Article About Violent Video Games In Japan

In response to the alarming, gradual increase in serious teen violence occuring in Japan, like in America, attention is being focused on the Japanese video game industry, particularly for its lack of a ratings system or any system of parental advisory. USA Today has published an article on the subject titled, “Japan Struggles with Violent Games – Lack of Ratings Frustrates Some Creators.” [Insightful readers may also notice in the article that, as is typical in articles written for mass public readership, anime and manga is stereotyped with the single line, “Besides children’s cartoons, Japan has mature animé cartoons that include graphic depictions of sex and violence.”]
