Exactly. The power of bad ideas can only be lessened by the expression of better ones. If we start going down a path of censorship, then what other ideas will get restricted as unacceptable for children? Maybe religion, free market economics, and so on. It’s up to parents to raise their children and teens and exercise some control on what comes into the house, whether that’s entertainment or anything else.

Not a very good argument. The games already have ratings and purchase restrictions. We also have ratings and restricdtions for movies.

The ratings and restrictions on video games and movies are both completely voluntary, industry-adopted standards, not enforced by the government. There is no law on the books that says they must rate them, or that it is illegal to sell material with any rating to someone of any age. The only laws that might apply are on the order of “contributing to the delinquency of a minor”, which aren’t related to the content, but the effect it might have.
