Topic: Why are Online shooters kid infested?

What is this?

Because all there friends aree doing it, and all the high schoolers are, so they do to, and also learn how toi swear their heads off.

I wouldn't say they are infested with kids, more so the stereotype that everybody on the Internet who is immature is physically kids. Most times it's adults acting and some times sounding like kids if they are gutsy to use the mic. With that said, I guess it serves as the best outlet for their insecurities, especially when everybody plays these types of games online often.

FYI, even though I'm an adult male with what I believe is a masculine voice, I sound like a kid or other gender on the phone and mic. So believe half of what you hear.

Cause they want to prove themselves too someone by saying your mom this, you suck,i did your mom,i have a bigger thing than you and your gay.Cause i been hearing kids say these things so many times, it gets annoying.But it is funny when you destroy the kid in anything and they get madder than the holy hell of the sun.

the kids are infested?
back in elementary the nurse used to check peoples hair for lice and stuff or do you mean bed bugs?
bed bugs are hot these days, just like online shooters so i can see how this ties together

It probably is quite a bit of the "I wanna be a big boy" mentality, which exists at the very least in one of my cousins. He has tried countless times to try and establish himself as a "big kid", from refusing to eat Honey Mustard because it's "for babies" (his actual words) to saying he was closer in age to me (I was older than he currently is when I was born iirc) than his sister (who was born two or three years later). As others have also said, conformity has probably also been responsible. Shooters are also fairly simple, as long as there is no kind of need for teamwork or an extensive learning curve (just "Point and Shoot" shooters). A platformers require some thought and problem solving, meanwhile, as long as your pulling the trigger with something in the crosshairs, you're going to have some degree of success in a shooter. By no means am I saying that shooters lack depth, but it comes far more from the mental element or teamwork that a shooter has significant depth.

Surprisingly enough not a lot of people said parents and older family members, just two weeks ago I was off on vacation and went to NJ to visit my cousins family in my cousins family the youngest is eleven, and he was really sweet, quiet and nice when he was around his brothers and parents, that afternoon they went out to go food shopping and I was stuck with the eleven year old, I went into the bathroom, came back and saw him on his brothers account playing COD and cursing out in the chat I, parenting is the issue too

It's definitely lack of diligence on the parents part, my parents are pretty accepting of me playing certain titles rated above my ESRB bracket age, but only if they know exactly what's in the game.

Too many kids know how to bypass restrictions put in place by Parental Controls by looking up ways to do so online. More often than not, the parents simply don't even put up the restrictions on the console/device.

More parents need to educate themselves on what exactly their children are doing with the electronics they own.

That's a teenagers view, anyway.

If the kids want to prove how grown-up they are, why aren't they doing chores and paying the bills?

Well, one of my 8 year old cousins stated the wii u was a babies console. He owns strictly 18+ games (same goes for my 11 year old brother). And he also plays minecraft. Answer to this question? Ignorant parents and following the hype train for popular games.

Because kids think stuff like that is cool, but primarily it's lazy parents who don't do their job. My co-worker barely found out about her kid playing online, he was getting yelled at by people online. Apparently they were mad that her kid had a swastika icon or something because he thought it was cool (but he didn't know what it meant). Also the kid is part German needles to say after she found out she's not letting her 8 yr old play COD online anymore.
