The thing is, I have no idea if this guy was just trying to being or if he was serious. If he was trying to be funny, he wasn't very good at it. For example, the AVGN is funny because he over exaggerates the games he plays just to give us a good laugh. He even said himself that some of the games he's reviewed he has fond memories of. There's the line between funny and serious. The Irate Gamer seemed to be serious about what he was saying and I understand how it could offend many people. To me he seems arrogant and is one of those gamers that believe "If a game doesn't have blood and gore than it's a kiddie game". Like c'mon....Zelda has always been about mystery and enchanting areas of the world we can only see in our dreams. Magic comes alive and the classic Hero/Villain archetype is portrayed in a fun way. If Zelda had blood and gore and took a more serious tone, I don't think many gamers who are fans of the series would really like that. Some games have to have blood and gore to set the mood, but believing that every game should either for adults only is just plain ignorant.
I'd be a hypocrite if I said that I didn't play games with gore and other adult themes, because I do play those games. However, I do not believe that every popular game should have guns, blood and gore in them, because each popular series has their own sparkle that makes them popular.
