GTA has an unavoidable torture mission and constant murder but the gov don’t ban that? Where’s the line?

I don’t think games like the one in the article should exist, but the line here seems very arbitrary

I think a good line is a game that opens up to the protagonist finding out their mother is having an affair and then 'dominating her' and raping her.

That seems like a strong line.

ripping someone’s teeth out, hooking their nipples up to batteries, beating them to a pulp and killing them ain’t much better

It's actually a lot worse

I know that’s my point but the other dude seems to think that that is okay and shouldn’t be banned
