Hi tom.
Well in terms of the views of religious fundamentalists, I do know tv
stations such as scifi have started announcing programs that contain magic.
To me this seems insane, and indeed most christians I encounter in Britain
wouldn't hold such a view (I think the christians in Americ on average are
far more extreme than what we see over hear), as compared to showing a child
torture or s/xually explicite stuff, but again, simply a warning would do on
this front.
After all, if people don't want to watch something, they are quite free not
to so long as they know what it contains first.
As you said yourself the majority of this is fairly common sense, for
instance if one of these magic hating loony christians saw sarah or even
Aprone's game daytona they would obviously know it contained magic elements
and could choose not to play if they so desired.
what bothers me with such people is they try and inflict their views on
everybody else!
I am not personally comfortable with explicite adult material, and have
therefore never played any of jim's adult games or text adventures like
leather goddesses, but it would be totally wrong of me based pon that
discomfort to remove such games from the audiogames.net db, or reffuse to
create entries for them, though i do! make sure they are all of the
appropriately adult genre so that anyone who downloads them knows what they
are before hand and has an informed choice, indeed this is very mch the sort
of system i'd advise, giving information without restriction and letting
people make their own choice, or letting parents make the choice for kids
who aren't responsable to.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
