Kid's angry father yells at me for swearing on XBL!!!

I was playing GeOW2 last night and I was on a team with a father and son. The son was apparently very young...like less than 10 years old. Like usual.. i dropped a few F-bombs because the other team was glitching and all of a sudden this guy tells me to watch my language because there's a little kid playing.

I ask if they are brothers but he said they are father and son and he said there is no need to swear that much. I apologized for swearing in front of his kid but I told him that it is an M rated game and that he shouldn't let his son play any game online because he'll hear a lot worse than what I said. He replies that everyone has a right to play games and that was the end of it.

I felt a little bad about it but all in all I think this guy should know better.

Yeah, and don't all online games give the "Online Interactions are not rated by the ESRB" warning(or something like that?)

The father should have realized if the game is rated M, that most people playing it would be M(ature) and that he can't control the entire XBL population.

Just my opinion though.

its an M-rated game. a kid that young shoulden't be playing it anyways. whats the worst the father could do if you told him to **** off, this is an M-rated game...stop being a bad parent and letting your child play big boy games.darkspineslayer

Youre both at fault. You shouldnt be cursing, and he shouldnt let his 10 year old son play a game aimed for a 17+ audiance.Morning_Revival

Did you stop swearing after you found out a child was in the game? Don't get me wrong, if it's all adults I'll swear like a drunken sailor, If kids are in the game I don't. There are other ways of expressing yourself, after all.getyeryayasout

I would've done the same thing. Besides, he's 10 years old, how good could he be? Dropping the F Bombs would've made him leave faster.

The Dad is obviously a moron, he's probably divorced and taking care of his kid for the weekend. Instead of not playing video games for a weekend he probably just had the kid play too so that he was "interacting" with his kid, pathetic.mmallory
