Clinton Would Crack Down on Computer-Generated Cartoon Sex

Via Wired:

"Clinton reveals today that she still sees the [San Andreas] affair as a victory for child safety. She describe her introduction of the doomed Family Entertainment Protection Act as a response to the "illicit" sexual content in San Andreas, and says, as president, she'd support regulation of the gaming industry.

"'When I am President, I will work to protect children from inappropriate video game content.'"

1 - These damn politicians...

There's nothing wrong with trying to protect children from inappropriate content but when they're treating it like the plague then there's something wrong, if they want to crack down on the issue then start at half assed parenting then there wouldn't be a problem of children being exposed to inappropriate content. Also, isn't the world already exposed to a lot of inappropriate things, hmm i wonder how many murders I'll hear about when i watch the news tonight or read in the newspapers. If politicians want to solve something with videogames and children being exposed to it then turn towards the parents...and until they do that they shouldn't be worrying about videogames, they should be focusing on crime.

If i want to look at some innocent anime sex simulators than that is my right! In fact, thats American!... more American than baseball... and maybe apple cobbler.

how dare Hillary to try take away my cartoon sex!

I'm fine with her wanting to regulate the industry as long as the content is still there. I still want lots of blood, guts, boobs, etc. in my games. I think it's fine that little kids shouldn't be playing games like GTA. But as an adult, I still want to see all the slimy crud I can get my hands on.

It's interesting that she's pandering to them instead of the personal rights sort of Lockian crowd that I think have a much larger presence in her party. But I think she's capitalizing on the GTA:SA fiasco. She doesn't want to seem soft on it, so she's trying to look like the iron protector of children. Shielding their innocent eyes from the terrible video games that will be the downfall of society. Just like how people thought rock & roll would be the downfall of society.

I think most Americans need a few years after Bush is gone before they'll vote republican again. Then again there's probably nobody living below Michigan who would be willing to vote for a woman or a black guy. Shame really. Obama seems like a nice enough fellow. Ron Paul probably doesn't have enough supporters to grab much of the vote and John McCain always screws up somehow. Wait...who's left? Is Kerry even going to bother running this time?

@socomnick: I'm not crazy about republicans most of the time, but McCain does seem like a great guy. For some reason, though, he just can't seem to get votes when it counts. He acts like he supports Bush's war of terror because that's what good republicans are supposed to do, but somehow I think there wouldn't have been a war if McCain would have won last time he ran for president. He's definitely a guy who knows how terrible war can be.

The plus side to this whole election? No matter who wins America...in fact the whole world will be better off next year. Even if some ice queen is telling people what video games they can or can't play.

You are absolutely right. She's not going to ban adult oriented video games. All she wants to do is make sure the idiot, virgin, programmers don't try to slip crap under any honest, well-intentioned parents nose. We'll still get to see all the great blood, guts, and boobs even if Hillary is elected (which she probably will). I'm still voting for her (unless she does something really stupid). She's going to get us out of Iraq and back in good favor with the rest of the world.

10.1 - The problem is...

it won't govern itself. Can the industry hide illicit content in its video games? Sure, this is America. Should the industry hide illicit content in its video games? No, children don't need to be exposed to that crap. I enjoy adult content as much as the next guy, but I am a licensed therapist and I work with children every day. I see how this kind of negligence affects kids. It can be damaging and can affect how they perceive the world, women, etc. Parents need to pay attention to what their kids are doing, but how can they protect their kids when idiot, virgin programmers hide crap in a game that a kid could stumble upon? Answer me that!

Nobody was about to stumble upon any hidden crap in that game unless they had a modded PS2 and knew a little bit about programming or they went online and searched out the patch that unlocked hot coffee...and even then they would still need a modded PS2. If the content can't be viewed without illegally altering the code, then the whole argument is rather moot imo.
I mean the N4G.com code could easily be altered to redirect visitors to a pornographic website or some bullsh!t white power page, but the code would have to be altered by someone who knows exactly what they are trying to do for that to happen. Should N4G then be held responsible?
Rockstar put something in the game, then decided that they wouldn't get the rating they were looking for so they removed the scene and locked down the data. Sure, they could have done more to hide it, but legally they did everything they needed to do. Unless we encourage our kids to run around breaking all sorts of copy protection laws to unlock the content, it really shouldn't be a problem. Besides...it's just a little kinky sex.
Same argument applies to the Manhunt filter debacle. Except for the part about kinky sex.
Oh and last point...both of those games are rated M. Hot coffee or no, GTA should have never been in the hands of any minors to begin with. I went out and spent a lot of money (for a guy like me) on a wii for my kid so I would have a good selection of non-violent kids games to choose from. Personally I hate the stupid wii, but as an educated gamer I realize that 90% of the games I bring home for my PS3 probably aren't suitable for my little boy.
So in my home, my kid won't be playing any violent games until he's much older and I determine he's ready. If he's going to play at a friends house it doesn't take much effort to take a look at the kids video game collection when you're dropping your kid off. Maybe give a call to the parents if you're concerned. The whole argument about how hard it is to control what our kids see these days is bullsh!t. Parents are just too lazy or out of touch. The point is, the decision about what our kids see and play should be in our hands, not some government official that the majority of us probably didn't vote for in the first place.

edit: @cmd5150. None of that is meant to be a personal attack or anything. I'm truly sorry if it comes off that way.

If by protecting children she means requiring all video game retailers to ID their customers for M-rated content, and enforcing that like alcohol or smoking, then fine, so be it. If she means taking M-Rated content out of games, then I will be pissed if she does so as President.

I am mostly for them making it illegal to sell mature rated games to people under the age of 17, just like I'm okay with the regulated sale of pornography.

However...

I wonder, if we allow that, how long it would take for her to turn us into Australia where they ban every 3rd M-Rated game.

I refuse to vote for her because of this, and her complete hatred of men. Honestly, I would rather have George Dubya again instead of her.

Also, as much as I am for womens rights, the rest of the world isn't. They won't change because we tell them to either. So when Hillary shows up at a meeting with a leader in IRAQ from the muslim community, who would view her as a whore and blasphemer for not covering her face.... I wonder how that would work. I mean, the majority of the world doesn't view women as equals, or capable of running the country. How do WE as a country expect to be taken seriously if they don't even view our leader as a real person.

I predict that if she does become president, you will see the vice-pres stepping in and helping with her duties in a lot of cases, even if it's just to be the male face of America during foreign relations.

I'm not a fan of Hillary, either, but seriously, if you have any inkling of what has gone on under the rule of Dubya in the last 7 years, you would not even think of voting for another batcrap crazy republican. Any of the wingnuts that are running on the Rep. side would be more than happy to ban all "adult oriented" video games completely. By her mentioning her "stance" on all this, all she is doing is appealing to the republican, bible-thumping, homo-hating, war-mongering, naive base.

This election is up to us (ie. those 30's and under) Our age group never votes. If we did, the candidates would start appealing to our interests, and not those of "Joe Bob" and his fifteen illegitimate kids. Do some research, folks, and freakin' register to vote.
