1. A cool game comes out. 2. I love to play the game with my adult friends. 3. as the game gets more mainstream attention, more and more kids join in. 4. I have to moderate myself because some stupid parent determined that it's now a "kids" game and everyone should cater to their crotchrats.

Why does this keep happening to all games i like?

I know minecraft might be an extreme example because it has simple graphics and no violence but it happens even on VR Military Shooters.

No. just be a decent parent and don't assume that the internet is a free daycare.

Sorry, i just hate this "its a game tho it's obviously meant for kids" attitude

I'm sorry, but I can't imagine being this upset at children. If I'm at a bar and I see a kid walk in, yes I will act differently because they are in earshot. It doesn't matter that the child is in an adult space.

"Well I was here first" is such an immature dismissal of acknowledging how your community is changing.

A more apt comparison would be you enjoying a drink in your own home (your server) and then because kids starting playing outside you'd be banned from your home for drinking there. Forever.
