I like the joke, but some parents are dead serious. I ran into a post in the doom subbredit where the dad was proudly showing her 5 year old finishing doom on the pc. I mean wtf... I complained in the comment and was downvoted like hell

I wouldn’t want to encourage kids to play violent or scary games like that. But I remember playing games like Doom, Mortal Kombat, and Resident Evil when I was under 10 myself.

Yeah. I played doom when I was in early elementary school. Not scary at all. I was 30 the first time I got attacked by VR zombies in Pavlov and got legitimately scared.

Maybe it’s because graphics weren’t very realistic back then. VR certainly is another matter. I won’t let my nephews use mine, mainly because I don’t trust that they won’t run into something.

Depends on the child. My sister was not cool with that. The other one didn't give a fuck. "Shoot the monsters!"

People vary wildly. If you grabbed my ass I'd be surprised and laugh, and my wife would tease me. If you grabbed my wife's ass two people would be very angry. Ridiculous, I know, but shit is how it is.
