Slings And Arrows (AKA Grand Theft Minor)
Maybe I can say, “Okay, enjoying simulated murder is wrong. Grand Theft Auto is okay because the simulation is so poor nobody would confuse it for the real thing. And besides, Grand Theft Auto is a really brilliant game; it’s not just about gratuitous violence.” But that opens us up to the slippery slope - I’m drawing the line on one side of GTA but now you have to ask - “What about God of War? What about Manhunt? What about the future when the violence is going to be even more realistic?” And if we’re drawing lines, nothing stops my friend from drawing the line on the other side of GTA
