Your grasp on gaming culture is lacking. . . .
The guild or more accurately the players in that guild she (the daughter) have gotten close too are the problem. . . .
- She (the daughter) found a game. Likely either approved or flew under the radar of mom. The morality of the game however is not in question as much the community she stumbled into bringing us too…
- many gaming collectives ( normally called guilds but there are other names) run outside of the game voice communication servers and website to coordinate online efforts. Example Dragon attacks some online village, the player is tasked to kill the dragon but it’s too powerful to do alone. Entire armies and stratagem are constructed on these off game sites.
- These sites often have off game topic sub threads to prevent burn out. If you only talk about game it can get tiresome. Even this forum has an off topic subsection.
This promotes people to play other games and gives a excuse to discuss real life topics. Often bringing our dragon slaying heroes closer together as community. - putting filters on the internet doesn’t block her playing the game or accessing these forums for three reasons:
-The game isn’t about LGBT community. You’d have to block the game specifically. Pointless because the game itself is not the culprit of our problem. Any more then a bus station is evil cause theives have access.
-Websites use tags to indicate to Google what they do. CAF has tags like “Catholic” “philosophy”. Gaming communities would have tags marking interest in the game. While they can self identify as “LGBT” they are under no requirement too. Furthermore many of these forums are private, only allowing members of the guild to access them. Mostly because dragon killing secrets are valuable. It’s a gaming community bragging right to have a secret stratagy same as any sports team. Key words and tags can’t be read in private pages rendering your filter meaningless.
-Kids are really good at subverting blocking. Most blocking tech relied on the aforementioned key words or manually blocking specific instances. Example CAF forum.
This doesn’t prevent the access to other Catholic forums especially if they are private. The mother would have to manually set blocks on each one as discovered. Even then if the child used proxies or virtual software she can easily circumvent all your suggestions.
