wasn't it clinton that brought the game ratings?

For the record I didn't see anyone actually mad, only people complaining about people being mad. Outrage about outrage farming possibly

this shit happens in like 90% of reddit threads tbh i believed it

Yeah my view is if you're censoring stuff, especially just short scenes of an episode, it's to make people think it never happened. Where if I'm watching old stuff I don't want to pretend like people didn't think bad things back then, it's a way to see how we've come

probably? But Reagan and his nutjob christian wife still kicked it all off

Im sure some especially egregious stuff can be lost into the ether but most just a disclaimer

I think Mortal Kombat made ppl mad and thats when it started iirc

 

[Butters]

[Chris]

[Butters]

also a game called Night Trap

The 4 major games responsible for censorship were Night Trap, Doom, Mortal Kombat, and Wolfenstein.

that is also my philosophy on the matter. I do not like pretending things were not done or said - that makes the conversation go away completely and we WANT to talk about these things and why it is bad now but was somewhat acceptable at the time - it's always an opportunity for education outside of a few things like you said

 

[Bobby Barrows]

iD singlehandedly was responsible for PC games being censored for a while.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

but such is the tolerance paradox too
