gerrySo I have a question for you. Your kid is 12 or 13 and there’s this really bad ass movie coming out. Let’s say it’s based on a comic. Let’s also say this is a very mature comic so the movie gets an R rating. You wouldn’t let your kid see it right? Or at least the theater wouldn’t unless you were there too. So why do I have to put up with your snot nosed bratty like hell spawn in my online games? The way I see it, letting your kid play an M rated game targeted at adults where adults are playing is like driving you child down to the strip, picking out a bar and telling little johnny-bastard pants, “Have fun!”
I wouldn’t mind so much if the majority of them were elitist little punks spewing nothing but obscenities and calling everyone bitch, fag, and homo with every other word spewed from their red-headed step-child mouth, singing “gangsta” songs they also shouldn’t know. This was especially bad in Halo 3… until Call of Duty 4 got popular with the kiddies… Now I can’t get one game without some little punk ruining the entire thing.

This would be a moot point if it were as simple of muting them. But then the age old concept of team killing comes into play. Pretty much every other hardcore game type I play is filled with some kid who thinks it’s funny to kill their own teammates. It’s enough to make a guy wish there was a feature that forced you to prove you age before and while playing, and if your maturity level dropped below a certain point, your banned for LIFE! I know, I know, ridiculous and wishful thinking.

Parents, buy your kid’s Barbie’s Super Horse Adventures and keep them out of my killing grounds. They play with the big dogs, they will get treated accordingly.
