Earlier today I ran into a video of some dude playing Blackout in BO4 with his 5-year old daughter, and the comments were filled to the brim with "bad parent", "she'll turn into a psycho", "it would've been fine if it was Mario or something" type of stuff.
Personally, my introduction to gaming was standing on my dad's legs as a toddler while he played Age of Empires, Civ II... By age 3 I was already doing unspeakable things to the AoE AI and asking my dad to tell me the gruesome details about medieval warfare... I dominated every strategy game my dad had before I learnt how to read. It wasn't until I was 6 that we got internet and I could play Flash Player games, and I was 8 when my parents got me a knock-off Famicom and I could finally play Mario and all the other "kid-friendly" console games of the time.
I left my home when I turned 18 and never looked back, I hated my parents as a teen and I still hate them now. They're horrible people. But had my dad never gotten me into videogames at such a young age I probably would've struggled a lot more coping with their shitty parenting.
I really thought society had gotten over the "violent games bad" thing...
