Hmm I understand what you mean. At the same time though, if parent's are okay with their child playing that type of game for fun, then they must feel their child is mature enough to handle it. Like I said, it's muuuch easier for a kid to flip on the television or computer and see much much worse things than a character beating people up in a game.

About the female thing, I never thought of that. But again. Thought process : Computer + females = ????. (I'm sure you can figure it out)

I don't think parents know what the kids are playing, they don't watch the screen and see exactly how much blood there is in an FPS or what happens during certain parts of GTA. When the kids who grew up with PS1 and on become parents, it will be better.

They succumb to the "Mommy can I have Call of Duty? All my 5th grade friends have it..." thing.

I have nothing against violent games being made; the industry should consider that adding it does not make their game better or more artistically edgy.
