Playing Destiny Under Age

Although this is an old, already discussed problem, I believe that we can still change. I feel that the majority of players that play Destiny are under the appropriate age for shooters. I think this age should be 18 and over. I'll give you a few reasons. 1)It causes traumatic situations. I for one do not want my child flinching and screaming away every time they see somebody holding a sword. 2) It causes anti-social instincts to grow. When you think about it, the average session a child will play in Destiny is three to four hours. That's three to four hours where the only communication the are getting is with people they have met over the Internet. I don't want children growing older and being scared of every person they see. 3) It teaches them bad words. Every lobby I go into, there is always that person (usually a child) screaming curse words for no good reason. Where did they find out these words? From older players. If there was a minimum age, you would not have this problem. Children are getting angrier because of this game. 4) My final reason is that it causes violence. No 10 year old should be able to make another creatures head explode, or shoot other players virtually. What happens when that transfers to the real world? That anger and frustration would lead to much property being desecrated including Mailbox Baseball Laser Tag TPing Houses Egging Cars Multiple holes in the wall from being punched. ANY PERSON who do not follow these rules should be arrested with a minimum 2 year sentence. Thank you all for the support you give me. I believe that a change to only 18 year olds and over would make the worlds youth safer and more intelligent than currently.

    Okay first off what kind of situations do you put your kids in where there's a very probable chance they will see someone with a sword??? You know cuz you said you don't want your kids being scared any time they see someone with a sword..... Like seriously??? Secondly..... Because someone plays a video game, even a fictional first person shooter.... Doesn't mean they are gonna have their life lead towards violence. This is where people need to step in and be parents.... It's really that simple.... Be a f-ing adult and explain shit to your kids.... This is a fictional game, with a fictional story, and in no way relates to real life besides being a form of entertainment... If that's too difficult than you shouldn't be a parent in the first place.
