Having read the article on Manhunt 2 being banned, along with some trailers, this is what I have to say to you all.


These people at ESRB, who have not spent hundreds of hours developing a game, have no business dictating anything about it; their funding needs to be cut off immediately and allocated to advertising the importance of good judgment to parents and children, instead of advertising the necessity of taking away video games from judgmentally incapable parents - double the insult.

Do not put up with this. Get in the mind set that there is no alternative except the ESRB's thorough decommission. No compromises will be tolerated. Full power of creativity will be returned to those with the power to create, and power of decision to those who matter; us.

Dependence on the ESRB for approval of creative properties, such as Manhunt 2, not only nullifies your own decisions and your very power to choose what you enjoy, but it disables companies such as Take 2 and Rockstar from ever pursuing that path that interests so many human beings. This is unacceptable, and will not be tolerated to any extent.

Re-allocating ESRB financial support foruseful projects such as teaching proper manners, respect, and etiquette to school children will be of value for their future ability to judge right and wrong, and to respect themselves and those around them. There is more worry that the ESRB is intervening where they have no place than there is that violence will occur in relation to videogames.

Our children will not have to worry about any sort of thing like this, because by then there will be no ESRB or any such equivalent. Except for us, on a person to person basis, no mass intervention or prevention will occur from any outside influence. We will have complete authority over anything we do not wish our children to see, and we alone.

We will let our children know if something is inappropriate, and that they will not view it until we judge them mentally capable of doing so. We will have that understanding with our children, and we will be stronger for it. The ESRB will not be there to take over our duty as parents, and, for the good of the world, we will be better for it.

NOW BEGIN! Go on, spread the word. no excuses and no compromises.

Do we write our local representatives? - Yes.

Do we acknowledge our thorough intolerance for the ESRB? -Yes.

Do we demand decommissioning the entire ESRB organization? - Yes.

Do we succeed in attaining thorough success with absolutely no a hint of compromise? -Yes.

Great read. I pretty much agree with everything you've said.
