Let's go a bit further: "Everyone can talk about politics, some might go overboard and start planting bombs because society didn't get them integrated/capitalism destroyed their poor country's economy/their parents didn't educate them properly, but others can handle just fine". Should we censor freedom of speech just to avoid people planting bombs? You can't just apply the same rules on a different scale, because scale
does matter. Have you ever watched a movie where people guts were ripped off, limbs pieced or exploded, heads were rip open...? There are movies that are far more realistic and violent right now than any videogame for next gen systems, or even i'll dare say some more generations. Do we censor them? No, we label them "18+", "Rated R", or whatever the system in your country is, and let the public decide. Parents won't take their kids to one of those movies, the same can be done with videogames. A 13 years old kid can't just pay 60+ ¬/$ for a videogame just by himself, someone has to give him the money... So in the end, it's parent's right AND duty to educate their kids, not videogame maker's. At least, that's how i see it.
