Please don't think I am judging either, I am no better then them, I'm not even against weaing black or even black make-up if thats just your style, but what I am against is the -reason- these people do it.

Those games really have gotten a bad reputation, but they're mostly harmless. There are people with a hard time dealing with reality that are attracted to them, but I wouldn't blame the game for their issues. Although, if you're the type to blame "The Catcher in the Rye" for Mark David Chapman, then I guess that there really isn't anything I can say to change your mind.
I don't play those RPG games, but I have known a few people that have and from what I can tell, there isn't anything involved that wasn't in the Lord of the Rings books / movies.

Well, I think the issue is mainly an attitude of disinterest by "the parents." If you're that concerned about your kids, just make sure they know that it's "make believe."
