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 sounds like #Satire, but there are so many stupid people in the world, I'm just going to assume it isn't, since you don't have the tag, and have said you aren't kidding in reply to other posts. 1. Lol wut. In what situation in life would someone be holding a sword? A movie? In real life, they probably better damn be flinching away, the mother-blam!-er got a -blam!-ing sword. 2. Friends on the internet are no different from friends in real life, other than they may not know what they look like. Can it be dangerous? Yes. But as long as they aren't an idiot, it will be fine. Also, unless you live in the middle of no where, your child should be in school and interacting with people all the time. 3. They are just words. "Oh no, he said Shit! Arrest him! Shun him! SLAY THY CHILD WHO SPEAKS THE WORDS WHICH ARE DEEMED BAD BY OUR SOCIETY" They will learn them anyway. They won't be kids forever. Obviously there are situations where words should not be used, but that is [u][b][i]your[/i][/b][/u] responsibility as a parent to teach them not to use them. 4. Multiple studies have shown that video games do not cause violence, but there was already something not right in the head about that person. If anything, it should prevent violence, because they have a way to get the violence out of their system without actually hurting anyone. Laser tag? Really? Now I know this post is satire. Arrested with a minimum 2 year sentence. Yes. That is how we prevent violence. Put people in prison! I swear if this post isn't satire or written in a sarcastic way, I actually might hit my head on a wall until a knock myself out. When I come to, I'll do it again.
