Hey Germans make a huge fuss over a centuries old symbol so that's something which doesn't come off as a surprise.
Not right. In Germany you can buy beer and wine with 16, not other alcohol. Use of alcohol does not make a game 18+ here, and you buy 18+ games online. Swastikas are nowadays allowed in games.

"Why is kirby E10+?"
Every kirby final boss:
Rated E for eeeek that's scary
Yea first thing that came to mind was Kirby 64 boss. That's a T for Teens right there LOL
Void Termina (roughly being translated as "Final Eternity" or somesuch analogy for the universe's heat death) is definitely worth that E10 and up rating. I don't care if beating the boss is a wholesome moment where all of our friends enchant our soul so we can turn Void Termina inside out, the concept of an eternal afterlife consisting of nothing but emptiness and inaction being given physical form and a will to drag people into it is kinda... *Woof*.

Also parents: *OMG THIS GAME IS SO VIOLENT HOW MY KID PLAYS IT, ITS ALL DEVELOPERS FAULT SUE THEM AND BAN THE GAME
To be fair. Those new parents were the children of the parents who asked for the ratings. Like if your parents asked for ratings and you didn't like it. So you act like it doesn't exist when you become a parent.
Lalboi Manlun but then they complain about it
AO is so weird because it’s only 1 year more than M, so if it weren’t for pornography, it would be extremely redundant
Funny enough the rating for TV only go up to 17 (TV-MA) HOWEVER for the Redo of Healer it say "18+-DSV" in this case I fell it especially redundant since the definition of TV-MA already says "strictly for adults" (and yet 17+). Now it's still rated TV-MA on streaming (it's censored however) though what's interesting is NC-17 (which is like AO for movies) is allowed on streaming and yet the ratings for TV still only go up to 17However it seems after that Sentai did realize how silly that all was and decided to raise the age of TV-MA to 18 unofficially. When I told someone it was 18+-DSV they said "that's what Game of Thrones should be with an added L"
Now it was similar for Interspecies Reviewers, it was rated TV-MA for 3 episodes (censored) but then it got pulled off the air and on blu-ray was re-rated to an 18+ warning screen (which is usually used for p***. It applies to games too.)
Now in Australia it was re-rated for MA-15+ to just banned!
In Germany it was rated 16 with one 18 episode (that being the very one that got it taken off the air in the US...hmm).
Now they said the manga was tamer which honestly makes sense considering was rated the AO equivalent (Ironically called M) but the show was rated EVEN higher than AO (yet still no p*** somehow?)
thanks for the like man
It's because the big gaming companies self regulate these ratings. The ESA, the trade association who makes ESRB ratings (AND held E3) is sort of a joint venture of many big gaming companies (Sony, MS, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, Squenix, Bamco etc.).
They themselves make the rules with ratings, which is why you'll often see somewhat random ratings, especially on their games, probably for marketing reasons.
They came up with AO to make up a reason for banning games from their consoles, to avoid situations like having corn games on their consoles or anything else deemed socially unacceptable at the time. It's 18+ because they literally can't force a higher age rating, and M is 17+ to differentiate from AO but still require someone to basically be an adult.
So AO and M are two different types of games; both are too mature to leave to kids, but AO are the games console makers don't want on their platforms, while M rated ones are desirable.
@@leonro Many porn games don't seem to be rated by the ESRB (in fact some of them say "mature audiences only 18+") which is funny because I remember this hentai "Fire in His Fingertips" which had a cut version (which is said to be TV-MA) and a porn (which was 18+ only) when TV-MA already has the word only in the definition "mature audiences only" in fact like I've mentioned before I've seen other hentai stuff that says exactly that. So it seems whoever made the "TV-MA" thought 17 was an adult. SO ALL THAT OVER ONE TINY MISTAKE? To make it even funnier I've seen blu-ray of "normal" TV shows that say TV-MA but also "for ages 18+" plus the "safe for TV" version of "Fire in his Fingertips" is still 18+ on Prime video. Since they have their own rating system (Still no porn) well they sell it physically they just don't stream it!
When I was like 12, I went to GameStop to buy a Mortal Kombat game, they wouldn’t let me buy it without an id, so I went home and told my dad and he took me back bought the game for me and told the manager that if I ever went in there I had my dads permission to buy any game I want. I went in a few years later to buy something else, the worker went to ask me for my id and the manager jumped in and said nah he’s good, his dad said he could buy whatever he wants.
Bro you must’ve felt like a king anytime that happened lmao

It's honestly weird how all my friends in 3rd grade played M rated games.

Besides when I played games at my friends' houses, the first time I really played an M rated game was at 17.
My parents are also very strict, all my friends were playing GTA at 7 while I played Mario 64 DS for YEARS. I had to wait 2 years before I could buy Smash Bros for 3DS because of the rating

Step 3: Blame someone/everyone else for your blunder
What if your child is age 15 or above?
Not to mention the media and politicians blame videogames for societal ills such as mass shootings, and violence despite the fact there is has been a decrease in violence as games increase in popularity, they tend not to look at "access to gun" as a reason for the shooting, and is clearly just a red herring

My mom drove me to a Game Crazy store, i went in with the sole purpose to buy "The Warriors" on ps2, when i came out of the store holding a copy of Bully, she knew something was wrong, i told her they wouldn't let me buy the game i wanted because it was Rated M, and my mom went in and bought it for me, i ended up getting both and they were two of my favorite games on the system. There's a lot of talk about parents not caring about what they buy their children, but my mom did, she had let me play rated M games back when i was like 8-10, i don't remember if she ever sat me down to discuss like "this is fiction, yada yada" but it was always obvious to me that video games aren't real, the same way movies and tv aren't. I grew up playing games from all over the ratings board and i don't remember ever being "that kid" who would only wanna play the most violent games, i was all about gameplay and genres. I liked the open world of grand theft auto, the fun combo fighting systems of The Warriors and Bully (all Rockstar titles interestingly) but i also loved games like Tony Hawk, Ea Skate, Little Big Planet, Fallout 3. Having a nephew who is now 13 going on 14, i fully understand the problem though, he is awful, his mother never let anyone curate what media he consumed until he was already 10-11, now she is overly strict and i can sympathize with both of them while also resenting spending time with them. I think the take away is that you should definitely take an interest in what media your children are consuming, but that doesn't mean you need to immediately censor and coddle them. Children are a lot smarter than we give them credit for, but their perceptions and personalities can be easily swayed if you don't sit down with them and just talk, get to know each other, don't make them view you as some abstract authority figure.
I mean like Bully is already like the kid version of Grand Theft Auto

Something many people don't know about is that in the early days, Pinball machines were more akin to Pachinko machines, as they lacked the flippers and bumpers which allowed user input after the initial pull of the plunger. So in the 1930s and 1940s, they were considered a serious form of gambling, not that different from slot machines.

It’s amazing how someone who isn’t a parent knows more about parenting than many parents
IKR?
Adults were kids at one time.
They know what parents did when they were kids, and what their friends parents did.
They know their perspective and they have informed opinions.
Just because someone might not have a kid doesn't mean they don't have valid ideas on parenting.
@@billybobjoe198 It's not that Scott is an amazing parenting advisor, it's just the stupid ass parents in the world who have a child and fail to take proper care of them because they never wanted one in the first place
There's a high number of people that should not have a kid
@@shadow4040 True.
Fun Fact: I think due the such thing like "Why are Early Childhood rated "not for everyone"?" or "If they're Early Childhood rated games that means that Everyone rated games des it means that Everyone rated games are a lie?" or something like that, the Early Childhood rating is taken down.
honestly i feel like EC games should just be like those E rated games that have no descriptors in the back, some E rated games has nothing on the back that suggests anything bad, so why isn't it EC?
I don't think that the EC rating conflicts with the E for Everyone rating as EC implies that there's an educational aspect to the gameplay that only young children will actually get enjoyment out of while E for Everyone means that everyone can enjoy it.
@@allthelonely4287 That's the most-correct assessment of the difference between EC & E,that I've ever seen. I think the official ESRB explanation is essentially what U just said. But,without saying that only young children would enjoy the game(they seem mindful of the repercussions of saying that & the way ppl treat them like they're a branch of the gov,or something)...
Anyway,it can easily be read online what their "official" definition is. But,for an off-the-cuff explanation,I would say U nailed it... :)
-Peace
The reason Ec exists is to specifically indicate edutainment games aimed at pre-school through to kindergarten and 1-2 grade children. Those kids can play Everyone rated games, but they may be too hard or complex for them, or not appeal to young children. A truck simulator, football game, and cartoony platformer could all be rated E for Everyone it applies to a vast range.
EC is dead now due to being used rarely but I think it existed to show parents that older kids (like 6 or 7) wouldn't want to play it. For example a Barney, Caillou or Peppa Pig game wouldn't be enjoyed by kids out of kindergarten, granted with those franchises, that's pretty obvious but if it was an original game, it could be harder to tell. Also E rated games might require a lot of reading (Pokemon for example) that a 5 year old wouldn't really be able to do.
My dad bought me saints row 3, 4, and skyrim when I was in elementary school. He saw he made a mistake but instead of taking it away he always made sure to remind me when he watched me play that I should know the difference between the game and real life. I feel like that helped me a lot more than just telling me the game was bad for me. I already knew the difference, but I feel like that would work with other kids by completely separating the games from being applicable to reality instead of pretending it can have an effect on the real world.

ESRB makes PEGI almost look professional
Ikr
The PEGI rating system look almost like Brazilian's rating system, applied for series, movies, cartoons, videogames. The list with their background colors:
L - Green (L means "Livre", which means "Free", free for all audiences)
10 - Blue
12 - Yellow
14 - Orange
16 - Red
18 - Black
The truth is... it should be enough... if a game is 17+ then being a few years younger isn't a big deal, but you shouldn't let a 10 year old play it.
@J The Nerd Yeah, they could just change the word, replacing the bad word, and the game will come back to 3+ or whatever Sonic games usually have in Europe.

"Promotes violence against women."
Ahh, I see. A game where you are meant to PREVENT people from dying, a game where you are berated for letting the women die, is promoting violence against women...
WHAT
Reminds of me of when Anita Sarkeesian released a video about video games promoting violence against women and showed footage of a game (can't remember which one) where the player murdered women and used it as evidence of this. Except the actual objective was to protect those women not kill them meaning they purposely did the opposite for the sake of selling their bullshit narrative.
+Flrs91 If I recall correctly, it may have been Hitman? I do remember one of these "feminists" trying to say that video games promote violence towards women, by murdering NPCs in Hitman, who were female strippers.
Even though, the point of Hitman is that you SHOULDN'T kill people if it isn't necessary, because stealth is the aim of the game, and the dialogue that they bothered giving the women makes you feel sorry for them (e.g. references to one of the girls having to perform sexual acts for her boss, just so she doesn't get fired, because she needs the money, to provide for her young daughter, as she's a single mother).
:P
Reminds me of the "virtual rape" news report that showed players online in GTA "hacking the game, and performing graphic and realistic sexual acts" (i.e. Mild humping gestures whilst a traffic cone floats above the player's head).
Evan Blenkinsopp Some things just never change. Uninformed people making decisions for those who do know better, people saying something even though evidence explicitly points against it in order to push some bullshit rhetoric, what Flrs91 said, etc..
gotta love the current outrage metoo sjw culture
Flrs91 Welcome to faux news! We make shit up and try to make people dumber! Let's use concrete evidence and turn it against itself because that makes sense!
Remember, Americans hate logic and many are flat-earthers, neo-nazis, or feminazis.

It’s over a decade ago how is that recent?
Ducky Duck RSC Because the ESRB was made in the ‘90s. In comparison, that’s recent.
I always thought E 10+ was a staple but no, it was a new addition
Explains why Melee (2002) and console versions of The Incredibles (2004) were rated T.
Still doesn't explain why the first LEGO Star Wars game (April-October 2005) was rated E despite all future console LEGO games being rated E10+.

I work for GameStop and working there has taught how much of a joke the ESRB ratings are, I had a mother bring in her elementary school aged children in to pick out some PS5 games and we have at least three signs notifying customers about the ESRB ratings. The daughter picks up The Quarry and asks her mother for the game and she says no because it is a scary game and turns to me for confirmation. She then tells her to put it down and the mother says “Here why not this one instead? Uh Doki Doki Literature Club!” my brain went into full panic mode as I tried to explain why her child shouldn’t play DDLC without using words that could cause my management issues.
“Oh it’s only some depression, a little bit of body horror, and some existential crises, she can handle it!”
I am beyond happy that I was old enough to purchase my own games by the time E10 was implemented. My parents actually did their duties when it came to buying their child video games. But they were a little overzealous about it in my opinion. I remember my dad not renting a game for me because it was K-A. He saw the 'A', and just, "noped"! Lol
He was being cautious. Love that goofball.

Can I just say I appreciate the effort went into displaying the word "PORN" in giant letters on your big screen? You could've just made it fill the whole screen in the video but that somehow would've been less effective.
He probably didn't want UA-cam to demonetized/deleted off of UA-cam, so instead of showing the sexual acts of porn itself he put the word "PORN" in big bold letters.
Light Yagami He couldn't show real porn without the video being taken down and he meant displaying the word porn in the entire video frame instead of displaying it on his tv
