Parents Fear Children’s Exposure to Gaming More Than Alcohol, Violence and Porns
August 14, 2008 by eddyhan
One known problem among our local gamers is having to go through parental objection to gaming.
In a recent poll done by a parental advisory site known as What They Play, nearly 3,000 respondents on 2 separate polls have concluded that parents fear their kids playing certain video games more than drinking beer and watching pornography. The poll also concluded that kids viewing violence is acceptable as compared to kids viewing sex in games.
The results actually projects that parents are more concerned on new information medium outlets rather than traditionally known social ills such as alcohol, drugs, violence and *cough* sex.
It is also commented in the poll that the reason parents are so afraid with the new medium is simply because the unfamiliarity to gaming.
Give your parents a game pad and most likely those who rebel against the idea of gaming does not know how to use it. Gaming gives them a high sense of insecurity as they do not know how to moderate their children in a product that is highly unfamiliar.
With this fact, I’m sure you will have no problem getting gifts for your parents on their next birthday.

See, who actually encourage violence here? TEH PARENTS. Sex is mainly a non-violence “activity”.
