I don't know why they had Tim on the show. For me it looks like the rather wanna sit and agree on something they don't know anything about. They are not interested in a discussion or a solution that works for both part. And that *horrible swearword* in the middle... she's just so... ARGHHH!!!
I feel sorry for Tim that he had to sit with those people and that audience. They can't just have one man from the first point of view and a room full of people from the other. *sigh*

Someone give this suave ************ a cookie or a cigar or something. I salute you! (And I'm supposed to BE a Christian!)Decabo said:
I think it's funny that he says that "the medium has recently come under fire for its violent content." No it hasn't, this has lasted pretty much since the beginning.
Also, the Lone Ranger was made for kids, if you want to allow your kids to play games get them children-aimed games like Mario. Does Mario make you sexist and violent?
Her supposed "source" was pretty ridiculous, so was the "sophistication" of games making them more horrible. Pah!

Valid points. A response of "I'll show them violence", "kill them", or "wait 'till they die" doesn't really help the "mature ratings work" mantra. I also question the necessity of violence and sex in most modern "entertainment".Good morning blues said:
The problem I have with it is that there is no accountability. No accountability to consumers or parents to know what they are buying for their children or allowing their children to experience entertainment out of their classification. There is no accountability to the media to provide validation.
There are very few to no "news" shows remaining. They are all just gussied up "talk shows". As such, they are all subjective opinion and they don't require validation. The problem is they are still presented as "news" and "objective", and people buy into it.
The bigger problem is this takes focus away from the underlying social problems that prompt the actual violence and increase the demand for violent media. Things like poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy/under-education.
If you "fix" videogames, you aren't going to solve these problems. You aren't going to reduce violent crime. It is the same fallacy for the "anti-gun" campaigns. People want to believe "take away [insert 'bad thing' here], problems go away". The problem, as always, is that objects are not capable of evil, people are. We don't want to accept that fact that people are violent because society (or their parents) failed them, or that they are naturally that violent. We want to believe it is a malicious object. If I want to visit violence on some one, the problem isn't that I have a gun that makes it convenient for me, or that I played a videogame that showed me a neat way to do it; the problem is that I want to visit violence on them. I will visit violence on them even if I don't have videogames or guns. Society failed to teach me that violence isn't the answer, or I simply failed to accept that (which would be a personal problem much deeper than a videogame can influence).
If we start to censor videogames because we acquiecse to the idea that they are causing our problems, censorship and removal of rights can occur for anything that we "blame" for problems. It will continue to keep the focus away from the root problems.
What are you talking about, us gamers are perfectly norm- ARRRRRRRRRGHH -al.
On a more serious topic, it may promote awesomeness or something.
Also, how in the hell does it promote sexism? Are they baawing that females don't get proper representation as protagonists?

Not really, but I am a sucker for ironic deaths.Georgie_Leech said:
That's what got me annoyed enough to post the video here, it gets worse when you hear the audience supporting them and booing the smart guy who was only making reasonable assumptions and speaking the truth, he wasn't even going to extremes to defend his cause like the woman in the centre.EboMan7x said:
