><span class="bdaia-io bdaia-io-telegram"></span></a> </li> </ul> </div>  <div class="bdaia-post-content"> <p>Quick lesson: The FPB AKA the Films and Publication Board in South Africa is responsible for handing out age restrictions on media that is locally consumed. The organisation is the equivalent of PEGI in Europe or the ESRB in America, but with an added god complex and a lust for more power.</p> <p>When I was a young boy… side track, this is a great song.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade [Official Music Video] [HD]" width="850" height="638" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RRKJiM9Njr8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p>As I was saying, when I was young I remember the movies and games that came out had simple age restrictions. V meant violent content, S implied sexual content, and L was for language of a salty and cursed nature. </p> <p>Then at some point in life they added the very exciting (for a young boy) N for Nudity classification. So if we could find an 18SN movie, our teen hormones were in for a treat. But more importantly, this was extremely easy for parents to monitor. If you were a European parent then you very often didn’t care if your kid was watching movies with sex and nudity but the over the top American violence was something you’d specifically avoid exposing young Tommy to.</p> <p>That really is the core <em>raison d’être</em> for rating agencies. They exist so as to educate parents as to what the media they’re viewing contains so that they can make an informed decision on whether to purchase a movie or a game for their kids.</p> <p>Over the years more and more categories were added in the name of granularity and accuracy, and while that in itself is not a problem and should be applauded, the way that the FPB has insisted that they <em>all </em>be displayed at the same time has led to this garbage crime against graphic design. If you’re reading this article after our own Watch Dogs Legion advertising has expired, you’ll have missed out on this word salad:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="351" height="128" data-attachment-id="1109475" data-permalink="https://www.criticalhit.net/entertainment/has-the-fpb-made-itself-redundant/attachment/image-18/" data-orig-file="https://media.criticalhit.net/2020/11/image.png" data-orig-size="351,128" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="image" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://media.criticalhit.net/2020/11/image-300x109.png" data-large-file="https://media.criticalhit.net/2020/11/image.png" src="https://media.criticalhit.net/2020/11/image.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1109475" srcset="https://media.criticalhit.net/2020/11/image.png 351w, https://media.criticalhit.net/2020/11/image-300x109.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px" /></figure></div> <p>The FPB has rated Watch Dogs Legion as 18 (CT)DHLPSV(CI)… I would bet real money on the fact that not only does 99% of the population not know what those all mean but that also any parent buying this game would simply ignore that and not even see that it’s rated 18. It looks like a bar code.</p> <p>For the 99% of you who don’t know what that jumbled alphabet means, here you go:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>(CT) – Criminal Techniques</li><li>D – Drugs</li><li>H – Horror</li><li>L – Language</li><li>P – Prejudice</li><li>S – Sex</li><li>V – Violence (Not to be confused with SV which is a rating for Sexual Violence)</li><li>(CI) – Criminal Intensity</li></ul> <p>So don’t feel bad if you didn’t score 100% there, if it helps (it doesn’t) there is a document that you can check which explains what each of the letters mean and can be <a aria-label="accessed here (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.fpb.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Classification-Guidelines-2019.pdf" target="_blank" class="rank-math-link">accessed here</a> </p> <p>I ranted about this on Twitter and Herono piped up that it’s not actually a problem with the granularity but rather the design. I kid you not, Herono created a better mock up in a few minutes that solved this problem instantly:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I did a quick mockup of a different sticker design that a) removes the ambiguity b) gives priority to the information you care about and c) actually tells you where you can find more info. <a href="https://t.co/n7bmHHlQH7">pic.twitter.com/n7bmHHlQH7</a></p>— Herono (@AlmostAHero) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlmostAHero/status/1319651437639536642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2020</a></blockquote><script data-minify="1" async src="https://www.criticalhit.net/wp-content/cache/min/1/widgets.js?ver=1691687156" charset="utf-8"></script> </div></figure> <p>And there you go, a massive 18 that you can’t miss and a quick breakdown of the reasons why. The reference number is clearly visible but not important for the majority of people, and you can check the FPBs website if you need more info. </p> <p>The FPB not existing at all and South Africa just adopting PEGI is still my preferred option but if they are going to continue to steal people’s money then at least do the job properly.</p> <p>As an example here are the Watch Dog Legion ratings from PEGI and the US of A’s ESRB:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://rating.pegi.info/assets/images/games/age_threshold_icons/18.png" alt=""

you think, are the FPB still useful and just need someone with half a brain to sort its incompetence out or should they be dissolved and allow for South Africa to make use of ESRB and PEGI ratings instead?
