"Not much different than what you see on the internet everyday"


An Australian based game reviewer has recently been sued for defamation because sexually harassing comments were left on her video and she tried to talk to the commenters. One of the boys claimed that his "threats" were meerly jokes and "not much different than what you see on the internet everyday".

Besides the disrespectful way that the boys' parents are handling their children's behavior, the boy's response sheds light on how much today's youth has been desensitized to violent acts like sexual assault.

Unfortunately this is not the only incident where young kids have thought that comments and behavior like this is acceptable, therefore it should become more of a priority to make sure what we are portraying as acceptable in the media is something we want our kids learning.
