Remember when it felt like you were on the other side of the decency curtain?

All the news reports and furore around whether a game was 'damning our children' just washed over you like a calm breeze, especially when you were otherwise enamoured with ripping the brains out of something in God of War.

Now though, you're old enough to recognise which world problems need addressing, how cynical and cyclical the media is and just where these reactionary reports were coming from.
