/vr/ - Retro Games

As you get older, do you find yourself sympathizing with the moral guardians of the past?
Some time ago I was listening to an episode of Retronauts about Mortal Kombat. When they got to talking about the moral outrage over the game, the hosts, a bunch of childless 40 years mocked it just like I would have when I was 9 years old.
But on the other hand, it sort of hit me as I have kids of my own - were the parental reactions THAT unreasonable? Games were evolving incredibly quick -we went from Pac Man to MK in a decade. Shouldn't you have concerns about the media ecosystem that your kids partake in? I have kids and I feel like you really have to have an eye on the stuff your kids consume, especially nowadays. I mean I turned out fine so maybe I shouldn't be concerned with this shit.
