but because they cant do the same to sexual content, it is not acceptable. so evil is okay as long as the perpetrator gets punished. Plus there's the protections provided under our 1st Amendment. The ESRB isn't under the thumb of our government like Australia's ratings board is. Įdit: I can just imagine switching to Trevor and find him banging a hooker in his truck or at the club get a multi girl dance. can anyone find a chart of IV's from Australian's rating on GTA IV to compare the two? If anyone can find it they will get a. I can imagine walking around with Michael coming across his son smoking the pipe.Ĭould Australians rating be different than Americas, or is it all the same? Seems like the nudity is much higher than GTA IV's. Michael's son had a bong in one of the screenshots as well. Trevor also has a meth lab and can probably sell them too for extra money. I'm also thinking there might be drug deal missions like TBoGT had. Health regeneration only refills your health to 50%?

So it is still rationed out to titillate us and skirt the weird context that separates it from more prurient stuff. It is the last shocking media boundary left. The naked girl stigma is so deeply rooted in our psyche that, even with pervasive hardcore porn all over the internet, we are still fascinated by a story where casual nudity plays a part. But the whole time, no tits or asses were ever allowed. So we always got plenty of murder and mayhem (people doing bad things to other people). Ironically, you could always murder people in the movies, but the code dictated that justice must be served in the end. Generations of viewers grew up with this rigid structure completely assimilated it in our minds, and it still influences our expectations today. The code structure was so rigid that you could just see it in every movie you just knew the limits of what they could get away with. Realistically, back in the old prudish days of the mid 20th century in America (I don't know about other countries), there was the Motion Picture Production Code that completely and precisely defined and restricted every aspect of movie content (and something similar for TV, under the FCC). Why do we make a big deal about virtual nudity?īecause its much more shocking than virtual murder.
