I dunno... That seems a like disingenuous to make a game specifically for kids and then take no responsibility for what children are exposed to on said game. I'm all for parents taking responsibility and believe that's a problem with many families today, but that just seems a shitty thing for him to say, IMHO.

Neo lib western ideals have toxic "personal responsibility" as a virtue.

Everything is your own fault, there are no external influences, pull yourself up by your bootstraps....

OH WAIT! Did my friends multi billion dollar company make many stupid decisions that will cost potentially everything? Better bail them out with the the publics money and tell everyone to not buy fancy things, like a TV or fridge, if they want to get survive.
