NZ bans movies, games & porn?

[superman]

I'm appalled that living in a country like NZ a governing body can decide what different media platforms may release for sale in the country. Sure stick an R18 label on it, or even R21 if you feel so inclined. But to say the material is too questionable for any person in the population and that even the adults don't get a choice in the matter is fucked up. Bloody bureaucrats sitting around on their arses, "oh no, no one in the country needs to view such heinous material we'll create criminals". What a bunch of hootnanny, if you're an adult you should be able to view/play whatever takes your fancy that has been created.

I thought we lived in a free country. WTF!

If you'll excuse me I'll be off to play a banned game Manhunt. Mmmm plastic bag around his head and hold.... hold.... hold....

Where did you get that idea? Free country? allowed to watch what you like? No F'king way! Believe it or not it is freer than it used to be but last night's piracy bill was a step in the wrong direction.

What if the Japanese made a hentai sex game where you could conduct bestiality acts on minors... do you think that is something New Zealanders should be able to view/play?

I could not give a shit that modern musicians lose money, they are untalented dickheads who create music with the aim of making money not for creating something of artistic brilliance.

If someone truly creates something good, music/movie etc then people who are truly passionate about said artistic creation will buy it, pay to watch it. If a new album comes out from someone who's really good (happens very rarely... quite often I'm trawling through 70s/80s sections) I'll pay for it. Why do I want a shitty computerised compressed version of a good song when I can hear it in a pure audio format from a CD. However most people can't seem to tell the difference, and listen to music purely because it's marketed to them. Just like shitty blockbuster pop-outs with the aim of revenue.

I agree with you in the main, but of course there is some stuff out there, that I would imagine most of society would agree should be stamped out. I know it's an extreme example, but I'm sure most paedophiles would also love to access whatever took their fancy. And of course, there are other examples as well.

You should check out Germany's censorship. But yeah I get what you mean, this is NZ.

So you'd be ploughing pixelated horses into pixelated children? LOL. Quite frankly I don't see the market for such a game. But if people wish to pay for something such as that, why the hell not? Does it brood paedophiles/beastiality? No.

Talking about fake creations, not filmed rape, or illegal real content. Fake movie/game creations.

Hell yea, that would be awesome!

Does it breed paedophiles/beastiality? No.

How do you know that?

Double standards much?

Sure you may get people who already commit acts of paedophilia/beastiality who buy the game, but they are already that type of person. The game wouldn't turn them into that person now would it?! That's just a ridiculous statement.

If you put an R18 rating on that I highly doubt an 18+ year old is all of a sudden going to think that beastiality or child rape is ok because of a game. Do you think that if you played a game like that you would all of a sudden become a paedophile? That is just insulting to the intellect of adults.

Why isn't then games such as GTA banned?! It's ok to kill hookers with double ended dildos for their money virtually? People over 18 can handle that but not putting plastic bags over peoples heads... that's fucked up. Double ended standard more like.

[superman]

Double standards much?

How does something fake compare to something real in anyway?!

You think that if I think it's ok for people to play hentai rape games that I think it would be ok for people to watch real rape?! WTF. Surely you jest? That surely can't be a serious statement.

For one government bodies don't decide whether watching real rape, or real child pornography is ok or not to let it in the country. It is just against the law, no matter what. The only reason anyone can look at it legally is through a court system when it is used as evidence. Fake role playing creations no matter how vulgar/offensive they may be, are creations. And it is stupid to ban them from a country as though adults can't differentiate fake from real.
