Should you be allowed to hurt/kill kids in video games?

Yes, if that is the will of the artist. Censorship of gaming content is no different then telling painters what is and is not appropriate to put on the canvas. Obscenity and tastefulness are separate issues, the artist's ideas should have the right to exist.

I think on this issue people sometimes mix up the ability of young children to obtain games that have these themes, with the question of whether these games should be allowed to exist. These are separate issues, protect kids of whatever age for whatever reason you want, but do not limit the rights of others in the process.

Slightly necro'd threads FTW!

And yes, if you want full immersion you shoud be able to kill children. I would have totally vaporized Little Lamplight, since we're on the topic and all.

I see it as no different from killing an adult, honestly. One is younger than the other but other than that...

It's just rampant think of the children ism.

If your allowed to rape women in japanese video games why can't u kill children in american and european games?

 

[A Weary Exile]

Why not?

 

[McMarbles]

Why not?

Because they never have anything good.

i will allow them to kill kids when they STOP allowing dogs to be killed, i dont give a shit when people die, but a dogs whine is a hell of a lot worse then a kids cry.

 

[iblis666]

id say yes you should just so i can finally kill that kid that took that girls doll in stormwind she has been chasing him for five years

In Warcraft 3 you could kill kids. Why'd all the developers stop putting that stuff in?

I don't distinguish between "adult" and "kid."
