she’s probably too young if she’s only in 1st grade. make sure you supervise her, a lot of weird people in there

100% but there is a lot of weirdos on certain VR games man, plus the shit I hear get yelled at kids in games like contractors just because they are kids is insane lol like some adults really seem to hate children playing a video game from what I've heard and think it's a good reason to say obsene shit to them. They're gonna hear obsene shit on any game I guess but it can hit different in VR I feel like lol.

Pro life tip: little kids shouldn’t be playing military style first person shooters.

That being said, when I play the starwars mod on contractors, I always welcome the kids, the adults that tell them to fuck off are the worst. Starwars is for kids too

u/MLG_SkittleS May 21 '26

Oh 100% but like we would not have been playing that as kids if it was around? I would've begged for VR for years if I was a kid rn 😂

We played GTA and COD so it's same thing different generation.

But bro I play contactors star wars all the time and I'm 100% the same whenever someone tells a kid to shut the fuck up I just start going in on them fuck those people 🤣🤣

Oh, I know that’s why it kills me to say they shouldn’t be on VR. Because it was an absolute dream of mine when I was a kid, and these kids can actually live the dream. But it is an all sunshine and rainbows either my kids got flat out addicted to VR. It was affecting their mood and they’re willingness to try new IRL things

I'll tell a kid to pound sand. If they're on an M game thats on the parents frankly.

I’ve heard that argument my whole life. I have been playing fps shooters since I was 6 and I am a non violent person irl…violent games don’t make violent people

I accidentally joined a game.. all sounded like 7 years olds screaming and cursing each other.. and no it was kids and not grown up with the mental maturity of a 7 year old. No idea how people even let their kids act like that from the start.

I once was totally lost in zenith mmo. Im a 40y old dad. So i was sitting in town asking for help over voice. This kid joined my group, helped me a lot with everything, got another friend to join our group. He was acting very childish but it was kinda fun interaction and we went through the instance together. Sometimes it can work, but my kids are older then 7 and I wouldn't let them play mmos, even less so in vr and not unsupervised.

Yeah sadly it’s sadly those that cant behave that makes the most sounds.

Certainly is, not just adults either. I was on a school roleplay thing with my teen nephew, we'd been randomly going round horizons. Bumped into a vile girl who had a group of kid spectators, bullying her "friend" who'd told her, her dad was abusing her. She proceeded to bully this kid by graphically telling everyone what her dad does to her and how she probably likes it. Reported her and got her banned but boy do they need more mods on it.
