Stick and Stones MAY break my bones.. but, word can never harm me. I am not easily offended. They can be the foulest mouthed things in the world… It’s just words. I could care less… let them sling bigotry and hatred. What does it really do?
It doesn't really do much to me. But still, having some snot-nosed little punk whose testicles haven’t even dropped scream obscenities and racial/homophobic slurs at me isn’t exactly my ideal way to spend an evening. I wear headphones when I game because of this because I dont want my family to hear this while I try to enjoy the game working as a team with my teammates. PC gaming tends to draw an older crowd, and what kids are there are mostly more respectful.
I don't know what it is with M games and kids, but i have a feeling its the parents that let them play rated M games fault they act bad. If the parents let them play games as brutal as gears of war, then they must not do a who lot of other life lessons these kids need to learn also, such as respecting other people.
As the internet gets bigger and parents get stupider, this problem is only going to get worser. Kids take advantage of the ability to be anonymous on the internet, knowing that the worst they can get is yelled at over the mic. If i were there parents, they would be kicked off the game and grounded for months if i heard half the things I hear in online games coming from their little mouths.
Kids on E and T games are usually fine, but bring them into an M game, and they become the biggest assholes ever born, and don’t even get my started about Xbox Live…
