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.

  • How you raise your child is not my concern. How I raise mine, [b]is not your concern[/b]. I have been playing violent video games since the invention of violent video games. I don't get into fistfights. I've never shot a real gun. If seeing/hearing violence causes somebody to commit violence, they have something more wrong with them... The argument that violent video games [i]cause[/i] violence, is weak, at best. Game lobby's don't have more cursing than music downloads or movies, TV shows on cable... I make choices on what is appropriate for my children on a case by case, child by child basis. What one could handle isn't necessarily appropriate for another at the same age. Children aren't made from a cookie cutter mold. Be responsible. [b]Be a [i]parent[/i][/b]. You want to protect your children, that's your right and job as a parent. I, for one, don't need you or the government telling me what is appropriate for my children.
