While we have the same prejudice against games as mindless entertainment that exists in the states, this is combined with the belief that American cultural artifacts are particularly inane and violent.

Games aren't exempt from that as they often present American values like individualism, pragmatism, meritocracy, consumerism over traditional Australian values like mateship, larrikinism, a fair go and egalitarianism.
