Should the ESRB change it's grading system

Welcome to the site!I'd like to thank my opponent for instigating this fun debate topic.Like my opponent, I am also a long time avid gamer.The BoP is on my opponent to show that there needs to be a new rating system, furthermore he should offer a system to replace the current one because a complaint without alternative is useless.I shall argue two main points:1. The current is pretty good.2. Changing the system would be useless.1. The T and M rating are the ratings in question, so I shall only address them. What constitues an M rated game:M: "Content is generally suitable for ages 17 and up. May contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language."Bayonetta absolutely falls into this category. God Of War may be worse but it still falls into this categoty.T: May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language. The rating system works, it consistently provides appopriately rated games. I can say this confidently because my opponent and most gamers agree that it does. There is only the occasional game that might be misrated. My opponent has a problem with Bayonetta and God Of War. He can have one of two contentions:1. Bayonetta should be less than an M-rated game.2. God Of War deserves more than M-rating(an AO).On contention 1.Bayonetta has intense violence. The whole game is fighting and it's pretty intense.Upon defeating an enemy, they burst into blood. Is that not gore?! If you look at Bayonetta, she is sexuality personified. Busty, combat master, you can't not want to get her in bed.Strong language is also prevalent.Bayonetta is rated M for the following: "This is an action game in which players assume the role of an ancient witch who battles angels and demons while uncovering the mystery of her past. Players use hand-to-hand combat, magic attacks, and pistols to kill enemy creatures that often spray blood when hit. Players can also perform an assortment of over-the-top finishing moves – referred to in the game as 'torture attacks' – on the creatures: impalement with an iron maiden; decapitation with a guillotine; dismemberment with a chainsaw; and summoning a demon that bites, then rips characters apart. During the course of the game, some female characters perform suggestive taunts and poses, including opening their legs or gyrating their hips. Some of the more provocative outfits are shed during battle, resulting in brief depictions of buttocks and breasts. The camera occasionally pans close-up on breasts as they are jiggling. Strong profanity (e.g., 'f*ck,' sh*t,' and 'a*shole') can be heard throughout the dialogue."I'd say this constitutes an M rated game.If he feels the game deserves less than and M, he should have to further elaborate.2. I guess an argument could be made to make God Of War AO. Pro has not made this argument, but even if he did, it would not even matter.Criteria for AO: Content suitable only for adults ages 18 and up. May include prolonged scenes of intense violence, graphic sexual content and/or gambling with real currency.Many M-rated games could qualify for AO but who cares.M-rated games are for 17 year olds.AO's are for 18 year olds.What's the real difference between an 17 year old and 18 year old, especially in regards to the ability to handle content. Contention 2 leads no were.2. Not much would change if there was a change.Point two is based off the fact that almost NO ONE strictly follows the ESRB.By the time most gamers are 15 or even younger they are allowed to play M-rated games.When gamers are 10 or 11 they can play teen games.Where would this new rating X be? T<X<M<AOTeen constitues 13-17(in the realm of ratings).Having a new rating between T-M would be useless.X would probably be 14-16. However 15-16 year olds already play M rated games, so it would really only be for 14 year olds.(A good amount of 14 year olds play M rated games too.) Having a new rating T-M is really just like having a second AO rating. It doesn't really matter.In your next roud could you explain why you want this new rating?
