Target Australia has pulled R-rated video game Grand Theft Auto V from its shelves and says it will no longer sell it following feedback from customers about the game’s depictions of violence against women. The decision to pull the game — which sparked an immediate backlash from gamers — appeared to be in response to a Change.org petition launched on Saturday by three women who said they were survivors of violence.

At last!! Some common sense. Let’s hope this is the beginning & the long term affect that harms the developing young brains research findings are considered & decision makers develop intestinal fortitude when approving games. Tragically many parents are NOT listening. When do we collectively risk the ire of political correctness & collectively insist This is NOT OK!
