Profanity or Graphic Content Filter? | Forums

[Jedimindtrxx]

Woah, learned a lot here, even as an adult it all makes sense.

I don't go into a cartel/gang hideout and shoot it up BUT

I do go about my everyday saying "****balls" and "penetrate the center" due to this game's Voice lines.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to troll anyone, I was just looking for a legit answer. So far, the ones that make the most sense to me are "I don't want my kids learning to curse from a video game, let them learn it the old fashioned way from school, TV, music, and people on the road when their parents cut someone off" and "My wife would be pissed if she found out the kids learned to curse from my game and I'm rather fond of sex these days".

To be fair this Will most likely be a mature rated game for the obvious gun violence in the game

My question is why would you want your profanity filtered when there are worse things like killing other people in the game?

Just curious how you want to get rid of profanity but keep the gun violence, makes no sense to me. Its like going to a strip joint but not wanting the girls to take their clothes off.

I’m not trying to troll, I just don’t see how your request makes any sense with this game

If people are worried about their kids picking up swear words in this game they got problems. they should be more worried about kids picking up on gun violence instead

Hell, kids shouldn’t be playing this game at all in my opinion SMH..

There is no link between video games and violence. Luckily for us, or there would be a ban and we wouldn't get forums like this to try and look clever on....


Kids copy language. It's how brains work. Language is ironically worse than violence.
But only if my wife here's it.

Just seems like an excuse for a selfish adult to spend time with their child while doing exactly what they want. A game like this is not how you spend quality time with your kid. It's also a shame that the only qualification for being a parent is unprotected sex. I crave for a future where a written test becomes mandatory before said action.

I mean seriously whatever happened to common sense in this world.

I agree with your 1st point, hate playing ghost wars when I can hear someone's kid in the background. I'm only supporting this idea because kids are interested in video games and will actively try to witness them.

About your 2nd point, some interesting books where written on that subject in the 20's and 30's, the eugenics movement. It's why some french dude invented IQ tests. Unfortunately some little known Austrian artist read those books and it didn't end we'll.

I love games too, but all entertainment contributes to violence movies, games and music regardless what your link says. Sadly mental health is a huge issue in today’s society so people go copy things in our entertainment space games, movies and music

remember that guy that called the swat team over a call of duty match on the other guy and caused his death from across state lines? Yeah you should go read it. It was this popular game that you know called call of duty. Violence is in every entertainment space. He got charged with “swatting” and claiming false statements leading to a man’s death now he’s doing 25 to life. And it all started with gun death threats. Sadly in ended up to a man’s death

Moral to the story is that violence is everywhere in every form even video games, so whatever your link says is invalid sorry 🤷*♂️

It started off with “death threats” on a first person shooter and Sadly in ended up to a man’s death

You could of just said "i didn't read it" lol.....

The evidence is solid. The study is easily robust enough to support the findings. But, and it's a considerable but, the study was done in Europe.

As you correctly state mental health isn't a variable discussed with the findings. I'm not stating that people with mental health problems aren't more likely to be negatively effected by media, I'm stating that currently the most supported academic study on violence in videos games suggests there is no link to aggressive behaviour.

Boarding speaking, I've never been swatted, neither have you, or anyone else apart from one outlying example. And that happened because of the competition, it happened because of the game not because of the violence in the game. That's different, remember that dude in Korea that killed someone because he lost a sword in WOW? That supports the argument, not everyone playing WOW kills people. Right?

Anyway, totally off topic. In a much smaller study, my kid plays violent games and I don't care. It's doesn't effect him. But he will copy the language. I'm only really arguing for the sake off it here, ghost recon has bad language and violence, and the language would be easier to filter, and I wouldn't mind. But really don't care either way.

Ps, I know I sound like knob above, by that's how it writes. Cool, lol.

No not everyone that plays video games are violent that’s not what I was trying to say and No I didn’t read it cause it’s false. it was hard for me to Believe as well but sadly on entertainment not only games contribute to gun violence/violence

now what I am against is people are saying that gun violence in minors only come from video games which is not true they also come from movies and music as well

Basically what I’m trying to say is if people want to ban games, then ban movies and music as well that’s all

So if you let your kids play violent games are you OK with swearing in a game?
