Yeah... It's annoying to hear some kids, that are like 6-10 years old playing. They trash talk and cuss like sailors. I'm 44. I play, and my 12 year old son plays (under a different gamertag). He's responsible, has a deep voice, and doesn't trash-talk or curse. He's better at ignoring those kids than me. I get royally p*ssed when I hear these little kids calling me out and a b*tch and all... Lots of time I laugh at it, but it is really annoying. I wonder where their parents or older siblings are... Some of these kids have a LOT of issues! I was never so angry at that age. Most of the time, I believe it's the courage of anonymity. If they had to answer to somebody, I think it would be a different story. However, here we are basically training little kids to shoot guns, hunt, and murder, and we facilitate it with anger. My son know's it's a game, and to him it's harmless, but these younger kids have no social training at all. It's really sad.
However, it's usually a pleasure playing with kids over 14 or 17. Wow, that was well said. I completely agree with you and it probably is a thrill to them being able to anger strangers with no repercussions.
