Was there something you didn't agree with? | Consuming Kids Discussion | Forum

Just wondering. Since the movie last a good while and covers many things.

I can only recall the video game thing, showing for the documentary several violent parts that are for games clearly rated 'M', and thus not directly marketing towards them, even if after they explain that they still try to attract the kids, I think they could have landed very well the worrying point of the many games being now just Teen and not Mature, the way the handled it with the movies equivalent – that Spiderman 2 scenes of explosion and death was a clear example – instead of imply violence is what the videogames nowadays are all about.

I am also aware that perhaps as an avid videogamer I may been defensive while watching and I took that the wrong way. But basically it is the same situation. I have seen 'learning' videogames with 'early Childhood' and Nickelodeon's cartoons characters having their own games, so no doubt games count into the gadgets they want to induce from younger ages.

Anyway, since we are all different, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Was there something in the film you didn't agree with?
