Too many under-aged?

Jtojto a dit :
Hi Jto is providing his "short" opinion and leaving, so no need to worry.

I feel like the number of children under 13 or so isn't really the problem. The problem is when their parents don't teach them any manners or etiquette on how to behave appropriately while talking, be it in person or online. When they are behaving in annoying, spammy and rude ways to people for no real reason is when it becomes a problem, in my opinion at least. Now of course, I do know that if you've ever played in a room with me you probably think I'm annoying unless you've actually talked to me. If I'm with my friends I'm typically kind of spammy and rude, but in a sarcastic manner, to them. However, I try not to offend anyone else, but there's always someone who will still find me offensive or annoying. But I suppose you can't please everyone, now can you?

I'm sure their parents do try to teach them manners, but the fact that their identity is anonymous, they feel like they could roam the dictionary from a-z to look for harsh words they can then forward on into public chat

Mousechris, darling. Bless you. Really, bless you. That being said, I don't exactly keep up with who's staff and who's NOT. Please don't make assumptions like that because not everyone stalks staff like you do. :( Furthermore, I was simply using that to make a statement, kapeesh?
Amen, Chex. It's also their parents' wallets that keeps the fraise flow going, right? ;)

ugh oh my god god bless this whole post thank you garnet-sama

Impure has the blue MapCrew name, there's no need to try and insult Chris.

Sorry, did that come across as insulting? Didn't mean for it to.

I get you were making a statement but using him as an example isn't very good

And you should know it just from the fact he has a blue name, he's differant from everyone elses name, so you can safely assume he is staff

edit: lagia that wasn't insultive just very sarcastic/rude

Kids are more popular in the game, the only way to get rid of swearing and stuff is growing up not kicking them out
Because : No kids = no games
I mean , why are GAMES created , if kids arean't accepted in ?

@Impuredeath b/c I'd rather not quote you

ster·e·o·type
ˈsterēəˌtīp,ˈsti(ə)r-/Submit
noun
1. a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

I'm pretty sure what you said has //at least// crossed over the definition of the word sterEotype so I don't know what you keep repeating yourself for. But sterEotypes never die, do they?

And back on topic I guess, I think that the amount of underaged people on this game is alright because they don't care enough to get angry with shitty updates and it keeps our lovely Tigrounette happy. :~)

I really don't see how using rainbow colours makes you seem like a kid though, haha. I mean come on, how many of them can figure out bbc?

Are you people even reading what I said? Now here I'll give an example. If you give random people a test, that makes them look at a rainbow coloured text and a perfectly formulated and punctuated text. Then they have to write what kind person they expect. Do you think the chance is high people will think the rainbow text is written by an adult. And the formulated text is written by a kid. I don't know the outcome, but you can do this test for yourself. Or you can look at yourself how you would judge something. Because not everyone is a pure person that doesn't have bias.

My whole point is, that people have a high chance of considering you low due to the fact that they easily steriotype. Because here on the forums the only thing you iknow about the people. Is maybe them from tfm, their avatar, the way they talk. It is sensitive information.

Now I don't need you guys explaining me what stereotype is because that is sorta what I have been doing this whole time. Also there are more interpertations of the word anyways, in different subjects.

I think he means that the target audience for this game is children and not adults and the fact that the majority of players are younger than eighteen years.

Exactly !
If there was no kids , Games would be never created,
Or else they will be boring

Keep in mind that -18 players are also considered as KIDS and GROWN KIDS !
Adults won't care for play .
E: i would never say better then that comment above me ^

Yes, yes, that's what I meant by children because as we know, you shouldn't play this game without parent's permission if you are under thirteen years which is what the topic of this thread is about. Yes, yes, yes.

Uh, video games and games in general would still thrive if there weren't kids, and adults can play games and have fun too, just saying.

Incorrect.

What is this even implying, that people over the age of 18 wouldn't care about playing games?

Your first post said how adults wouldn't care to play, yet there are many 18+ players on Transformice, and tons tons more playing other games. Being an adult doesn't automatically make it to where you can't play games.

And everyone needs "life and food" to live with, just saying.

I think a lot more 'adults' play this game than you seem to think.

Real life commitments etc have no impact either, this doesn't mean that people can't play games.
(If that's even what you're saying IDEK MENG)
