| Message | Surely families shouldn't have to wait until they start playing a game to find that it's rampant with sexuality or violence or whatever Kanjorans wish to be warned about. We do not support this. |

| Message | Any intelligent parent would be able to tell which game is rampant with sexuality and violence before they buy it. Besides, children learn from experience. |
