Following a moral panic surrounding comic books brought about by Frederic Wertham's book known as "Seduction Of The Innocent", the Comic Book industry set up the Comics Code Authority in 1954. Rules included:
Villains not being allowed to be sympathetic, look even remotely attractive, hurt anyone, or even be considered remotely "cool".
No blood or gore of any kind.
Profanity being forbidden, even words such as "damn" or "hell".
Law enforcement being required to be good guys 100% of the time, with no corruption being shown at all.
There was a similar type of moral panic surrounding video games back in the 1990s and early 2000s, so my question is, how would video gaming be changed had a video game version of the Comics Code been established in place of the ESRB rating system?
