Main issue i have is parents have zero oversight of what their kids play these days, pubg and fortnite are as popular as minecraft with 10 year olds these days.


Why are those two problem

Pretty violent content for 10 year olds, both have a rating of 15+

You do not think that 10 years old is too young to be playing a simulator where you murder other people in a battle royal with extreme realism?
I think seeing depicted violence at a young age had a strong effect on my growth, i watched IT when i was 6 years old and ever since i can pull up the bathtub scene with a thought.
It really stuck with me.

If we hadn't already studied it and proven there's not a causal link between violent video games and violence then I might agree, but we have, and there isn't a causal link.

I watched It when I was 6 as well, and it had an impact on my childhood that disappeared as I grew up. The media that is consumed by kids is one of the less important factors in their lives.

Everybody has something that won't. That phenomena didn't' start with violent media.
