Yeah, for sure. I think that basically, bad parenting is an issue. Letting eight year-olds play Black Ops II over voice chat against people in their 20's shouting profanities and getting pleasure from making head-shots. With the parental controls built-in to every device that plays video games, there is little room for excuses. Parents need to not buy kids M-rated games if the kids are too young to know the difference or if they exhibit signs of aggression. |
Yeah, I agree. I find that the rating system continues to lower the bar year after year, making an E game or a G movie contain more violence or suggestive themes than before.
But even adults are ingesting a lot of violence nowadays, which really wasn't the case before, and I believe it is not good for the fabric of our society in general over the long run. It mostly feeds a negative cycle in our society. It's hard to preach when some of these games please me and are hard to put down, though I know deep down that violence in games and movies isn't something I'm generally for, especially not in today's dose. Most popular games today are highly violent and it's a bit scary to be completely honest.
