Earlier this month we talked about the upcoming rally being held to protest the Australian game rating system and how it works. This rally was no ordinary rally, as the participants were going to dress up in cosplay to… Increase the effectiveness of their rally? Either way, the event has already fell flat on it’s face.

It was apparently canceled due to a suspected low turnout rate. Hm. Go figure. Either way, it doesn’t appear that Retailer Gametraders, who planned the event, have given up yet.

“We have received an overwhelming amount of support from the public on our drive to have an R18+ rating introduced in Australia, especially with our latest drive. We have listened to our customers and to the numerous forum postings and have taken into account new ideas on how to get our message across.

For action to be taken on the discussion we need the support of the media to push awareness of the issue and put it on the political agenda. We will start with having our Managing Director present the petitions at Adelaide’s Parliament House, followed by a press conference.”

Also, GU Comics has a funny take on the whole situation you can check out here as well, it’s definitely worth checking out if you’ve been following the scoop or just want some laughs.
