What benefits are there to consumers? Here's one more way you can be denied access.
There has to be zero benefits for all adults, and tbh I don't see the big risk for minors in accessing entertainment that they're mature enough to intentionally seek out. Content descriptions and parents communicating with their kids should cover the vast majority of use cases.
All of it of course comes back to parents not actually wanting to parent. The rules are already in place. Literally all you have to do is not buy Timmy the game.
Not quite. The main groups who push this crap, IIRC, tend to be the same groups of far-right evangelicals who insist on homeschooling their children because "public schools are liberal indoctrination" and totally not because they're trying to isolate their child so it's easier to abuse them. ~Strawberry
