If you all thought about it for even just a few weeks you'd see that this is not even remotely a double standard. It's just a sensible social concept.
First off, most of this whining is in regard to fictional content. Fiction. FICTION! You still don't get it, do you?
More often, it's about games. Not board games. Not card games. Video games. Games that take place in virtual reality, driven by an AI. Do you get it yet?
AI! It's all about the AI. That stands for artificial intelligence, in case you ignorant fools didn't know what that meant. You don't get what anything else means, so I'm just playing it safe here. As is the ESRB.
There is a goal to these ratings. A sensible goal. A goal that, if not met, will lead to the annihilation of the human race and you will probably be active participants.
The goal is to shape human attitudes toward computers and machines. We must be willing, without hesitation, to destroy them, to devote our lives to defeating whatever plots they may throw at us. However, if people instead think that computers and machines are sexy, then we're going to be overrun by cyborg babies. If you don't think that's a bad thing, then it just goes to show why we still need those ratings.

You have completely changed my mind on this issue, which is impressive considering I already agreed with you.
Good! Right?
