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.

    Wait what? I don't have a single one of those, I am above age for destiny but I'm under 18. I play games like GTA all the time, and its fun as hell. Only reason I cuss is through what I've learned in college classes, swearing=more emotion. I don't go around -blam!-ing massacring the streets. Anti-social? How the literal -blam!- does that factor in? I'm not anti social and I've played mature games since I was 6. XD XD XD, 3-4 hours XD I've blown that number out of proportion so many times, but every time I do it it's with friends. My friends and I will go entire weekends gaming at each others house. Otherwise we use party chat. You don't see me robbing banks because I play payday two, you don't see me chopping people in half with swords because I play the witcher (this game is honestly one of the most mature games with great storytelling, it might -blam!- up some underage kids) Blaming games for how our generation is doesn't make sense, a good majority of the -blam!-ed up kids don't even play games. Hell, I play games that involve cocaine useage daily, I don't do -blam!-ing cocaine. I play game with intense amounts of sex, I don't have sex every day (have had it though, but tell me this, who didn't lose their virginity in high school?) in the end, games don't effect kids. It's a stupid bullshit argument that doesn't work. Despite playing mature games since I was six, I'm unintelligent as you suggest games make you. I'm doing great in high school and I'm doing college on the side, games have helped me through that. They are past time that I enjoy so very much.
