Why does The Escapist hate kids?

Because children aren't funny, and I live for amusement.
It's why Dan Schneider's stuff annoys me, especially when they bring in a oh-so-hilarious child with attitude who attacks everyone, whereupon the canned laughter is thrown everywhere at any opportunity.
Also, for some reason I'm not allowed to shoot or execute children for being complete twats. No justice these days.

For starters you shouldn't even really be playing CoD to begin with. Technically speaking with the rating your parents shouldn't of got you the game or shop keeper shouldn't of let you buy it. Secondly we don't say all X group is whiny. We say we hate ALL WHINY people on FPS/MMO games from under the age of 16. That is a completely different statement to the one you seem to think we are making. Third a lot of your voices do sound squeaky.
Actually most games that have dedicated servers do tend to have a better community as cunts do get banned or are reported to an admin who will watch them when they play and ban them if they do act like twats. I am sure kids(and immature people) play them but at least they are seen and not heard.bjj hero said:

I hate everybody. Sure, maybe kids are more annoying, but at least they have an excuse for being morons. I've never been one to judge someone based on their age. I usually have a lot of other things to judge them by.
They are annoying, bratty and don't seem to learn anything despite the many time you tell em' to...
So there are pretty good reasons not to like them.

Kids in my opinion have gotten worse through the years. They have lost disclipine and respect for others and their getting worse each generation.
Name-calling, whining if they don't get their way, (still seeing that happen here in my high school), beating up other kids, and they are generally the worst players to play with if you go by the stereotype. I have never meet a kid online who was whiny and complaining. But I have heard a few and they are loud in the mic and I just mute them.
I guess the main reason the Escapist dislikes them is because they are whiny and are probably trolls, because they want attention and being a troll is the best way to do that online sadly. and they really don't add to the discussion either.

I don't hate kids, I hate immaturity. Give someone immature a microphone and anonymity through a video game and you have a recipe for disaster.
Now, I've been playing M games since I was a kid, so I can't say kids shouldn't play them without being a hypocrite, but here's an idea: only sell microphones to people over a certain age.
Boom, problem solved. At least over the internet.

This is a stereotyping thread. I'm 14, and I don't scream that everybody who kills me in first-person shooters is an asshole, I don't use profanity directed towards people to their face unless I've been targeted by it first. It doesn't make me feel "big," or anything, but it's a nice vent when you've just been cursed out, because it basically lets me say, "yes, everybody knows how to curse so shut up and play the freakin game." I've played in several different guilds across several different games, and most of the guild was in a 17-25 age group. Did I still carry on a mature conversation with them? Yes. Did they notice I was my age until I told them? No. The three situations I will use profanity in are retaliation, as I said before, to show them that putting together a simple four or five letters isn't some ability exclusive to them. The other is cursing an inanimate object in frustration, (Fucking demon killed me 30 times) or something like that. This is just for venting, because I can't honestly come up with a stinging insult for something that has no perrsonality or history. The last is when I'm talking to my friends, I'll say something like "this asshole was spawn camping AND teabagging today," but I'll never give his name, and again, not intended to offend the person, as they cannot hear it and I like to be able to vent. Saying "all kids are chipmunk-voice losers that fire off the word fuck like a machine gun," is a stereotype. That's equivilant of saying "all black people should be in jail because they all steal things and shoot people." More of us are mature than you give us credit for, because you only notice the ones that annoy you. I'm sure you play with more kids than you think. Those people without mics? The one that played legit, didn't camp, and didn't whine about losing by sending you hate mail? That was probably a kid. You notice the ones that annoy you because you expect them to be more respectful.
"It's a hate towards the image gamer kids give towards the entire gamer audience."
(New to the forums, don't know how to quote.)I'm pretty sure we do less damage than you do. When the gamer sterotypes come around, people generally think of a fat 30 year old man sitting in his mother's basement playing games all day, breaking only to LARP. Bit of a difference between 14 and 30. Not so much 25 and 30. The "mature adults," do the image a bit more damage than we do. It's even expected for a guy to have at least one video game in his teens or preteens. Not so much as you get older. Sure, I think adults can play games. They've got better developed reflexes and their sense of time is diferent from being alive longer, so they can grind longer and respond faster. That mean they'll probably be better. But really, don't look down on us so much. It's rude, and blaming stereotypes on an age group is hipocritical because that is a stereotype on its own. That's not wxactly "mature," now is it?

Look at what your friends and classmates like: Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga and the new nickolodean and Cartoon Network, Call of Duty, and D&D 4.0. Your new group represents everything that my group HATES about this world, and that is that most of what we loved and cherished when we were your age is being replaced by things of far less substance and far more stupidity. So it isn't kids we hate, just what you signify, which is the death of all things we love and cherish.
Also, there will always be outliers, but as a rule, your age group is incredibly immature. There may have been nice German soldiers during Nazi rule, but it doesn't mean we didn't lump them is with the rest of 'em. and yes, Goodwin's Law....

im ok with kids EXCEPT the whiny little brats who think there better than everyone else which i personaly think is most of them. for example there is a small girl who swears at random strangers in the street, the little boy who told e to "move, peasant" as i stepped to the side of the road (he died(got kicked in his tiny face)) and the 4-10 year olds that sprint around restraunts screaming. i hate those kind of kids and honestly wouldnt you too?
The above is how I was as a 14 year old gamer, yet due to my lack of wanting to talk on the internet using my own voice, I just hunted the little buggers down in game and shamed them into shutting up. More often than not this made them think I was spawn camping, even when I wasn't, I actively hunted them down by mowing down the other team and running after the player who annoyed me.BloodySpearz said:
