This is a quite a bit of handwringing over what is probably nothing:
- Kids have been playing war, battle, or fighting games during recess since recess started. I guarantee you can spend 1 recess at any school and see at least one set of kids playing some game which is fundamentally violent fantasy.
- As far as exposure - no offense but we are so far off kids never seeing violent imagery.
- But, most importantly, these are also likely a sourced by handful of kids who are teaching other kids to play it that way. That’s what kids do. I can think of several personal memories of my experience in elementary school where “Kid X” taught me something that, in retrospect, that kid probably shouldn’t know yet. The spread of knowledge in children is immensely effective.
