[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7406446, member: 6796661"] Music is a good comparison actually. There is a lot of gangster rap that I like. I may not like the anti-cop and misogynist language in a lot of it, but I think there can be value in art representing awful things. I also like blues. Listen to Blind Wille McTell's "A to Z Blues" (the 1920s / 1930s) and "Shave 'Em Dry" by Lucille Bogan (1933) to see that there have always been artists to use shocking themes in their art. But I don't let my kids listen to this yet. I'll let them use certain pop streams that will occasionally have some cussing, though my wife will often make them change the "channel" to something more sanitized. There is, however, music, movies, and other entertainment that I prefer to control their exposure to until they are more mature. Some of my content-gate decisions are based on age and common mores and others are based on what I know about my kids individual personalities and maturity levels. As others have said in this discussion, it is a parent's responsibility. But I appreciate it when content distributors help. That's why I appreciate ratings and movies and music. If a movie is PG-13, I may read some reviews before deciding whether to let my kids see it, but I probably would not bother with a rated G movie. And, you know, DnD Beyond is PG 13 (you have to be 13 to have an account). I could see the same joke being made in a PG 13 movie. Well, it might make some parents upset, but if you feel that a joke like this is too much but that watching kids kill each other in the Hunger Games is a-okay, you may need to revisit your priorities. If I see a PG 13 rating, I'm likely going to read up on it before allowing my kids to see it and maybe decide to not allow them to see it. I should have thought more about that when allowing my son to create an account. I'm not going not allow him to use DnD Beyond of this, but it was a reminder that I may need to pay attention to the content posted to the site. [/QUOTE]
