Do you really want to kill children in a video game?!
Personally, I just want the choice.

Again, of course, this would rely on a system wherein gore and twitchy-action are not the game's selling points, not to count, a gaming demographic that is not quite so flippant about killing and looting everything that moves.

Good luck with that.

Honestly...yes.
Where videogames are concerned, a Gears of War-esque kiddy-killer would be grotesque and, where I'm concerned, ought rightly to be prohibited.

Wrong on both counts. I think it would be an amazing amount of fun, and on what grounds do you feel that it should be prohibited? Because YOU find it offensive? Plenty of people find games like Gears offensive. Just because you don't like content doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

Thanks for supplying us with such a quintessential example of a rhetorical question.

Across the board, they are all just GAMES.
...and the Gettysburg Address was just a speech, the Magna Carta is just a document, the Sistine Chapel is just a building, the Torah, Qur'an and Bible are just books...etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...any more inane points you'd care to make? Format is meaningless, message is paramount, be it conveyed with or without interaction, directly or via a narrative.

God Forbid that the game sends a message that children aren't immortal. we'll shake the world.

That aside, I fail to see what message it would send.
