lol, I think it does. I take this as an example from my cousin. He is, I think, six or seven, and here is what he does.

1. Plays Grand Theft Auto to the Fullest extent.

2. Listen to people cuss all the time.

3. gets in a bunch of fights at school.

And then there are a few things left unsaid, cause they are kinda, abnormal, for his age, and would surely show why I think yes.

Well, for those in realistic nature like GTA sure it's quite YES but for your example, I may agree with you, as long as it's not realistic it's okay.

I'm not saying this like parents-like, but I've read that some brats really confessed that GTA made him did burglary. And for safety I think it's kinda ok for some violence-themed games being banned, not everyone is mentally-stable as we do, close-to-psychopath people do exist. The only way to prevent them from thinking anything bad is by them not knowing it, I suppose (or maybe at least that's what govs think)

 

Also I chose second option and I'm not an idiot, I've stated my reason for saying that here. Someone should really change those words on that poll

i think that for some games there should be just 3 ratings:

- E (Everyone)

- T (Teen)

- T+ (equivilent of an 15 age rating)

and obviously keeping the Ao rating for ''adult'' games

 

it is a fact that the younger you are, the smaller the difference you see between real and fake. so age ratings to have to be put in for that, but i don't think a 12 year old boy would be scarred for life by playing something like bioshock.

 

and i'm sorry about the poll, at the time i didn't think about the other side of the arguments, therefore nobody would say yes. i can't change the poll though, it won't let me
