(Also you may remember me from the sensitive discussion, so hello again.)For some reason parents believe that we're stupid enough to act out a game. Now people believe that if we play games like GTA V we'll grab a gun and we'll kill people. But some others actually know that we're not idiots. It's 2016 WE"RE NOT STUPID!!! Some parents actually MAKE their kids destroy their games because they say they're making you idiots and making you insane. Look if they're any parents reading this I want you to know, CHILDREN ARE'NT IDIOTS AND STOP TREATING US LIKE WE ARE!!! I'm starting up a new movement called #keepplaying. I want who ever supports my cause to repost the hashtag or retweet it so we can show parents that kids are smarter than they think.

A game like gtv does nothing to help with character building, it doesn't help with brain training, gtv5 requires no intellectual skills so as a gamer i agree with them gtv5 is simply an enjoyable mind rot, i think you will find they will be more open minded when you can present with games that do well help with brain training and can back that up with facts which there are plenty of articles just on the internet that support this, gtv5 or any game like that does not help. Your age also becomes a factor and also its simply being a parent, a parent will worry even if you do something safe like walking home at night.

There was a time when people believed that rock&roll was a form of Satan worship. People used to believe that watching TV rots your brain. It's the video games' turn to be stigmatized now. Basically, what people don't understand, they fear. What they fear, they resent. That's as old as man itself. Violent and all other kinds of socially unacceptable behaviour exists throughout the milennia, and people need something to place the blame on. Until they find a new scapegoat, video games will be to blame.

My dad never believed any games did that, it's why he would buy games for me every year. He also played them with me sometimes.

My mom thought that voilent games made children violent after watching some idiots on the news say that it did. She hid my copy of 007 for Nintendo 64.

Glad to say my mother wasen't like that, she knows it's how you raise your child that counts, and if I ever did anything from a game that was stupid and would get me in trouble I'd never see those games again till I buy them myself.

My parents are exactly like that. Whenever i play COD Black Ops or MW3.... They are like hey thats a rude word even though i watch dozens of MA15+ & R18+ movies with them. Thats why i prefer games on consoles/pc where i can use my headset to block them out. MY PS3 games are the No-Mans Land

I miss 2003-2006 forget the mainstream media, even Discovery was going on about this silly argument back then.

In 2016, this still remains as the stigma among Asian parents. Calling them narcissistic isn't enough.
Right now I have persuaded my mom that I've entered a tournament for Overwatch, yet my dad isn't satisfied because "I don't care what the hell it is, as long as it's a video game I won't let you enter!"

"overprotective parents create retarded sons"

i gotta make a new argument that this is true. theres this boy in my grade and it was rly hard for him to mature up. his MOM limits everything he does including playing games and he is rly dependent on his parents. i bet when hes 35 he'll still gonna live with his parents.

ur parents shuld know that being overprotective towards a son is very bad and can mess up with their independence

One links to another, its a chain reaction....

They are ove protective because they are fools, and their sons has the same DNA, so their sons are fools too.......

But their is exception, where an intelligent son can be born in an over protective family, in that case that son creates his own path when he become age 12..., despite all the obstruction....

True intelligence can't be manipulated or covered, it always finds his own path, it's the ultimate force......,
