Outlast 2 was banned in Australia for implied sexual violence, until the government's board of classification overturned the ban for a modified version of the game. Not before Aussie senator David Leyonhjelm could make an impassioned, and pretty badass defence of video games.

And shout out to the Australian Liberal Democrats who made a thumbnail so badass we're not ashamed to admit we ripped it off ourselves.
