The differences between films & video games and how they are perceived is massive. But why? Who makes these rules? Why is it ok for films (and the music industry) to have sexual content all over the place but when video games have the exact same thing it's offensive? Through a case study of Ride Along & its sequel Ride Along 2 we will explore this hypocrisy and insert another nail in the coffin of terrible video game journalism which seeks to censor video games.
