Not appropriate for 6 yr olds.

Can't post pictures as will probably out myself. Our local cake shop posted a gallery of recent kids cakes for popular themes. They are superbly decorated and beautiful cakes, we have always used them to buy our DC birthday cakes.

Many of the cakes were Fortnite themed. All for kids younger than 12, the games age restriction.

AIBU to think a 6 yr olds birthday cake shouldn't have grenades, machine guns, bricks, axes and various other weapons on top?

I get that many kids are learning the dances in the playground, so is my son 7, but he does not get to see game footage or play it. He certainly won't get a cake. WTF is wrong with these people who think PEGI age restrictions are simply a serving suggestion, like portion sizes. Rant over.

" and DS says in Fortnite you kill people and steal their skin, using bits of it to make your own friend"

And this right here is why parents should do their own bloody research into this kind of thing.

YANBU but my 6 yr old declares he "loves fortnite" all the time, despite never having seen it or played it. What he does love though is the dance moves and he watches endless videos of the dance move compilations on YouTube so that's what he means.

My 12 and 7 year old boys play fortnight, I can’t see any issue with it whatsoever. Although I also have no problems buying toy guns and swords for them either, kids have been role playing like this for all of time

I know full well that skins refer to costume changes. I was shocked at the very graphic and imaginary interpretation being thrown around the playground by 7 yr olds. This is what happens when everyone is talking about it but very few are playing it. Embellishments and bravado by very young boys.
