It has nothing to do with kids liking blood gore and guts..it has to do with kids wanting to feel grown up and "cool"

 

well yes, thats the half of it. they also want to be like tough men...

which is why you dont see a lot of kids reading romance or comedy, they go straight to action and stuff like that.

Um... I loved reading (and watching) comedy and romance when I was younger.

Also, that remark is a tad sexist.  I don't think girl gamers "want to be like tough men."

 

I think he was meaning the stereotype that most kid gamers are little boys, though same could be said that most of the "core" demographic of gamers 12 to 26 year old males also ACT like little boys.
