You know what? I don't think you're hardcore at all.

And how old were you when you played your first "mature" game?  Was it Grand Theft Auto 3 back in 2001?  Was it Mortal Kombat Back in 1993?  Or did you wait until you were 18 years old?

I don't know you but be honest, you little devil, you.

That's irrelevant. The role of the parent is different to that of a friend.

 

You post actually reminded me of "Danny the Dog" with Jet Li, "get them young enough and you can get them to do anything".

Danny's master was gloatin the same way you are.

If he's helping her contextualize what she's seeing on the screen and always makes a clear distinction between what is okay in a fnatasy context and what is okay in a real context, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what's going on here, and htis form of father/daughter bonding can only be a positive thing.

This is interesting to me. I've been playing and seeing violent things in video games since my youth, and my parents (nor anyone else) ever felt the need to contextualize things for me in the sense of "that's a video game and it's okay in the game, but not in real life."

I always knew that already in my head and grew up with that sort of common sense, identity, or whatever you want to call it. Am I such an anomaly? I hear all this talk about how parents need to watch and tell their kids what's okay when it's something I've always understood without the need for someone to explicitly tell me.
