"Hooligan: a petition"

Goatboy's excellent thread on this game has got a lot of people thinking it seems. Maybe we should do something about it. Someone suggested it at the time, but why not ask Special Reserve not to sell it?

I don't believe in censorship, but I do believe in choice and that your choices say a lot about your character. We have a choice not to buy the game. Special Reserve have a choice not to sell and profit from it. So if you would rather SR didn't sell Hooligan then make your feelings known here.

(By the way, this isn't some anti-SR thing: great company, good value, nice forums. But we ALL need to take a stand against fascism, even as 'entertainment'.)

I'm against this censorship.

I suspect the game would be an 18 rated game... as someone who is over the age of 18 I expect the right do choose wether or not to buy the game myself.

Its okay, I dont need you to tell me what to think.

You may find pornography offensive, belittling and explotative to women, but I'm old enough to decide wether I want to buy it or not.

You may think violence in video games will unconciously validate violence in real life, but I'm old enough to decide if I want to play Doom or not... (We canalways let the readers of the Daily Mail decide whoch games are allowed to be sold?)

I dont need or want anyone to hold my hand and decide my opinion for me.

I agree.

Yes, without a doubt. Any shop selling this deserves to go bankrupt (it would be morally anyway!)

Yep, without a doubt

Oh Yes. Count me in.

*puts hand up*

Yes, and me.

I agree...

Good point, I'll add my name to that list.

I agree.
In a calm, polite manner reasonably asking a company if they perhaps would not sell a game that deals with race hate.
Not demanding, just asking nicely.

I agree wholeheartedly
