Just a reminder of how touchy Australia is. Given the reasoning on some of these titles, I'm honestly surprised it was just the violence against women that got GTA banned since other elements that make the game M rated was what banned the others.
I do wish parents were more educated on the ESRB rating system, though. It would help a lot. I know whenever I wanted a game I was too young for my mom made me show her why it got that rating and explain the context that its in. She didn't have much of an issue with me playing Teen games since I was 13 when I was interested in them. M titles were a lot touchier.
