There is a difference between educating your child and glorifying those things.
Rewarding them for beating the same prostitute that just 2 minutes before they drove across town to protect isn't educating a child.
Or getting in trouble just to get that really good FBI Enforcer for you garage...
Sure kids aren't going to do it in real life, but I'm willing to bet you're white and grew up with married parents in a middle class neighborhood.
What about the kids for whom C.J. and Tommy Vercetti are actual heroes and role models?
The ratings on those games are there not because they think kids don't know about sex and violence. They are there because a 7 year old doesn't understand sex and violence.
At 7, you can learn where babies come from. But how do you understand the emotional aspects of sex? The physical enjoyment of it? The consequence of unprotected sex?
As a parent, I feel it's my responsibility for my child to understand all of those things... to educate them when they are actually old enough to understand... before I let them see those things as vulgar entertainment.
