If a teenage kid (yes, 13+) is changed or influenced by violence or sex in videogames then I honestly believe they have issues. I'll be 22 this year. I've been into videogames since my early childhood. My parents let me play violent videogames when I was 10+ (to my surprise). I've grown up to be perfectly fine. I do not think downward upon women. I do not think violence is the answer to anything. The only feeling I'm left with is wondering what kind of fucked up teenager would let a videogame get to him. There's way worse problems with the kid than videogames if he is influenced negatively by them.
I think it's bullshit that Rockstar and Take Two are getting slapped with the AO now. Why? Because the content was not intended for use by gamers, period. A third party mod unlocked content on the CD that was NOT supposed to be in the game. It's just code that was left locked because it would probably take more time and money to remove it. I'd be having words about legal issues if I were Rockstar or Take Two...they're being fucked over here. That's like adding C4 to a vehicle and blowing up a building with it...and blaming it on the vehicle manufacturer because all of the wiring in the car allowed the bomb to be built. Ridiculous.
