When I was 11 I started playing the fallout franchise so stop complaining and let this mom continue being a great mom.

Our parents were heros for things like fixing a bike and we get to be heros for heping them get through tuff bits on games! :)

Jesus people it's just a videogame. Goddamn let people raise their kids without acting like you're a saint when you disagree

Don't worry, he learns about world war 2 in like a year anyways.
CaptainGregarious
Nice. Also, parents (as long as they're actively involved in their children's lives) know what kind of things their kids can handle.
MyBosswouldbedissapointed
Yeah lets completely disregard that "M" rating. All those drug, sex, post nuclear themes are terrific for an 11 year old to be enthralled by
exponentiallymusical
As if they won't be taught about medicine, puberty, and World War 2 in a year.
MyBosswouldbedissapointed
Are you saying that fallout lore and whats provided to students in a middle school text book are comparable? Smh

Hitler took control of a country and led it to believe that killing 6 million people was acceptable because those people were Jewish.

The United States developed and unleashed nuclear weapons that stopped the Japanese, with a culture that shames surrender, in its tracks.
exponentiallymusical
These weapons vaporized every living being within a 5 mile radius, and poisoned the surrounding land with radiation.

fallout 4 is prob not the best game for an 11 year old.
BowToTheKraken
A stable long term relationship and a suportive group of friends? Imagine how much better off i would be without GTA at age 11?
raptorheyzues
What matters is whether or not he enjoy's it. Honestly, there are worse games for him to be playing.
trulyxtreem
true, but also alot better.
Teh4ChanHacker
what matters is that you could improve on your apostrophe-usage.

I, Don't, care,.

My 1.5 year old plays fallout. When I say play I mean largely spin in circles and drop grenades at his feet.

Vs what golden eye, leisure suit Larry, rampage...?
TomasHezan
Shhhhhh...let the armchair warriors think that they are better than everyone else.
jessticular
I think that depends on the 11 year old.
trulyxtreem
or the parenting.
Zetetsu
Pretty sure fallout 4 is better than all the ones that play cod

But then how will I know whose banging my mom?
ColdfreezeZero
You'll know as soon as your mom takes XX360NoScopeProSniperzXx as her last name.

Yep violence and the recreational use if drugs. Good themes for an 11 year old

I grew up playing games like GTA. My Dad grew up in the 70s. Point is that I'll never catch up to him when it comes to recreational drugs.
jessticular
He's pretty mature for his age and I think it's only opening up a very healthy dialogue between us about the reality of drug addiction.

I'm no parent. But, psychologically speaking, there is a helluva lot of brain development to be done for an 11 year old and exposing 1/?
jessticular
Well, may the universe bless you and keep you when you do become a parent. I'll leave the expertise-ing to the experts ;)
TBloom16
That kind of brutal violence and drug abuse can lead to some wonky ideas of morality. Desensitization is a powerful thing 2/2
BowToTheKraken
Yeah, whe i was 11 i played dozens of hours of grand theft auto. I whent on to get an engineering degree. How much lower can i sink, doc?
TBloom16
The exception not the rule. I'm just saying there could be some danger posed psychologically. They have ratings for a reason.

No.
