Hate Against Kids (Rant)
Hello I am a [u]13 year old[/u] gamer and I play [b]Destiny[/b]. When I join someone or go on [b]raids [/b]I am Called "[i]Squeaker[/i]".
I am apparently someone to laugh at and abuse for being [u]2 years[/u] younger then another person. About 1 in 15 people are nice and don't care. When I need help with a Raid I invite people and ask people for help, then I am abused because I am [u]13 [/u]and have a voice that is kind of high.
I play with[u] 6-9 year old's[/u] if they need help... most other people just bully them and ruin the experience of Communication on this awesome [b]MMO[/b]. I love [b]Destiny [/b]it is fascinating and enjoyable... but about [b]70%[/b] of the community are bullies towards "Little Kids". If you don't want to play with someone because they have a voice that you absolutely can't stand, don't be a Bully just say "Sorry I really don't want to do this... I want to do other things" as appose to hurting feelings and being a dick.
You were a kid once whats wrong with it?
If they are screaming in the microphone and being really Annoying then give them a chance tell them your gonna kick them if they keep going, then if they keep going don't retaliate just be chill and say "Hey you had your warning... sorry your being kicked".
The thread is about people being bullies after they say a few words in a high voice. Also if they try to be funny don't laugh and say that wasn't really that funny try something else. About 4 years ago I got Xbox with COD and I did these things to so I can understand why people gave them this reputation. I feel it should be changed a little bit. Fighting fire with fire never works out it's just a waste of time.
If this is changed I would think [b]Destiny [/b]would be more inviting and people under [u]14 [/u] would enjoy it a lot more!
Also shut up about ratings. Look at the movies people sneak in all the time your not gonna stop anything.
In Australia you are allowed to play it so you can't say crap about kids from Aussie. Think of something without involving ratings or do you need to rely on them?
[spoiler]Australia has different spelling and grammar and I am 13 get off my case.[/spoiler]

I've had to boot a couple of younger people (kids-- I think the term "squeakers" is unnecessarily pejorative) from fireteams and both times is was because I found it weird to try and "socialize" with kids, especially in light of how sensitive folks seem to be about the potential for predatory interactions of that kind. Playing games like Destiny (especially tough missions/raids) can lead to emotions running high and frustration, swearing, and other "inappropriate" language that, while I know probably isn't new to most kids playing games online, still is something that kids shouldn't be hearing all the time from adults, IMHO. So rather than struggle to constrain my language and the topics that get discussed, I'd rather spend my free time relaxing with other adults, simple as that. Sometimes I drink a little alcohol while playing as well and that makes keeping up that "adult" facade even more difficult, lol. TL;dr: After watching my mouth and being "dad" all day long, I play games to socialize with other adults and playing with kids kind of goes against that and makes me feel like I have to watch my mouth too much. It's nothing personal, and I hope you can find other folks nearer your own age to play with.
