Today, nationally syndicated daytime talk-show host Wendy Williams talked about our open letter from a retail store veteran who sold too many copies of GTA V to uncaring parents, and admitted that she indeed bought a copy for her 13-year-old son.
âThere comes a time when kids look like freaks and weirdos when they donât have if they donât have or do or participate in certain thingsâ said Williams, as one of her guests groaned audibly.
As a single, childless man who grew up pleading my parents to buy me violent games, Iâm in no place to tell anybody how to raise their kids. I will say this though â you should be completely aware of what any game you buy for your kid contains. If you are fine with your kid playing scenes like this (spoiler warning), and youâve had a thorough discussion about the content of the game with your husband and son, that is your decision to make.
One of Wendyâs guests, Tami Roman, called her out â saying that she was undermining other parents, and that while itâs great to be the cool kid, sometimes âYouâre not always gonna have what you want, and that is how I parent. It is what it is.â
Also, Wendy, no mention of our site? Throw us a bone! Itâs pronounced âKo-Tah-Kooâ, if youâre having any trouble.
