It's not the age that matters it's the person. Agism, like racism is a type of stereotyping that is displayed by ignorant people.Nice response that's what I was going to say. I'm 18 now and dont play games as much as I used to, but when I was younger and actually had the time to play games all I wanted to, I used to play counter-strike 1.6 quite alot. I used to actually be pretty decent, participated in CAL and such, but the point is, just because I was young didn't make me bad or annoying. The fact is, is that when I was 13, 14, and 15, I was usually "owning" people who were much older than I was, usually 18 and above, and they would become mad and attempt to make fun of me by commenting on how young I was and how my voice sounded. Now to me, when an 18 year old or older tries to make fun of a young child over the internet for killing him in a video game I believe that the "adult" is the much more annoying and childlike of the two. By simply stating that younger kids are annyoing, (being 18 I still consider myself a kid, I go to school, live with my parents, sounds like a kid to me), is simply a very stereotypical and hypocritcal thing to say because it all depends on the individual. Just because a person is 18 doesn't make them an adult, just as being a younger child doesn't make them annoying.
Not to mention, many of the so called "adults" as they refer to themselves, say things such as, kids should not be allowed to play Mature rated game have to be some of the most hypocritcal people ever, I'm sure you rewind a few years and make the people that say those things young children again, I doubt they were saying things like, yea!, because I'm not 18, I shouldn't be allowed to play M rated games, lol please, more than likely they were the ones saying, OHH but mom, I'm old enough to play a game with guns and blood in it, I swear.
Lol, all I'm saying is, judge by the individual, not the group.
We say and do a lot of things when we were younger that differs from what we believe as adults. It's called experience, wisdom, maturity. The problem with younger people is they are more likely to be less mature than an older counter part. It's not their fault, it's simply that they have had less life experiences and are probably unaware of the impact of their behavior. When I look back, I realize that I was probably unnecessarily defiant, obnoxious, annoying and immature at times even though I usually was far more mature than my age. I was still a kid none the less. And I was blind to the bigger picture in life.
Plus I'm not a huge fan of their voices, call it discrimination if you like, high pitched voices are just....irritating sometimes.Â
