Watch the video.... I would like your views on the subject....

Sessler is correct, and it seems like a pretty straight-forward issue, to me.

Whether we're considering video games, anime, feature films, music, literature, magazines, etc., there are some forms of entertainment and art intended only for adults. Generally speaking, the fact that some adults enjoy these things hurts neither society as a whole, nor children, specifically. Logical exceptions would include snuff films, films or photos of actual minors in adult situations, etc., but such media depicting actual crimes are not within the scope of this issue, as I understand it.

With the exceptions of literature* and magazines, most of these forms of entertainment have voluntary ratings systems, and I agree with Sessler that there's no "f-ing mystery" about them. Parents have the tools necessary to do their jobs. Sessler's rant is justified, as far as I'm concerned.

*Using "literature" in a broad sense, manga/manhwa/manhua do have rating systems, similar to anime, but I don't know whether other types of comics have ratings. I've never seen ratings on novels, short stories, plays, or poetry, but I wonder whether Jack Thompson would've sued Geoffrey Chaucer over The Canterbury Tales?
