"If you restrict sales of video games, you’re chipping away at our First Amendment rights to free speech...take a stand and defend both the First Amendment and the rights of computer and video game artists.”
Malarky. Stan might be good at creating super heroes, but he should leave the interpretation of the bill of rights to people who understand it.
There is nothing that says "free speech" can't be limited. Just yell, "Fire" in a crowded theater and see what happens.
There is nothing that says you can't restrict access of children to certain materials. Have a 15 y/o try to buy beer and see what happens.
No "computer and video game artists" are having their work "censored" in any way, shape or form. That's like saying that pornography is "censored" because it can't be sold to kids. Obviously, it's restricted, but the vision of the artist isn't changed. If an artist wants to reach a larger audience in order to make more money, then they may change their work so that it can be so- but the driving force of that censorship is their own greed.
Again, this is simply outrage for the sake of outrage. People are complaining that they can't sell violent images to children, period. I could care less about their "plight."
