> I would like to see some video (not screencast, video) of your 12 year-old son playing some game with his mostly nude, thoroughly adult female character slavishly hacking on the corpses of other characters. Is that normal?

These two aren't even remotely related. Legislating morality is great for legislators, not for the citizens.

The point of the decision was aimed at "deviant violence". Combining sexuality with gratuitous violence is the most common form of deviance in the first-person shooters that I've seen.
