But the newspapers always take the stance that violent video games influence children. Who the fuck lets their children play violent video games. And, how is this a problem of the video game when it is clearly labelled, with an age rating and content alerts on them. Time for newspapers to start berating the parents to start taking their parental responsibility seriously, and understand what their children are up to, what they are playing.
"Hey Little Johnny, why are shooting that crack whore in the arse, drug running, and killing cops?"
"You bought the game for me Dad/ All my friends play this game why can't I?"
Understand what your kids are doing on their machines. Ignorance is no defence in a court of law.
