I know this is a few days old, but what's the deal? Granted, I don't know much else about this Yee character, but I know that s/he is a Democrat.
So what's the deal? It seems that every time I hear something negative being said in regards to a videogame, it's coming from a Democrat.
Joe Lieberman (who seems more of a Republican in sheeps clothing than a Democrat) has been vocally against videogames in the past.
Al/Tipper Gore spearheaded the Parental Advisory situation with music, and I'm pretty sure have spoken out against games in the past.
What am I missing? I would think that censorship would be more of a Republican ideal (with all of the religious/moral ties), yet all of this crap is coming from my Home team, and that just makes me confused. The Republicans are the ones that are actively persuing the issue of flag burning, and I would equate that on the same level as banning (or making inaccessable) violent videogames.
Am I confusing "Democrat" with "Liberal"? Are these actions those of particular people, and not necessarily influenced by a party ideal?
Anyone have any insight?
