Oh come on Dennis. Requiring parental approval is not the same thing as throwing people in jail for flaunting conventions. Parents already have the right to throw out the video games if kids bring them home, so requiring labelling or parental permission to buy them in the first place is just part of the same power we give parents already.

You can object to the power we already give parents over children, but treating laws that just help parents exercise that already existing power as some kind of fascist tendency is not reasonable.
