AO rated games should be destigmatized.
"Most AO rated games (not all, but most) are pornographic in content. Most people don't wanna sell porn" - But selling ultra violent games like Mortal Kombat 11 is somehow better?? Not only that but games like MK11 get an M rating instead of an AO rating, even thought you can also get an AO rating for violence. Ao rating for violence makes even less sense because only 3 games so far have ever been rated AO because of violent content, one of which was never officially released. If anything, the fact that people think that AO rated games = porn is another reason why the AO rating should destigmatized. Games with an AO rating can contain other subjects and genres.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying that games like MK11 or Doom Eternal should be censored. I'm just saying that the gaming industry and retailers should stop treating the AO rating with such an stigma. To stop treating like the "kiss of death".
Anyway, I'm just gonna leave this video here while we are at it.
