Remember when Zelda had the swatsticka as a dungeon layout?This is in a Kirby game:
Granted it's not exactly easy to notice without looking at the full level layout
Still dunno how it slipped by, honestly

Unexpected inappropriate moments in "child friendly" games
- Thread starter Genetrik
- Start date
There is a ton of middle ground between being "sheltered" and allowing a 5 year old to watch Mortal Kombat or other M rated games. I have a 6 year old and don't play M rated games or watch R rated movies when he is in the room. If that is "sheltering" him, then so be it.
Someone earlier in the thread saw fit to spoiler-tag this, but welp.
The Babs sub-story in Dragon Quest Builders 2 is an odd inclusion for an E10+ game. (And just inappropriate in general.)
Oh I thought you were denying the blocks being placed intentionally, carry on.
Well... the very next chapter has you burying corpses multiple times.
DQB2's tone jumps all over the place sometimes
Man, Thieves in Time is just so tonally out of touch with the franchise in so many ways. I completely forgot about that part but yeah, that sucked too. Sanzaru is a D- tier company.
TLDR: A Devteam went wild when WB Games asked for their WiiU Shovelware party game to include a Story mode and they signed off on it.
The whole tweet thread is here:
Letting a 5 year old watch Stranger Things and play Mortal Kombat is just bad parenting. Also why would anyone think that a 5 year old would even understand a show like Stranger Things. Lol acting like it's fine because he is ok is some stupid logic. First of all stuff like that might affect him later and also you don't know that he is going to be fine. So you risk his well being for entertainment.
Some people should not have kids, you included. Insane to actually think that it's ok to let a 5 year old watch Stranger Things and play Mortal Kombat.

I don't think that's at all inappropriate, but the Twitter story is pretty great, so thanks for sharing.
I don't have kids thanks, a nephew is when your brother or sister has a child. I am an Uncle, not a Father.
Complex, I know.
Frankly you sound the type to not have children because you'll riddle them with neuroses.
Okay, now I don't understand. Is there a hidden meaning with their names?
I had to urbandictionary those two names. Apparently "designated ugly fat friend" and an "intelligent girl."
So uh... there we go? I don't get it either.
Could easily be taken as Muff Eater, or duff as Designated Ugly Fat Friend.
I thought it meant vag, but I double checked it and Duff = butt, so Duff Eda = Ass eater.
I never said you had kids. I said you should never have them. You clearly have no idea what good parenting is.
But frankly you sound like a miserable person. I feel sorry for you.
😂🤣 I'm so glad i read that thread!

Talking to your dad in Mother/Earthbound Beginnings

Coincidentally, Totoro and it were released as a double feature in Japan!
lol you are definitely one of those guys that misinterprets Mad Men and thinks Don Draper is cool...
That second video with the Knack sequence isn't inappropriate in the slightest. You're right OP, all parents have different standards, and I'll be honest here and say that I don't really shelter my daughter from violence, but what was inappropriate about the second video? Noone seemed to get hurt, one side ran into the forest while the humans just remain on that wall they were on. Was it the mere fact that a weapon was shown being fired? Seems a bit.....overboard for me, in terms of considering that inappropriate, but that's just my opinion.
Yeah, inappropriate was a stretch but I guess stealth theming your shovelware minigame collection to be about a pretty real thing that could upset kids/parents who bought it for them kinda fits.
In reality I just wanted to share the thread because it's so bonkers :P
keep it on topic. you can take your little kiss fest to pms if you're interested in continuing baseless accusations about a random internet person.
And for those who don't know, pigeon milk is a secretion formed in the throats of pigeons and doves that they regurgitate to feed their young. So yeah, Brewster's throwing up throat slime into your coffee.that just reminded me....
I see we've reached the part of the thread where some dipshit who doesn't have kids starts yelling about how they "should never be parents."
One of these days I want to see a game have a one shot weapon that shoots "cutscene bullets."
You've really set everyone straight with all this great parenting advice. Hold your head high. This thread really needed this tangent.
Yeah, the Babs thing is probably the most tame thing in the game compared to what comes later.
I mean you have to rescue your friend in a very bleak hellscape with "sanguine cinders" while swimming through "plasma" to pluck old eye balls
I mean I thought Moonbrooke and Skullkatraz were pretty dour but I wasn't expecting Malhalla. That's a real, "You know... FOR KIDS" moment of I ever saw one. How they got away with fooling the ESRB with an E10+ rating is beyond me.
The over abundance of bat cleavage probably. I'm sure that birthed thousands of gen z/millenial furries
Core Design before creating Tomb Raider, turned a child friendly arcade port into an X-rated one, via an easter-egg that was discovered 30 years later

Yeap, the big N is particularly vicious with this stuff XD
I dunno about T rated games. I think they should be expected to have that extra bit of spice to them. Hence why Ratchet & Clank on PS2 for example should not be unexpected.
Ratchet & Clank on PS4 was E Rated and the lack of such off color material was notable.
The old rating of K-A definitely was pretty vague, though. It was like the old PG rating before 13. I mean, Crash Bandicoot was K-A before the E and T ratings were established and they ceratainly weren't without inappropriate material. It probably would have been T if released later.
