Recently Jack Thompson released a statement that all video games now-a-days should have an M (mature) rating. Then somebody that knew what they were talking about released a statment to contradict the ramblings that Jack Thompson had spewed days earlier, saying that they were actually in a decline of rated M games lately. Now, if you don't know who Jack Thompson is, lets just say you're lucky that you havent heard of him yet. He's the hater of everything videogame, and is always going on and on about the kid violence/videogame relation that is "happening all the time". He is the reason that the news has ever even given a crap about Video Games, and is almost the epidemy of why things like the idiotic Mass Effect contreversoy even start. He eggs on the media and has blown up minor problems since the dawn of video games, and I now sort of understand why. He is a prime example of primitive nature. Because of human nature we take things that are new to us and become scared of them, and things that we don't understand become the ultimate frightening demonic presence that we must be cautious of all the time. But Jack Thompson doesn't understand video games, and think they are provoking and promoting how killing is fun. Its entertainment, which no one understands except for the gamer. Seriously, just because we play GTA doesn't mean we're going to go kill some hookers and car jack random people on the street. Anybody in their right mind would understand that, but thanks to Jack Thompson more and more people are agreeing with the supposed "facts" he spews out every other week, and are starting to think of games as something that will harm anybody who gets tempted to play them. So today i am happy, because somebody is stepping up and tell Jack Thompson that he's wrong, hopefully we can see more of that in the future.
