Some parents want to shelter their kids from violence for various reasons. "Because violence is mature content" "I don't want them to become desensitized to violence" "Blood and violence can get kind of scary" etc.

Still, though, there are adults who think that every single video game on the planet is for children. There are parents and grandparents who end up shocked by the things game store employees tell them about the games their kids/grandkids are trying to get them to buy.

It's like "Uhhh, you know, there's a reason the rating system includes Teen and Mature, and there's a reason that you have to be at least 18 to buy a Rated M game."

Some parents get thrown off and confused when a game store employee asks for ID.

"Um. Why?"

"That's a Rated M game. I have to make sure you're at least 18."

"??????"
