Why the Rockstar bashing?

Hey long time since i did one of these but here you go, I just wanted to talk a little bit about the bashing Rockstar is getting. I have felt for a while now that Rockstar isn't doing themselves any favours by creating these games.

But still i enjoy games like gta because there fun and i have the sense to know that its not real and killing people wont go un-punished. So why cant all the politicians and groups agasint pretty much nothing shut the hell up and realise what the games demographic is.

For example Bully or dog eat dog or whatever it will be called, I dont think is a harmful game to anyone what so ever. All i see is a game that is letting the kid being bullied be the bully. And yes there will be violence in it, but kids shouldn't be playing these games and Rockstar know this, but still the politicians and groups still say they are making these games to make a impression on kids. Which is ridiculous because if that were true, why is there a huge 18 label on the front of the box?

I just find it sad that Rockstar get all the bad press and bull crap just because there games aren't dealing with subjects or topics that havent or dont get doven into because of the hassle that comes with it. And for this i praise Rockstar because they always stick with the idea and create good games, and in the end thats all that matters.

If games were only supposed to have storys of islands with a evil demonto be destroyed or a person who saves the world, then the games market could never tap into what sells and thats giving someone a different reality to there own and that is why gta is such a success and why i think bully if good should do exactly the same thing and be a top seller to shut these idiots up.

Maybe one day games like this will just come out with no hassle at all, and if a kid trys to start fights at school on bullies then thats the parents problem and if that does happen why is the kid playing the game in the first place? Also hopefully that Thompson dude can be out of a job.... Ahh we can only dream....
