Should Manhunt 2 be banned?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Ban it? No.

But the question here lies in why the games are popular (I'm still not convinced it is because of the natural violence innate in Males - we are talking about video games here.) ; banning is a just a form of fetishizing the product in a way.

EDIT: Very important edit, added in the bit in bold. (Damn typos.)

I know a girl (a scene girl, but still) who likes video games and loved the original Manhunt, so it's clearly not a male thing. She's also a big fan of movies like Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes despite being a straightedge jmfcst-esque Christian (
Actually I shouldn't say jmfcst-esque, she's not a homophobic bigot with that temple fetish. But she does buy into that Rapture/End Times stuff and believes it's coming soon.) Anyway, strange types you meet.

One thing: note the correction in my original post. Actually I pretty much think the reason for the appeal of violent video games has nothing to do with that really.

And I know quite a couple of people like quite the girl really. (Well except Straightedge and Jmfcst-esque. I have never heard of anyone who was actually straightedge; it is mainly used as the butt of jokes.)

You know scene girls?

Define "scene". No matter how much times you have used it, I still don't know what it is.

I do know (vaguely mostly) many bohemian types though.

It was kind of like the personality you were described. Opebo could still be opebo without being a sex tourist; he wouldn't do the same things but would still be the same person with the same personality.

Of course I might be imagining this girl completely wrong. It is the Internets after all.

Ah now. I can't say I know anyone that description. Though apparently vinyl is coming back to fashion again.. (though probably unrelated.)

I can't think of anything either. Though the term "indie rock" is very broad.

Until about four months ago I would have said no. But apparently they do; though this is something I have only HEARD about. It is mainly related to certain marginal Dublin scenes (probably not in the "scene" sense.)

Though yes an Irish straightedge person is a very strange thing indeed..
