[QUOTE="boschdevil, post: 833136, member: 10221"] [b]Really don't prefer either side.[/b] This subject at times make me feel like I'm in a situation when I'm in the Eastern front during World War II and trying to decide whether it is a better idea to fight for the bloodthirsty leader Hitler or the bloodthirsty leader Stalin. Both sides have characteristics that make me cringe whenever I think of them. For the anti-BVD group arguments, sometimes I feel like I'm listening to the minister in "Footloose" explaining to me that dancing is bad and unholy and that all it will do is bring down all of society. While we're at it, let us get all of our controversial books together and have a weenie roast while we burn the books. For the pro-BVD group, I find it somewhat interesting that the title that they want to give the BVD material is "mature." Personally, when I heard that the were going to do a book like this, the first idea that flashed in my head was people I knew in my 9th grade math class that loved to draw illustrations of people who were getting their heads sheared off of their bodies. After saying this, if I really was forced to take a side in tis argument, I would say that I'd probably still lean anti-BVD. My main reasoning for this is that I want to give the game a mainstream appeal so young players wouldn't have to hide their books from their parents for fear that they would be banned from such activities. I only say this because as an older gamer now, it is really easy for me to say that my parents would have been cool about the BVD content. However, beinghonest with myself, I think that my mother would have experienced some reservations about the game if there was a book available names "Book of Vile Darkness" and the subject matter therein. I really have to tip my hat to the young gamers and parents navigating around all the things I never had to transverse when I was gaming at a young age. [/QUOTE]
