@nessisonett The ESRB rating is a valid point, I'm not sure how they would handle that. I've heard of games having a special disclaimer you have to agree to, before seeing user created content that clearly explains that it is just that, user created content, not content evaluated by the game developers. Just having such a disclaimer might push the ESRB to change the rating as well, I don't know their policy.

But I hold to my position that it would be better to have a NSFW tag. If kids are using a different account to get around parental controls, that's on the parents, not Nintendo (or any content company).

If the reasoning is that you cannot have user created content behind a disclaimer without an M or AO rating - that seems absurd - but I could understand Nintendo intervening because it would cost them a lot of money. I don't think it would be fair or just for the ESRB (or another country's rating board) to label a game like that for that reason, but Nintendo cannot control that, and my complaint would shift from Nintendo to the rating board.

I strongly believe that governments and corporations should not be enforcing morals. That we should be allowed to make out own decisions on what content we see and what actions we do, so long as those actions don't take that freedom from others. Or in the case of children, that responsibility falls on the parents, not the teachers, not the coaches, certainly not governments or corporations.

In defense of companies too, I don't think it is reasonable to ask companies to police the user created content within games with literally millions of users around the world that can lead to potentially tens of millions of pieces of user created content. And asking them to do that is how we get spying programs, or terrible auto filter programs. Just look at what happened with Tumblr, when they decided to say "eff you" to millions of their users and ban adult content, they put in place an auto-filter program that flagged and deleted countless posts and blogs that didn't even actually violate any rules... Or you have stuff like what happens with Facebook, where their algorithms collect countless amounts of data, get hacked, and get leaked all over the world... (or just sold by the company to the highest bigger...)
