It's my understanding that this law has nothing to do with the ESRB, and everything to do with violence. So that if I was 17, and I was interested in buying a game about abusing women and animals by rolling them up into giant balls and throwing them into the vaccuum of space, thus killing them, I would need to have my parents to be there, even though the game is rated E. I'm talking about Katamari Damacy.
They don't actually specify whose rating, or whose definition of violence or unacceptable acts they are following. Alot of the people campaigning against videogames are saying the ESRB isn't doing their job.
When I was 16, there was an N64 game that encouraged me to beat up animals, women, and children, and was rated E for everyone by the ESRB. I'm talking about Super Smash Brothers. The level of violence in a game depends on who is analyzing the content, and in what way they choose to analyze it.
One argument that is often made is that "in Grand Theft Auto, you need to rape women to win".
Merriam Webster defines rape as: to seize or take away by force.
So when I carjack a woman in the game, is this not rape?
