What I'm trying to say here is that, kids should be treated the same in the SC2 community, just as we don't treat girls or other ethnicities with disrespect we shouldn't go out of our way to flame kids who don't know better. Based on this post, if I didn't tell you that I was 13, would you be able to tell? I think a lot of people portray anyone under the age of 16 as someone who doesn't understand grammar, or puts A LOT of ^.^ ;D =) in every sentence. the only way people are going to find out your age is if you wave it around like it matters if you have any issue with that it's your own fault and you're one of those people that make young players look bad lol... (for example by starting this thread) | ||

The game is 16+ to buy not to play to ensure children have permission from parents to play a violent game. It is perfectly legal for any age to play Sc2 | ||

(for example by starting this thread) It's wrong to stand up for my beliefs? I know this thread is worthless, it will do nothing to change how the system works. I'm just pointing out how I'd like things to be one day. It's just a thought stimulating topic. Nothing to do with waving around flags. | ||

Also, competitive SC2 can be a heavy emotional burden at times, and generally 13 year olds are not as well equipped to handle the pressure as older people are. I'm not saying you're the stereotypical 13 year old or anything, but basically the teams you apply to have no reason to think you're not. | ||

It's certainly not to say that kids can't be as good as their older opponents. Just wait until your older? | ||

About the legality and stuff, this is probably the best point out there, and I have to say it's not exactly a hassle, if you were given a situation where you had a top 5 player but you wouldn't recruit him because he had to get his parents to sign his contracts. I don't think you'd deny it would you? Again, I mentioned the generalization in the OP. Here's something for you, many people I talk to (any age) think that asians are just smarter than Americans. Asians are #1 in Math globally, but does that mean the generalization is correct? No. The reason for that is because you can't just say oh this group of people are better or worse than this group of people. Just like you can't say all kids are immature, sure if you did a study I bet you'd find the majority of kids are immature/annoying. But the exceptions outweight the majority, since the exceptions can turn into something truly great. I.e. pokebunny, flash started at 15? I think? People start from somewhere you shouldn't shut them down before they have a chance. Hate is a sensationalist word first off. Second please truly read v1dom's post, it addresses every relevant point you need to have. Parents, legal issues, being in school (which draws away from the commitment you need to be even relevant in the pro scene at all) all contribute to the burden of a team to take you on. If you're just stating that people troll you because you are thirteen on the internet...well that's the internet, don't wave around your age? | ||
