Let this be a thing please. I want to see the idiotic parents arrested for not looking at the rating of the game.
That's actually quite bad from the unexpected parents eyes.
Like, my mother. She never knew much about video games besides the names of the games to get and whether it be GTA or Super Mario Sunshine she wouldn't care and would get it. This was mostly due to her reading about those games in the newspaper and seeing they were good games (entire reason she bought Pokemon for us back when we were kids.) She knew that we were all smart enough to not be influenced by the video games violence and to not use the swears or insults we would learn from the games, she would teach us manners and to not say those words and we didn't.
She would just buy any video game she could for Christmas and Birthdays and they would sometimes be 16+ and 18+ games. She was just trying to make us happy and it worked. We loved all that vidya she bought us.
Back when I was kid I knew video games and real life aren't the same thing, and if the argument for this is just "da vidya gaems r bad becoz dey hurt kids ;_;" then it's a stupid argument.
Why not force parents to educate their kids to not act like retards in school. I mean the age of the Internet, Smart Phones and Media just not giving a fuck what they show will be worse for the kids in the long run than video games. Sure they may ALL hurt kids but I'd rather crack down on other stuff in society that could hurt a child more. Why can't parents just teach kids manners, not to swear, not to hurt other people and give them some sort of morals before society takes them away again, then we wouldn't have to deal with this that much.
I'd rather have my kids killing people in a video game than them watching some messed up things on the Internet using their Smart Phones, and even then, with the former I'd teach them that it's wrong, don't do it in real life and tell them to not use what they learn in the games in real life.
