If you are the kind of parent that doesn't want your child playing or watching things that are meant for a mature audience then you simply can't blame those things for existing, If you don't want your kids to see something then it's down to you to make sure they don't. I'm not sure why you are having so much difficulty with that.
I think it's dumb to shield kids like that, it's better to make sure they can differentiate between the game and reality and understand that violence in real life is not okay. I was always allowed to play and watch what I liked and I (like so many people) never had any problems because I knew it was just a game or a film or whatever.
I remember that thread and I love how you're throwing my comments out of context. I was basically being victim blamed in that thread because I said the customers are not always right and that people who work in retail have to deal with abuse from customers regularly and people were saying that, if I got abused then it was probably my fault as someone who works in retail. I said that you couldn't understand what it's like to work in retail and dealing with abusive customers if you've only ever been a customer. That's a fair comment, I wouldn't presume to tell a builder what it's like to build a house or tell a surgeon how to operate.
Parenting however is not a job and anyone can experience it and you don't have to have your own kids to understand what it's like to be responsible for a child or make suggestions.
Your last point is ridiculous and complete nonsense and it confirms something for me. You don't really know what you are arguing for or against in this thread since your main priority seems to be scoring points against me because you have just completely switched your stance on a dime in order to make one of the biggest reaches I've ever seen to suggest that I'm insulting Chewy when that's blatant to everyone that i'm not. Go back and read my posts PROPERLY and you'll see that I'm in agreement with Chewy. The 'bubble' comment is proof that you haven't really read or understood anything I've said since you think I'm endorsing strict observation over children when I'm not. Like I've said a few times, you can't blame something for existing if you don't want your children to see it but aren't willing to use the tools at your command to stop them. It's an easy enough point, or it would be if you actually read posts properly.
Step away from your device, take a breather. Go form an actual opinion on the matter that isn't 'I hate Dezzy so I'll oppose him on everything whether it makes sense or not'. it's apparent that your input in this thread is purely reactionary to me rather than you having any interest or an opinion about the subject matter since you actually haven't shared an opinion on it at all. Your first post was in support of jibes made be Sheriff towards me and every post sicne has been in response to me.
Do you actually have an opinion on the subject matter?
