Either you're making a joke about immaturity, or you're postulating I'm not actually old enough. If it's the latter, you are false.
Umm when he shot the guy there was blood. That bumps it to R usually

Nah, a puff of blood is usually fine.
The rating system is fine, the thing that annoys me is when the MPAA / BBFC censors films and dictates what I should and should not see - this is when I take my money elsewhere.
Getting uncut versions of human centipede was a chore.

Sometimes, but not always. The MPAA can be very inconsistent. And the blood is very faint, it's not there for very long.
The MPAA is a horrid group.
They're a secret society(literally, the identities of all members are protected) they're usally hired through pure nepotism, they're against gay and homosexual films and scenes that bring those topics up in thoughtful ways, when they deny someone a rating for a film, or give them an NC-17 instead of a rating, they've essentially just censored a creative from getting their films in theatres.
Is it less of an issue now, with the internet? Yes, but not such a small issue to be ignored.
The MPAA is a group of dinosaurs determining our cultural exports and our own cultural view which as far as I'm concerned, is enough reason to hate the MPAA.

Well, many times the rating system is responsible for censorship. For example, The Wolf of Wall Street had to be cut in order to achieve an R rating rather than NC-17. If it were given an NC-17 rating it would not have been shown in most cinemas (usually only art cinemas show NC-17 movies and only if they are considered 'artsy' such as Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac)

Cinemas can show NC-17 films, but most films never go for NC-17 as they are unable to advertise it on most above-the-line advertising platforms - thus restricting the audience as well as the advertisement.

That's basically what I meant. Cinemas have the freedom to show whatever they want, but usually they choose not to show NC-17 films.

The MPAA is pretty much completely against smaller studios as well.
For example, Army of Darkness originally got an NC-17. What did it have? Barely any gore at all, one usage of the word "fuck", no nudity (other than sideboob and cleavage), and blood.
The MPAA is incredibly biased and corrupt. We either need to clean it up, or remove it entirely, considering how most parents nowadays don't even listen to ratings.

The same could be said of the ESRB. Only the larger companies use the ESRB anymore, anyway.

MPAA is pretty retarded. Fury, with some of the scenes that were in it would warrant it an NC17 if it didn't come from Sony entertainment.

Thinking back, not really. Aside from the swearing, the violence is pretty tame compared to some of the stuff we see on television nowadays. Plus there's no nudity or sex.

That's exactly the point I'm making.
also [sp]hanging, dead kids[/sp] is kinda bad too.
It's not bad if they were gay. Then it's just doing the lord's work.

Doesn't the ESRB require paying them to rate your game in the first place? Something that's probably not too easy for indie developers who don't really have big budgets.

I've noticed that a lot of indie games on Steam don't have an ESRB rating
Reminds me of This Film is Not Yet Rated. It used to be on netflix, I dont know if it still is, but its worth checking out

Ratings control how many viewers you're going to get, and how much money you're going to receive. People try to "fix" their movies to reach more people at a lower rating.
