Surprisingly enough, its not Great Britain or the other "welfare" states that forcibly look out for your own interests that decided to give it a shot. Yes, the Australian government wants to censor the internet. Say it with me.
The Australian Government wants to censor the internet.
Equally problematic in this story is the lack of support for 18+ games. In Australia, a game cannot be sold unless its been given a rating by their equivalent of the ESRB. Problem is the ESRB board doesn't have an 18+ rating, so any game that might be considered adults only or mature can't get sold there. Its artistic censorship basically. And if you've read just about any post I've ever written, you probably know how infuriating that is to me. I don't really know if the general populace is in support of such measures, or if they're just too apathetic to fight the bitter, vindictive old white men in charge, but I'm amazed I don't hear more outrage about this.
And you know, regardless of whether or not the people in Australia support this, Michael Atkinson is still a complete idiot.
If you can't spot the faulty logic in every single one of those comments, you are officially illiterate. Please leave this blog now.
