You cannot speak for everyone however. When I was a child, I played Pokemon, just like every other child out there. This whole "play games where you chainsaw peoples faces off when you are below the PEGI rating" is a generally new concept. And people don't put these things in place for no reason. It is wrong to expect a child to hold the responsibilities of an adult. In this case, the responsibility to see what is morally correct and which actions you have seen are unacceptable.

I've met grown adults who cannot be held responsible for their own actions, I personally would not allow my child to be held with the same responsibility as said people, unless I can fully trust that my child can take said responsibility.

Regardless, they are your parents, they aren't doing this to irritate you. If you want to believe that they are being overprotective, then you are welcome to believe that, but don't think for one second that everything they do is planned to ruin your day.
