I had a similarly negative view about your article and "passed judgment on you" for making the choices you made for your kid. In particular I have a very negative view about e.g. 6 year olds using guns to kill enemies in video games. If the article was about what I would consider to be more constructive video games I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought (eh I probably would still judge but not so negatively!). Did you ever worry about a game like Contra having a negative effect on Eliot? Thanks for chiming in :)
- waxpancake 9y agoHave you played Contra? The weapons are about as realistic as Mega Man's. It looks more like using bubbles to pop an endless stream of bad guys, Bubble Bobble-style. https://media.giphy.com/media/DpXqHdILXRRDi/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/DpXqHdILXRRDi/giphy.gif So, no, I never worried about anything in an NES game having a negative effect on him.
- randlet 9y agoYes I've played/beaten Contra. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree because to me it looks like shooting a lot of people with guns.
