42. So kids cannot get around their parents. And go and get addicted
to games with a little porn tucked in. Same as with smokes. Owning these games will be rare for a 13 year old - because they will have to rely on a 21 year old to buy them.

Why should a little 13 year old have his life messed up by imprinting on rough - impersonal sex when his body would tell him to do otherwise. If he was aloud to grow up normally and be left alone.

Nobody is saying to ban the games. Just get industries to acknowledge there is a difference between a kid who has no sexual history and is very vulnerable to all his first experiences...and an adult who may get addicted or not - but it will be of his own free will as an adult he has the maturity to say: this goes too far.

A little guy likely would have no way of saying: "this isn't me". Same as dating an adult. We don't assume by law that kids have the maturity or the experience to decide on sexual things and their own sexual health in reality. Why would we sell them fantasies - unregulated - when we don't allow them to date adults.

This is really not a big issue. Just logical. Treat kids like kids. Let them be influenced by their natural and child like environment. And then when they hit 18 - kick em out into the cruel world.
