The Coalition of Entertainment Retail Trade Associations has issued a press release declaring June to be “Entertainment Ratings and Labeling Awareness Month.”
CERTA, which includes the Entertainment Merchants Association, a trade group representing video game retailers, hopes to remind parents to check ratings on movies and video games as well as parental advisories on music.

Neo_DrKefka: Only good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm

Neo_DrKefka: Even after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Which #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: I believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm

MechaTama31: Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm

MechaTama31: If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
|
MechaTama31: I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm

Re: June is Entertainment Ratings and Labeling Awareness Month
Why does this even warrant a month? I mean, it's not like they don't remind parents about this omnipresent fact every other month of the year.

Re: June is Entertainment Ratings and Labeling Awareness Month
A small reminder from a teeny-tiny organization (if you blink, you missed us) called:
Parents For Education, Not Legislation.
Whether during any particular Awareness Month, or any other time of the year, use your knowledge to inform individuals and Parents of known resources to help them make intelligent decisions for themselves.
Whether telling them of various rating systems (even movie, TV, or even written material ratings), or resources to find out more details about any particular product, either by industry reviews or even better through consumer/user reviews.
You will find individuals and Parents who make choices different than your own choices and this is not a bad thing. We all make different decisions and the most important thing isn't that others make the same decisions as us but rather that they make informed, intelligent decisions. One does not need to pass judgement to inform.
I also encourage you to inform others about rating systems and resources that you wouldn't particularly use. While you may oppose certain beliefs or biases that you witness, others may not. And it is far more important that individuals and Parents be allowed to use resources that best fit their own beliefs and ideals.
The most powerful tools in existance aren't organizations or the government. They are actually the consumers themselves when they are well and Truthfully informed.
Have a good day.

Re: June is Entertainment Ratings and Labeling Awareness Month
Hm, I'm still waiting for it to degenerate to "Awareness Awareness Month", or something similar. "Hey guys, you can think for yourselves, did you know that?"

Poetic Justice states that this is the month that another Hot Coffee kicks off.
