9-13: Pokemon + Digimon related-things [games, animated series, etc], lots of Megaman X games (sorry, didn't like regular MegaMan ). Lots of SNES + PS1 + N64 games here.
14: YUUUU GIIIIII OHHHH~~~~
16+: No toys from here and onwards, but if you consider sex-position books as toys, sure! Also played lots of MegaMan Battle Network games!
Marginally-related rant.
When I was a little kid, there was a story about some guy who watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and then broke his kid sister's ribcage, killing her. Toy guns in childhood are replaced with Smith and Wesson firearms at a more mature age, and it's gotten to the point where some people think semi automatics are required for home defense.
Everybody who speaks out against this stuff is labeled naive or annoying because supposedly everyone has the right to make their own decisions about this stuff. But it's not the 6 o'clock news or violent lyrics or Halo or GTA alone per se, it's that they all combine to desensitize people to violence from a young age, to the point where surrounding violence is almost like surrounding air. I think the "decision" people make in light of that can be argued to be likewise influenced. I am proud to be American, but I don't really know what to say to people from other countries which :f6: at the rate of violent crime in my country.
