. . . I had a soap box once. ..

In all seriousness, I understand where you're coming from on that, Alexandros. I wouldn't say it's the majority of parents that take the uncarring approach, in my opinion it's more about uninformed. Even in our age of technology and information, parents choose to not dig for the knowledge. If we, as a community, do our part to make said knowledge easily accessible, then we can rest easy knowing that there's no digging required. All they'll have to do is hop on google and find us. Easy as pie.

As for more parents that care, I think a lot of parents are realizing that the ESRB ratings - I can't speak for PEGI - are a bit of a joke sometimes. Why rate something M is their kids can see some of the same motifs on Cartoon Network? It's a matter of not trusting the flat rating with a few descriptive words behind it, so giving a better and broader understanding of a game and its content should inherently help with that. I just hope that more media outlets pick up something like this, as well.
