I get so ticked off when I see people freak out about the children coming in contact with game stuff. Even when they're not massive homophobes -- like, if they go nuts about video game violence.
GAMES ARE NOT ONLY FOR CHILDREN. This game in particular was made for adults, so going all "waah what about the children" in relation to it is like going "waah what about the children" in relation to an R-rated movie.
Also, anyone who lets their child play an MMO is exposing them to: racism, misogyny, homophobia, fraud, bad language (both swearing and atrocious grammar), anti-everything bigotry, rape jokes, and people who think it's cool to insult anyone who doesn't play a game the way they think it *must* be played.
