last night i was playing among us and one person said āhow old is everyone im 11ā³ and someone replied āim 14ā³.
iām also a teacher, and a lot of my students are getting into among us because their favorite youtubers are starting to play it. 3 of my 9 year old students were raving to me about it yesterday and bragging about how good they are at being impostor.
@ everyone who plays among us, make sure when you play public games, you keep in mind that young children could be in the game and mind what you say!
Children that young shouldnāt be playing public games. Itās just not a good idea.
okay but regardless of what you thinkĀ āshouldā be the case, they are. children ARE playing public games and theyāre not stopping anytime soon. donāt be weird in public games.
Except red is right- kids that are 7, 8, 9, they shouldnāt be on these games without parental supervision. It doesnāt matter how tame the game itself is; if itās a game that has other people that join there will always be a risk, a pretty high one, of that kid hearing or learning something theyāve no reason to hear at that age. That isnāt on the game, the kid, or even the other players, itās on the parents.
no, IT IS ON OTHER PLAYERS to make sure they arenāt spouting weird sexual shit when you KNOW children are on the platform! it doesnāt matter if children SHOULDNāT be there, they are! if you spout inappropriate things on a platform where you know children are listening youāre disgusting! all adults have a responsibility to protect all children no matter what.
If you look at the age rating for it on the app page, youāll see that it says 9+.
This wasnāt a mistake, it was made with children playing it in mind and yāall need to recognize that.
A game that was made with children playing it in mind shouldnāt have people spouting slurs in chat, or people having sexual or political usernames.
Iāve played in public games where some of the ppl admitted to be as young as 10 in chat and not even two minutes later, someone says the n word. Itās not the childās fault, itās yours. I donāt care if itās a public game, you need to behave yourself. Yes parents should look at what their children are playing but itās literally out of the parents hands about what ppl say on there apart from enabling the censor chat function.
You need to do better, not the 10 year old who wants to play a game with such a low age rating. Donāt tell children not to play a game that was made for them because some of yāall canāt keep your mouth shut.
If you are an adult u are expected to act like one esp around children. Iām tired of ppl who either have never been around kids or just donāt care act like kids shouldnāt be allowed to play or go on anything
Doesnāt pretty much everything out there online require you to be 13 to sign up?
I know kids lie about their ages and stuff to access stuff they shouldnāt, but thatās really on the patents for not supervising their kids.
Yāall out here acting like your public parks donāt have shithead teenagers yelling all kinds of offensive stuff within earshot of the playground until the parents of the younger kids chase them away. Kids will hear this shit.
Itās 100% on the parents to participate in their kids lives and talk to them about things they hear.
