“I do not play by your limited knowledge objective rules, my rules extend far into adulthood and fatherhood and the last thing I want to do is end up in another argument with a teen or young adult who has no plans of being a father/mother.”

It’s the same tired argument that people have been using against contemporary entertainment and advertising for years. If there are bright colors and fantastic settings, it must only be for children and anything that is not should be shunned out of existence or into litigation as smut by sophisticated adults as we…

Except that a good portion of readers here are probably between 15-35

With such a restrictive attitude your child (if you actually have one) is going to grow up very rebellious. They will try smoking alcohol sex ect long before they are out of high school.
Ground yourself in reality my friend, it will ease you pain…

This guy seriously just said he thinks he needs to be the parent figure for, like, the whole world.

So yes, until Kotaku changes their privacy settings to make it restrictive to young adults, you share these forums with children of ALL ages. Just like (because of bad parenting) you share CoD with all ages too.

Right?
The amount of NSFW articles that pop up sometimes is pretty high, it definitely isn't a under 18 audience.

Time for a rude awakening. This may come as a complete shock but the world does not revolve around children, not even on the internet. There are plenty of designated places where kid-friendly bullshit runs rampant that you could send your kids to. Better yet, why don’t you be a real dad and parent your own kids by…

Yea, uhh Kotaku isn’t an under 18 website - there are plenty of NSFW articles on here meant for adults.

So you cant expect to control our kids all the time, but you wish to control the way everyone around them lives their lives? im sorry but that doesnt make sense. spend your time on the person who matters the most and who you have the most influence over ie. your child.

When your kids hit teenage years, they are going to hate you. Can just see it from the comments you’ve made. The kids that do all that shit that you seem so against? The ones with parents who are as self-rightous as you.

No basically what everyone is trying to say to you is that this article is about flappy birds and a vape pen. Your reluctance to turn this into a public health service announcement makes everyone roll their eyes at you and reminds them of that one person they know in life who they wish would just stop talking. No…

Potentially sharing forums with younger gamers is nowhere near the same thing as specifically targeting a website to minors.

And just because a game is deemed appropriate for a younger audience does not mean it is made for them, same is true for websites.

What are you talking about? If a game is rated 13 and up it doesn’t mean it’s aimed at 13-year olds. It means the content is unsuitable for children under 13. Do you think adults don’t play games for all ages? I’m in my 30s and I think my wife and I probably spend more time playing games rated for all ages like Mario…

Nobody needs vape, hookah, cigarettes, cigars, bongs, or anything else that CVS has recently removed from their stores (or refused to carry).

but thats not our job either. if anything choose the children your chilld befriends, not who they are as people, and if you really dont like it at all its either time to move or time for private schooling.

Maybe, but ill also care about my OWN child and not what everyone around me does. going on crusades like your doing right now do nothing but make you look like a real stick in the mud jerk, while not helping turn people to your cause at all. not to mention i hate stuff like this because we all have our own vices that…

You don’t need internet. Log off now.

Do you honestly think that your “words of wisdom” will actually impact anyone’s life on a website forum? If so you’re sadly mistaken...if smoking, vaping, etc... is something you’re not into ok fine, but quit lecturing ppl about values, habits, likes, etc... that are different from you own(because apparently you are…

But I think that this website being an under 18 targeted blog...

So what you’re saying is that as someone who quit smoking using a vaporizer, when I have kids they will not be raised in a good family? That sure sounds like some judgemental, self-righteous bullshit.
