Why isn't this game Adults Only?
I understand for the Censored version, but in North America i do not understand why it is not rated that. Or is that rating as gone as "Kids to Adults"?

The fact is that most people in this thread just seem to be smack talking and trolling. Can we get a mod to lock this? Just a clear message. Steam, developers nor publishers have control over the ESRB rating that was given to the content in the game. Simple as that the ESRB saw the content and gave the content a rating. Same with the PEGI 18 rating it has. If anyone has an issue with the rating please bring it to the rating system not to steam.

Considering that the PEGI rating for the game is already marked at: R18, which means ages 18 and over... the game is already rated as adults only and kids would have to get their parents to purchase it for them... therefore it's up to the judgement of the parents to protect their kids or not from the facts of life. And this topic is merely asking for trolling...

In NZ it's classed as R16, because erm we are more mature. You can see the label on the steam store too.

However I wasn't actually fully trolling about South Park being mostly satire comedy, which can be done with the intent of shaming an individual or society into improvement and showing just how stupid it is to stereotype or merely follow some of the stupidity before us. Therefore kids could actually improve their generations from learning one or two things about it.

Don't know where you're from, but I'm willing to bet your country has douchebags just as bad, if not worse, than America. Right now I bet there's some total douche on the forums who makes uninformed, condescending remarks about an entire country he has never lived in, knowing only what he is told by the media, and then attributes anything negative he reads/hears about said country to the freedoms he doesn't have.

Your views are primitive. Hate us for our freedoms, blame us for your problems.

Merica!!

To be direct, this game isn't really meant for kids. Now if the child is allowed to play a game with certain subject matter, it is at their parents discretion. I do notice a lot of parents use games, or other forms of media to "babysit" their children, however, there is little that can be done about it, as again, it is up to the PARENTS to be responsible and determine what their children can, and cannot do.

Mature rating in the ESRB (which this game has) is 17+ an AO rating is 18+ and in some states 21+. As well an AO rating can under most practices not be sold in normal stores (ie only sex industry stores) So yes this game is still for adults. We have wierd age laws in the US. Just to clarify, you are old enough to join the army at 18, but not old enough to drink responsibly till 21. Go figure.

That's crazy...

New Zealand has no minimum legal drinking age, rather we have a minimum legal purchase age of 18. Supplying alcohol to minors is illegal, unless your their parent/guardian and it's in the restrictions of a safe home environment. Your child can therefore even drink alcohol with his mates in your home if you see it fit.

Therefore just like purchasing/renting R18 games or movies for their kids. It must be via the parent directly, who can then determine their own child's level of maturity and wheither it's suitable or not for them.

Is this bad or actually good? I will admit some 12 year old out there are way more mature and responsable than some 21s, but it does depend greatly on the individual. Having a control environment, I had a few drinks as a kid and learnt to respect it more. Later on at parties, I at least knew my limits and not to mix, while a first timer friend puked all over their girlfriend attempting to show off - then wanted to drink home over the limit just to clean up (we didn't let him)... With games, I learn reality from fiction, so games never affected me outside of simply having fun gaming. It's stupid blaming something else for your behaviour. Most have already seen porn, yet will say, yeah I know that's not the right way to treat a lady.

GTA 5 blamed for a child shooting his grandmother by mistake, after playing 5 minutes of it. What they don't tell you, is the gun was found by the kid, fully loaded, safety off, on the coffee table in the middle of the room... right in his reach and he was just playing with it like a toy. He never even got to the point of using a gun in the game. Unfortunity, it all comes down to parent's teaching their kids how to respect things, but they can't simply just blame the parent.. as that might scar them for the rest of their life believing it's their fault.

South Park blamed for 'National Kick a Ginger Kid Day', get over it. Rather than blaming their kids, they must have a perfect child and blame a scapegoat. Guess what, even if we didn't have the show, it would still occur via human nature. Go back to the dark ages. The issue is the parents didn't let them watch the entire show to see the end and see the full meaning behind it's satire comedy, which backfired on Cartman. It's ironicy the opposite of what those parents are attempting to label it and showing acceptance.

It's educational satire comedy... those who are affected by it are either racist or have deep personal issues themselves. It leads to people accepting differences and races equally, by making stereotypes to the extreme you can clearly tell that they are all but a joke, so sub-consisously you don't take it personally, rather learn to laugh at those doing it.

For a kid, this means when they go to school and see another fellow class mate getting picked on for being different (gay, ginger, or jew doesn't matter anymore), they stand up for that kid and simply laugh/mock the bully... then fart on him. They have previous made so many facebook friends and used twitter to warn them all, including joining forces with the goth kids that they mistook previous as emo before playing this game. The bully is singled out and turns out to just be a wimp. The kid is deemed a hero, gets a girlfriend, who he now knows due to the game to use protection before kissing. The school camera man then wants to take a photo of them both shirtless for the school paper... so he kicks him in the balls. He goes home, grounded, but sleep at peace, knowing that that loud banging noise coming from his parent's room isn't them fighting as he first believed before playing the game, but rather simply just ... little gnome people attempting to steal underwear and you should never disturb them.

All thanks to simply playing South Park.

It's what they should be teaching in skools, rather than simply to conform to authoritah.

Exactly. Well said.

The long and short of it is, it's all on the parents, and it is their responsibility, blaming media outlets and games, is nothing but a scapegoat to prevent themselves from being scrutinized. Just like when people blamed marilyn manson and doom for the columbine shooting. A rational adult would have asked:"Where were the parents in all this?"Keep in mind no one really asked, until much much later on. But America is a country ruled by fear generated by the mainstream media(major news networks anyone?) Usually satire and any sort of dig on cultural trends is lost on the general populace. All it takes is to see something inflammatory and pretty soon all you hear is:"OMG I AM SOOO OFFENDED BY THIS, WHY IS THIS ALLOWED RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!" And a lot of it is also based on the child's upbringing. I've been playing games my whole life, and I can tell the difference between reality and fiction. A lot of kids these days cannot make that differentiation, as the parents sit them down in front of the tv with their phones,tablets,etc, so that they can continue their existence, blissfully unaware and unwilling to give their children the attention they need, then try to act offended when their kid get bullied or is the bully. It's a certain logical fallacy where you get people who jump on the bandwagon in order to avoid the negative attention they themselves would draw otherwise.

The problem is basically the format. Because it's animated, a lot of people equate animation with 'for children' regardless of what the game box or the ESRB say, so things like this break their knowledge of the world and makes them feel uneasy. Their brain goes like ...
"It's animated, so it's for children..."
"But it has sexual stuff, so it's for adults..."
"but it's animated!"
"but it has sex!"
*head explodes*

Like i said in my post, most people lack the common sense to process anything that can be interpreted without requiring much thought. I do agree with you though. It's a bit of a societal hypocrisy I think. We live in such a PC world, where anything you do, or say can get you fired,sued, shamed, etc.

Go watch children cartoons and tv shows - even Pokemon and Spongebob all have sexual references and suggestive content.
