Children do not belong in this game. For obvious reasons already stated.

The main reason has been stated pretty clearly. Violent games and digital children don't mix. Maybe you're okay with the murder, kidnapping, and otherwise abuse of fake kids, but it's the sort of thing that can get a game company sued. Or at least give the game bad press and shrink an already struggling player base.

oh ok, but having children in the game doesn't necessitate having them murdered, kidnapped or abused etc.
though those things would be awesome fun imo. i suppose the worst things that would be absolutely needed would be that the children's biological parents are killed and it has to be orphaned or adopted. children will probably have to go go hungry sometimes.

You don't get it at all. It's not something that video games do because it makes for REALLY BAD situations and mechanics. The reason that you can't have kids being killed in a video game is enough alone that the devs would not have them added since they want a open sandbox.

Doing bad things to children,even digital ones, is fun to you?

I think it is much better when we just send our debt enslaved children off to public school to be propagandized and then sit them in front of the TV to passively become mind controlled consumers of disposable products produced by slave-wage workers in less civilized countries.

Witness the violence inherent in the system

Edit to add: You know, female circumcision is quite popular in some cultures. I don't see why we couldn't add that to the game as well. Wait, I don't want to be sexist, so make it genital mutilation in general.

My point? Focus your judgement and shock somewhere else. Anything discussed in this thread pales in comparison to the abuses that the predator/invader called man unceasingly commits against his fellow man and the natural world.

i absolutely agree with champie's statements above.

but i do so love being cruel to digital children. there isn't so much you can do though, at least in the sims. here's a screeny from one of my typical sims game. the children have a pretty decent area to live in on the other side of those torture cells, and their father/great-grandfather etc even comes to visit them sometimes.

Aww, ain't it cute? Irrelevant when you mention it though so next time, kindly remove your green peace malarkey else where cause no one gives a **** in this section.
Bottom line, not happening.

Cute? Green Peace Malarkey? It must be nice to have been programmed with such easily repeatable retorts. It makes critical thinking irrelevant.

Also, I didn't ask for this "feature," but I am enjoying the discussion. So far, only you don't give a ****.

[dageir]

So your main argument is that other and worse **** is happening and therefore we should display violence and abuse of children in a computer game?
