Hi Grace! Love your avatar. I get it and agree with you.
However, I'm not saying curse words should be allowed. I'm totally fine with an actual curse word coming out as Arrrr.
It's the harmless other things, jokes, and phrases. I recently found out the word grass (no, really, just grass, no other nickname) isn't allowed, when referencing alcohol in the game is totally A Okay.
I just think there could be a better way to deal with this possible scenario. A warning before playing the game, stating it's rated PG13. Or a special two chat system, one for children and one for adults. The over-protective mom would see this rating and take note. She would also make him play in the kids chat. You can't really get mad at a game that specifically puts rules/warnings in place, after all, the movies are PG13. In this scenario, the over-protective mom would get mad at Little Johnny, not the game, if he were to venture into the adults chat, or play a game that wasn't G.
Our game developers are seriously talented people (their skill goes way above my head, and I'm sure they'll all go on to develop perhaps their own games in the future), I'm sure they could figure out an entirely new two chat system that would please everybody.
I used to play a game that had two chats. One for 18 and under, and one for 18 and up. It worked. And even though you still couldn't say outright curse words or hurtful things (as you shouldn't do anyway, bullying is not okay in any chat) in adult chat, but you could say funny jokes and have adult humor.
I think it's the adult humor that I'm getting at the most. I want to make friends and interact with them without sounding like I'm a robot. I want to joke and laugh and sail. The Pirates movies has a lot of adult humor. If it didn't, the franchise wouldn't have so many adult fans.
This has probably been talked about to death so I apologize.
