Out of curiosity - what do you guys think of old TV programs that are preceded by

"Warning: Viewer Discretion is Advised. Content intended for Mature Audiences"

was this the start of snowflake-ism?

Network codes exist for a number of reasons, and none of them have to do with what is considered 'snowflake-ism' or 'trigger warnings' now.


The way people on my Facebook have used trigger warnings tend to be more similar to Viewer Discretion is Advised than anything that the Internet seems to portray them as. No silencing of dissent, no authoritarianism over free speech. Just people who preface their posts with "cw: rape" as a courtesy to their fellows.

I do not know if that is typical behavior or not :P

Old? I see that all the time also says something about violent images too i think. Watch UFC fight pass for example

Anyway no Snowflake is caused by not letting people fail goes way back to FDR at least. It never works and end game is Venezuela dysotopia. Free shit/free ride makes ppl weak because adversity makes you stronger why do you think immigrants are so tough? They didnt have welfare or other stopgaps to become lazy special snowflakes.

Funny, its usually the right wing christians who would want this. Dragon ball had Gokus dick out. Yep, in germany no one cared, i bet in murica it was censored. They always do that. James in pokemon had tits, in the censored version he does. So dont try to blame it on "the left" or "the liberals".

This actually kinda relates to the conversation we were having over PM, honestly. Even though my Facebook feed is mostly liberal, there is one guy or two that posts conservative memes making fun of liberals, and it has led me to believe that nowadays, when people try to examine/evaluate viewpoints other than their own, they tend to find the most extreme and absurd examples of that "side" and use those examples as representative of the entire "side." Based on my own experience, that's what has happened with, say, the term Social Justice Warrior. No one denies the extremists exist, we always just hope people recognize the extremists as extremists.

The more and more ubiquity of university-students-as-overly-fragile memes across entertainment and media, though, the more I'm starting suspect my university just happens to be uncharacteristically sane, an unusual, rare island of rationality where trigger warnings, intersectionality, and microagressions are used as moderating tools to help facilitate more discussion, not less. That we are the exception in being reasonable, not the rule.

I dunno, man. Internet's a weird place.

WTF Germany have laws for video games replacing blood to other color crap or even banning games.

I don t think you can compare German censorship to the US one.

The big question is whether many German players would even want to replace it. As you can see in the accompanying videos, the censored German version wasn't without its idiosyncratic charms. Bulky green robots with HAL-like eyes stood in for the soldiers familiar from the uncensored release and dead aliens spilled no blood. (If they bled anything, it was screws.) Most amusing of all, security guards and the scientists at Black Mesa wouldn't die if you shot them; instead, they'd cower on the floor and shake their heads. Now, finally, Germans will be able to shoot them dead if they want.


*edit*

It seems like in Germany you can t show Indianajones and the fate of atlantis pictures HAHAHAHAHA. Poor lucas art

GG GGG you are at the same level than Germany :/

Germany has a problem with nazi symbolism. Bad example. Some games are deemed too violent like Postal 2. No problem tho, i got mine on GOG.

Every games with blood are censored in Germany, not only extremes ones.

I understand the Problem with Nazism in Germany but those are already games supposed to be played by adults. YOu could argue Merica got similar problem with nudity, in both cases I find the censorship terrible.


BTW GGG really look terrible in my book censoring those old videogame pictures too. For fuck sake your game is supposed to be played by late teens/adiults not childs and there is plenty references to genocide + rape (brutus) in your game.
