As an adult, I can make the choice to play such a game, and not act out the images it shows. I can also make the choice not to allow my (theoretical) children to be exposed to such things until they are old enough to understand the difference between entertainment and reality. If you take away that choice, then, according to Burgess, we've lost something as a society, becoming more like a "clockwork orange".
