@Hus: As a gaming site, VGChartz seems to have surprisingly high age average. Most of this "older" people don't see violence "cool", just only as a stuff that kids must have since they think it's mature (like the games rating). Also this people have kids and have started to think something else than their own asses. A lot of games do have a lot of content, which us parents don't want our kids to see.

Then don't let your kid play those games, its called parenting!!!

Iam not goona have my freedoms taken away just becasue you can't control what your kid watchs or plays.

Games have the ESRB ratings, why dont you do your job as a parent read the label see its rating is M and say NO little Billy this game is NOT for you.

 

Since you're saying in between the lines, that you are minor, who can't yet play M-rated games, no one is going to take your rights away, since you don't yet have ones. But, do you think that I am giving up on my kids rights because of some no-life 15 year old brat, who wants to play mature games because he thinks they are for adults. I can watch what my kids do at home, but friends houses are a bit different, for example i don't know many 12 yo:s, who wouldn't have at least one 18+ game. In general, the problem is parents who don't care what their kids play, but without a rating system, problem would be violent games itself. More games should be rated higher, since in the current situation it's enough to clean up the consiquenses, not the violence itself.

When I was younger my parents had a remarkable tool for this kinda thing.  It was called talking to my friends parents.  My friends parents all did the same... so they all knew what was acceptable and what games and movies my friends and I had and that the appropriate games were taken away when said people came over to play if they wern't aloud to play them.

It's just basic good parenting that every parent should do.
