I’m agnostic on this one. Playing “cowboys and indians” or “army men” has been demonized by libs for the same reason. It’s part of the intentional wimpification of kids, esp boys.
That said, I see little wrong with requiring parental OK or action to by the equivalent of an R-rated interactive movie.
Personally, I’m wondering where the parents are on all this. Why does the gooberment have legislate about movies when parents can just hit the off switch?
