Opinions on upcoming censorship/ban of violence and sexual content in video games?

[Tacitus Killgore]

I don't care about political ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but one thing that genuinely does worry me is trump's goal to censor or ban games. I'm just wondering what are your opinions on this?

But they're right. There are exceptions to the First Amendment, in the interest of public safety. The common example is you can't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater when there's no fire.
Also, to respond to your quoted post with the quote, while the United States does have a video game rating system, it's not like Germany or Australia where the government is responsible for the rating system, it's self-regulation by the video game industry itself in response to the government's witch hunt when Mortal Kombat released.

I'm pretty sure there's no law against' yelling "fire!" in a crowded movie theater.

What would get you in trouble is inciting a panic or disorderly conduct if they can prove you shouted to just cause a scene.

We've really got to be careful with these kinds of applications because they can be used to imprison political dissidents or those who high society generally dislikes.

On the other hand, our government uses false alarms all the time, to get the public to act in certain ways.

I'll have to think on this one. Can't trust a judge these days...

They already have.

The people who ban mods are the left.

No they haven't. I've never heard of this Barron Trump before, so I don't trust him.

The ones with censoring/banning video games entirely in their agenda are the religious extremist right. Who gives a ♥♥♥♥ about mods if there's nothing to even mod anymore.

This is an analogy from a case about anti-war activists promoting opposition to the draft during World War I. It hasn't been good law for at least 50 years.

This.

I can't believe how many people think it's just illegal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater (it's not) when it's the causing of panic when no reason to panic that is against the law. You can do/say all sorts of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, no one cares. It's only when it causes a disturbance that it actually matters.

Actually incorrect. You can in fact go to a theatre and yell fire, the word itself isn't illegal. What you can't do is try to convince people there is a present danger to their lives and knowingly start an uncontrolled stampede. That can be through yelling fire in an indicative way alongside the use of gestures and the like to indicate direction and location. That's how specific incitement is, you need material not just saying words.

You are right about the ESRB though and thats how it should be. An information board which does nothing but help inform the customer of his choices and have no involvement in legality of any kind.

Edit: Dammit two people beat me to saying this, now I look stupid

Legal Eagle did a whole lecture on that. Though as unchallenged naked lies led to the present situation, I'm sure he's rethinking his Georgetown Adjunct Professor curriculum for the near future.

I remember it constantly being used as an example in school whenever the First Amendment was the subject. 😅
