Saw this earlier. The bigger deal is Sony's response, IMO, since it's something they allowed on their platform but won't allow to be shared...on their platform? Their inconsistency in enforcing those rules isn't surprising, but is certainly stupid.
@diz: Thank you for being considerate to others. Most of my friends who smoke are similarly considerate, and I'm glad to see more people share that self-awareness. Addiction is no joke, so empathy for people who do and don't is needed.
I mean...it's only a problem if you think it's a problem, right? There's no committee out there mandating that you have to watch All The Things That Are Good(tm), and you'll be penalized if you don't watch something because it makes you uncomfortable.
Live-action violence and animated violence are very different things - in tone, in presentation, and technology. Sometimes there can be some crossover, especially with live-action stuff that leans heavily on CG, but I'm not that surprised that one of those bothers you while the other doesn't. I say don't force yourself to engage with something you don't like, because there's hardly any payoff that's worth it.
I am curious if you have this problem with violent games, though? Those might be different because they're interactive, but what about violent cutscenes?
Wow! Incredible work, and that dude seems awesome! His honest humility and good-natured self-deprecation really shines through. It's an honor to be a part of the same community.
