Some of you may be aware of a new zombie game coming out called Dead Island. I've been a fan of zombie games for a while now and I am aware of its incredible violence. Techland, the producers of Dead Island released a teaser trailer a few days ago. It's the violence and the disturbing thing that happens in this teaser trailer that disturbs me. Before I go on about it too much more here's a link:

Assuming that you watched it... Ummm... Yeah...
A f*cking little girl? Really? I understand it's just a video game, but my God. Does she have to turn into a zombie and then get thrown out a window? I understand that sh*t like this happens in movies but it's kind of ridiculous. I'm not usually this kind of person to get pissed over video game violence. The thing is, that kids are 1. Too scared to go to a rated R movie, unless it's just comedy or 2. Their parents won't allow them. But for some reason, in video games parents are like "Oh look a rated M zombie game. Here ya' go Jimmy!" The thing that scares me the most, is kids like violence. They think that the more violence there is, the better. I know this doesn't go for all kids, some are quite mature for their age but most kids 14 or under aren't. Now if you've had any experience with youtube and have ever read the comment section on a popular video, you know that the average age of a youtuber is like 12... I've been reading the comments on some of these videos for the Dead Island Trailer and kids are excited about this! One even said "lol im glad they're showing wat would probably happen in an actual zombie apocalypse"
And kids think this because of all the violence in media and entertainment. Kids are knowing about sex at the age of 8. 13 year olds are getting pregnant! Why? Because of T.V. shows and movies and stupid parents allowing them to watch it! Now, they're showing little girl getting killed by zombies in VIDEO GAMES! Great! Now I know that any kid who isn't semi-reatrded would kill a little girl or something, butI just hate that this generation is getting exposed to so much violence. And I'm not even in my 30's. I'm 22 and I think this. Now I wouldn't have a problem with this if parents wouldn't allow them to play this. I don't care if teenagers do, because at that point they are definitely mature enough.
God, I'm more worked up about this than the slaughtering of the citizens in the airport in MW2. Maybe I'm over-reacting, but what is your opinion on this?
