genders have to deal with, wasn’t a concern. A warped perception of men as getting turned on by pixels is the root cause of this stuff.
The current landscape is what happens when a generation of women grow up without father figures
well i don’t associate with those people - normal people see a basket of fruit.
Quit saying “quit.” And what do you think this game is? A car?
