last night i was playing among us and one person said “how old is everyone im 11″ and someone replied “im 14″.
i’m 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 shouldn’t be playing public games. It’s just not a good idea.
okay but regardless of what you think “should” be the case, they are. children ARE playing public games and they’re not stopping anytime soon. don’t be weird in public games.
Except red is right- kids that are 7, 8, 9, they shouldn’t be on these games without parental supervision. It doesn’t matter how tame the game itself is; if it’s 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 they’ve no reason to hear at that age. That isn’t on the game, the kid, or even the other players, it’s on the parents.
no, IT IS ON OTHER PLAYERS to make sure they aren’t spouting weird sexual shit when you KNOW children are on the platform! it doesn’t matter if children SHOULDN’T be there, they are! if you spout inappropriate things on a platform where you know children are listening you’re 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, you’ll see that it says 9+.
This wasn’t a mistake, it was made with children playing it in mind and y’all need to recognize that.
A game that was made with children playing it in mind shouldn’t have people spouting slurs in chat, or people having sexual or political usernames.
I’ve 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. It’s not the child’s fault, it’s yours. I don’t care if it’s a public game, you need to behave yourself. Yes parents should look at what their children are playing but it’s 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. Don’t tell children not to play a game that was made for them because some of y’all can’t keep your mouth shut.
If you are an adult u are expected to act like one esp around children. I’m tired of ppl who either have never been around kids or just don’t care act like kids shouldn’t be allowed to play or go on anything
Doesn’t 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 shouldn’t, but that’s really on the patents for not supervising their kids.
Y’all out here acting like your public parks don’t 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.
It’s 100% on the parents to participate in their kids lives and talk to them about things they hear.
