I apologize.

I made a decision to avoid posting topics whose humor is derived from the reaction of the replies, not from content of the topic itself. Obviously this topic was treading on that line and not many people could see it was satirical. Therefore many angry replies were had despite it being tagged #satire. But rather than leave the thread up with a disclaimer, I feel it's better to take it down. So...sorry.

  • [quote][quote]Rated T for teen. (online interactions not rated by the ESRB.) [/quote] How often does this appear on the covers of video games? Better yet, how often is it paid attention to or even enforced? Clueless parents go to wal-mart or to gamestop to by the latest, hottest new game for their children, not caring much about what the game may contain in it. If it makes their child happy, why not? Thus, the population of children on violent video games is growing ever more prevalent. Just the other day I played one of the Call of Duty games only to have some 10 year old tell me that he shared a bed with my dear mother. Another accused me of being Jewish. This is quite tragic, as children should not be saying those things. What causes it? Well, they are exposed to the online community before they are mature enough to handle the online community. That, and they are playing violent video games. Destiny is rated T for teen. That means that it was specifically geared towards those who have just entered the age of puberty. It was not meant for children. It may not be too graphic, but it is definitely violent. It won't be long before a 9 year old bashes his sister's head open looking for loot and glimmer. That is why I propose we restrict users from under 13 from playing Destiny. How do we do that? Well, with the xbox 360 and PS3, it's impossible. But with the PS4's camer and xbox One's Kinect, facial recognition could be utilized. It scans players' faces, matches them up with a public database, and verifies the age on record. If the face does not match or if the player is not registered, then he or she cannot play. Until they get registered (and verify the registration with SSN), they will be unable to play. Of course the parents will do most of this work. But, if the children do this themselves, then it will be a boon to them. For they will be preparing for the real world, where they have to handle taxes.[/quote] Are you the real long face?
