Are “mature” games actually mature?

the people that generally raise this kind of argument, ironically are generally more elitist than the people they criticise

but regardless "mature" refers to the content of the game whether than be violence, sex, etc etc etc we generally try to keep younger people away from these themes and that is the reason for the distinction

This is true.  They're often very hypocritical and lean on heavily biased generalizations in order to paint all M-rated games in a bad light.  It's every bit as childish as the behavior they're complaining about.

Real maturity would be when you play whatever you want without the need to put down what others like.

 

yup i absolutely agree

 

on many occasions i've seen these people resort to calling war games like CoD or GTA or whatever immature because of the greater violent or sexual content and in doing so they propagate the very behavior they claim is objectionable

so i've come to the conclusion that their problem isn't really immaturiy being spouted by individuals, its simply disdain for other people who may have differing tastes and obviously it works in both directions not just from their side, but regardless of the side its equally immature
