Ok here is my situation, I recieved MK 9 in the mail from a Video game rental place and I started to play it. My father caught me playing it and he told me to return it because he said that it was too blood, dispite my age. So I retuned it but now I am wondering, what do I do with my fandom now?

I mean I am a fan of the gaming franchise that can't play the games!

What should I do?

Your Profile says you are 19 Years old? If thats right, you are an adult/mature. So you can do whatever you want. You living at parents house? YOur father could tell you to not play it in his House, thats all he could do. Get the Game and play it so that your Father will not notice it? Hmm, i dunno.
 
Talk to your dad about how much you love the franchise and tell him theres a option to take off the blood. If he doesn't understand, you have to listen to your dad.
 
Your 19, your an adult, do what you want. Unless of course you live with your dad, in that case, MK is not worth the risk of an an eviction.

Is your dad not an avid fan of bloody games, or any other type of horror based material?

I tried to turn off the Blood during Multiplayer and the campain but it didn't work. And if you know how exactly to turn off blood for everything I would very very very much appreciate it.
 
Yikes. That's pretty strict. But, your dads your dad. Although I am surprised that you have that limitation. You're an adult, you should be able to make your own buying decision on games that are rated 17+. Though I'm not one to talk. I'm younger than you, so I still have to have my dad's ok on games.
 
It sucks your dad has hangups about blood and gore, but you're an adult and can make your own decisions. Just play the games when he isn't around, its as good a compromise as you can get.
 
Lmao, dude if my dad told me to return the game I'd laugh in his face and say, "Sorry bro you had me 18 years ago, you're shit out of luck trying to make me do what you tell me now."

Plus the M rating is 17 plus, wtf?
 
Man, that's a hell of a situation... Try convincing your dad it's not gonna have a bad influence or something over you. You're 19, you're and adult, you're mature, you should be able to tell the diference between a game and reality, it's not like you are going on rampage killing everybody because you played a violent game, hell, it's not even gonna make you more violent, if anything you'll get less violent, because the game will satisfy your sadistic needs (and everybody has got those).
 
Wow, I can't believe there is someone out there who is more sheltered than I am. That's a tough situation and I'm so sorry. I have a lot of empathy for what you're going through.

My parents, a Machiavellian duo if there ever was one, don't want me playing MK either. They hate everything about who I am. But I guess I'm too headstrong to buckle. I won't change who I am or what I like, not even for my parents. If they loved me unconditionally, they wouldn't mind anyway. That's how I see it.
 
Um.. your dad sucks. If he's still trying to shed you away from blood/gore at the age of 19, he's only making it worse once you're finally out. one of my friends when I was 13 his parents wouldn't let him play poke'mon with me because they found out it means "pocket MONSTER" and didn't want him playing it cuz it had the word monster in it... disgusting right?

Now he's 22 I'm 24 and he's so hardcore into gore and death and such I think it was directly influenced by restricting him from it. If they let him play gory/blood/monsters earlier (it's earlier than 17 IMO) So they can get desensitized to it so blood and gore mean MUCH less to them later.

Someone who never see's gore... would be disturbed by mortal kombat. luckily us americans have seen enough gore in movies ect ect. That we are desensitized to it and it's less of a big deal to us.

same with japan and their sex.
 
My mother has a disdain for graphic violence in media. She could not stop me from playing, so she tries to make me uncomfortable about it by making objections when I play violent video games. It's not as extreme as your situation, but I do have an idea of what you are going through.

Back to your father, there is no way he can shield you from exposure to violence. You are old enough to get through high school, and chances are schools have made you read more than enough literature that have instances of violence. What you don't see you can make up in imagination. You can tell him are you old enough to understand right from wrong, fantasy from reality, and you will not be induced into unacceptable behavior because of it. If he cannot be convinced, there is not much you can do except to follow the rules until you have your chance to move out. If you are dependent on him, your choice of entertainment is not worth the risk of getting kicked out.

I don't get it. Even if granted you just turned 19...but hell, you can smoke, gamble, drive, and die for your country. So it is against your dad's best advice. Have you been caught crucifying your family cat? If then I advise no violent games. But until then, your dad should not be sheltering you like this and be up all up in yo bizness. Until then, grow some balls and step up, confront him, or crucify the family cat in the living room in retaliation. That is what I would suggest.
