Hmm...

Explain to them that this game was just barely made M, and that it does have some violence but there are a lot of other games with more violence.

Exactly. I got TF2 for free and I never told em'. Just don't repeat ANYTHING you hear in there that sounds bad......

So have I, but what reason does that give it to deter the significance of being blown into 7 pieces by a rocket launcher?
Nonetheless I like the game.

I need to somehow detract from the violence.

Highlight the gore, so that it overshadows the actual violence.

Re: How to convince parents to let me get TF2?

Well, the graphics are actually kinda cartoony compared to other M rated games, that's probably what jfmlove6 meant when he said it seems less violent.

Re: How to convince parents to let me get TF2?

Download the low violence patch for no blood!   If it doesn't work, tell them that everyone on scratch agrees that it's not that violent.  I started when playing when I was 11, and you're fourteen, so, I'm pretty sure you're mature enough to handle it.  You're parents should really trust you more.

Re: How to convince parents to let me get TF2?

My parents won't let me play the entirety of Gmod after they saw me playing DarkRP. And DarkRP was the only thing that they disliked about it.  roll

But yeah, so I probably have it worse, but I don't own that game so can't help you. Sorry man.
