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.

This forum post has the lowest IQ rating I think I have ever seen on this topic.

Ok...I see what your saying. But I started playing rated M games when I was 8 (halo 1). Yet I don't cuss I love weapons yet I am responsible with them! I'm not anti-social and I have a job! I believe it is more of a parenting problem. Look into that it is more of an influence then gaming. That is a side effect.

What the Heck is up with this topic? First off, it's T rated. Yeah yeah, I know. That doesn't mean teens should play it though B3Bob! Well, that doesn't change the fact that ESRB rated it T and you can do nothing about it. Also, a 2 year minimum prison sentence? What? For playing a video game? Why don't you let the police worry about people committing actual crimes? Well this is an actual crime B3bob! No it's not. It never will be. This is a T game, and even if you want it to be a crime for teens to play it it will never be. The ridiculousness of someone being arrested for two years for playing is laughable. I also saw a small comment about young male video gamers thinking that women are objects? What hat have you been pulling bunnies out of? When has that ever been a problem? People need to stop worrying about this type of stuff.

1 ReplyEdited by Phantom: 6/27/2015 12:16:22 AMI agree with you. Not so much about this game but squeakers are the most annoying things ever when I'm playing GTA online. I can't go two seconds without hearing a 10 year old scream into his mic saying 'you -blam!-ing suck you -blam!-ing piece of shit' after killing someone.

5 RepliesViolence among youths has dropped since the 1980s, really when consoles became a product. Video games have become more violent over the years. Think about that for a second. Is there a relationship?

1 ReplyThis is on point. After shooting a couple dregs in the face I feel the evil rising in me. I want to dump oil in the ocean and blame it on my secretary. Taint the city's water supply, and eventually take over the world. I should just stick with TV, it's way less graphic.

My 5 year old loves destroying in pvp. No joke.

4 RepliesI agree, I'd also like to add the point that the game will make kids see women as just objects, Eva they don't see as a female with feelings but as the bitch with shaders and emblems, if this manifests in the real world we would be rolling downhill, like a... Sad Tyre

This had to be said. All those Destiny playing kids are tearing this country apart.

Wait so ur saying that anyone under 18 playing this should go to jail for 2 years? Prison is much worse than a video game and if it becomes a felony worthy of prison to play a game underaged then I'm going to lost faith in humanity.

[quote]it causes violence[/quote] This is hands down the most ignorant statement I've ever heard in my life. First of all 'maturity' varies from person to person and besides that Destiny contains fantasy violence. When I was watching Star Wars at 4 years old was I thinking "well I'm gonna grow up to shoot lasers at people" no because that's not how your mind works. Let's look more into this T rating that Destiny has: animated blood (vex juice, other liquid type substances that do not resemble blood or gore in anyway) and violence (shooty shooty fantasy guns). People are placed in a fantasy world using fantasy weapons against fantasy enemies and this in no way dictates that someone will become violent. Games that have more adult themes are an entirely different story (ex GTA). Violence does not equal violence and saying such just makes you look stupid.
