ESRB re-rating of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (T-H-L-K-D)

Why is this a "Featured Article" on an "encyclopedia?" Why? I can understand a paragraph or so on the main article, but a whole article unto itself? Seems too brief to be a FA anyway.

And why is a screen shot from the game needed? I can't fathom the Fair Use justification for it. It's almost like they added it saying "ZOMG! Wee needz pictorz forzee FEETARD ARBuckle!" and just slapped a game screen shot of a skinned corpse to "illustrate" the "controversy."

At least Bulbasaur (T-H-L-K-D) was a fairly interesting read when it was a FA back in the day.

Are there any other terrible Fancruft FA articles out there that resembles this? Why do they exist? Why haven't the Deletionists and the "We are trying to write a serious encyclopedia" crowd not raised its proverbial pitchforks and torches in anger and disgust?

Still being debated.....

Why does an "encyclopedia" need all this crap about video games?
Because it's just another video game......

Where were you when New Age Retro Hippie was frantically creating shit like this?

I suggested such a thing a while back, with a little hearse icon.

Now that we've been informed that the double lightning bolt insignia would probably cause hurt feelings.

That's the perfect choice for anything to do with crazy gamers. It was made by one of
their favorite crazy artists, Paul Robertson. This is supposed to be his "magnum opus".
