I don't hate kids, I definitely don't like them but I've met some chill kids and some annoying kids (same as 'adults') playing this game. I would just prefer to not play with children because there is literally nothing for me to talk about with them. I'm too old to have anything in common with them and part of the fun in playing multi-player games online is making new friends and talking about common interests. Plus, I curse like a sailor and I don't feel compelled in any way to censor myself, so it's just better for everyone involved if I don't play with kids or keep everything muted when I do.
