look i’m not saying that children shouldn’t be allowed to play video games or anything like that but the fact that kids as young as EIGHT are using misogynistic, homophobic and racial slurs in casual conversations because they heard their favorite streamer or opponent on a video game say it is something that urgently needs addressing
Children shouldn’t be allowed to play online games until they’re more developed. Single player story driven games should be the standard for younger children, and I’m sorry but parents: YOU NEED TO RESEARCH THE STREAMERS YOUR KIDS ARE WATCHING. My cousin is a little asshole, and he’s specifically an asshole because he copies jerks like Logan Paul. I don’t even think he watches a youtuber than doesn’t cuss with every other word. There are tons of kid safe gaming channels on YouTube, you just have to help your kid find them. This has been a PSA by a grown woman who is sick of hearing rape threats over the mic by 12 year old boys as soon as they hear my feminine voice.
