parents parents parents parents, like eld said i was rocking doom and wolf 3d back in the day im only 26 so i was pretty young. I turned out good, the problem is upbringing, and children are so stupid today they cannot disassociate the difference
Parenting has little to do with that, You can protect your kid against everything you imagine and still be the most shit parent, in fact, this is the most normal scenario of shitty parenting you'll find. Or you can be a perfectly good parent, and sit there with your kid as he/she plays the game, and explain stuff, and…
So, you would rather take legal advice from someone who has absolutely no experience with the law in any form? I would rather take parenting advice from someone I know to be a good parent, than some random opinionated dude on the internet who has never raised children. This to me just seems like common sense.

Andreas, you trying to blame Gamestop when they warned the parent, is ridiculous to the point of insane absurdity. And "warning the parent that there is unsuitable content doesn't mean much to most parents" is also ridiculous. The parent made a choice, a choice that is blatantly hers; points to the contrary are moot. Our…
