One of the most ridiculous things about age verification are the assumed ages for using things. For example, recommended Age Ratings for movies way overestimate the age somebody should be to watch things. I was watching NC-17 movies at the age of 7. Powerful experience, but I grew up a normal person. I still remember being 10 and thinking how ridiculous the PG-13 and R classifications were to the level of maturity I already had at that age. Thankfully I had parents who didn't care and I could watch whatever I wanted.
- riffraff 1y agoKids are generally way more resilient than they get credit for, but not all kids are the same. I have two, one of them was fine watching people's faces melting in Raiders of the lost Ark when he was 6, the other had nightmares for a couple days after seeing Gollum in LoTR. The regulations on age are by necessity arbitrary, but I don't think they're completely stupid, even tho I agree parents should be the one responsible in the end.
