PSN to SEN: Time to rage quit? - DarkFeed

Porn advocate group, Eros, and the Australian Christian Lobby group have united in a stand against proposed creation of an R 18+ rating for Australian games. They say that while real sex has been bypassing guidelines into films through loopholes, such happenings for games could have a devastating effect. The interaction that games provide to gamers is the cause for this stir.
IN a rare partnership, a Christian lobby group and pornography advocates have joined forces to criticise a plan to have public consultation on introducing R18+ video games.
Meeting in Adelaide today, the nation's attorneys-general agreed to ask the public whether an R18+ category for video games should be introduced.
Games which exceed the top MA15+ category cannot be sold in Australia.
If an R18+ class was introduced it would allow adults to play video games involving graphic violence.
The call for public consultation was immediately criticised by both the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) and the Eros Foundation – a pornography lobby group.
"Given what happens with R-rated films, we could have no confidence that the classification guidelines would be properly applied," ACL managing director Jim Wallace said in a statement.
"For example, due to loopholes in the guidelines, real sex is sometimes being shown in R-rated films.
"What will happen if we have R18+ games, which have even greater impact because of their interactive nature," he asked.
