Okay, so I was playing a demo of Uncharted 2 that I had downloaded, since I heard it was a good series. My dad walked by, saw that there were guns, and told me I should not be playing it. This is a game I have a RIGHT to play. It's rated T!
I tried to ask my parents why I couldn't play it, but my dad just said I couldn't play any games involving guns. I don't get it. What's so bad? It's not like playing games is going to make me a criminal! He even called the game gory, when I didn't even see any blood!
Everyone I know is allowed to play whatever they want. I've always wanted to try games like Assassin's Creed and Skyrim, but my parents would never let me play anything M-rated. But no one else's parents give a $hit! Heck, my little brother's 8 and 9 year old friends play Call of Duty.
How can I convince my parents that I should be allowed to play whatever I want, or at the very least, T-rated games that may happen to involve guns (like Uncharted)?
My parents said that they control what I play since I live in their house. But if when I turn 17 and I'm legally allowed to buy any game, and they still get mad at me for playing it, that will be even more insane. My parents aren't even that strict, I don't know why they're like this about games.
