Sarisio: That parents and their children have high chances to like entirely different game genres? Such "data" makes the whole research redundant.
If the research show that parents and children have different taste, won't that be meaningful research? As least they won't waste their time creating games for parents and children.
If research shows that there is a 50%-50% that parents and children like the same thing. Won't it be meaningful that they concentrate on these 50%?
How can you claim that irrelevant?
What about their pets?

CharlesGrey: Do you guys have some kind of official website and more info about this project? I think you'll receive more positive feedback and interest, if people can be sure this isn't just some sort of scam or hoax.
kristen_b: Thanks for your comment -- we'll have a website up soon and the project is introduced on the Committee for Children's site under "projects in development": http://www.cfchildren.org/about-us/new-mission-ventures Sarisio

CharlesGrey: Thanks, I'd recommend you update your first post with the link and possibly some more information about the project, so people don't have to read through the whole thread to find the important bits. :)
Sarisio: Agree. Especially that part about pets. We also have some flowers in my family... And many people treat flowers almost like pets, as they are also living beings. I think they react differently depending on video game being played nearby. I suppose they bloom when they like the game, and they wither if they don't like it. It could make for wonderful research and very important to advance the "knowledge of gaming"! :D

awalterj: Your question forgets to inquire about including grandparents and is therefor discriminating on an intergenerational level...
Klumpen0815: You both have no right to discriminate aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and especcially orphans! Off with your heads!
Hey hey! Give it credit. It's damn close to vegan (Whoops! Almost slipped and wrote 'him'/'he', but I would've violated that strict no-binary gender thing that "nature designed")

Narakir: I love when people gets downvoted and insulted for just asking a question and then people wonder why this forum is going down and needs moderation.
You mean dtgreene? Women already have more than enough coddling, the question was about encouraging male parental engagement. Arguably asking why sons and not daughters would be far more reasonable than wondering why father's and sons are the focus. I can't really speak for the OP, but most of the things that men and sons have traditionally done together are either no longer available or have had women horn in on it because feminists don't like men having nice things. No wonder so many men have a hard time transitioning to adulthood when we get to spend so little time with just our fathers.
I suspect that dtgreene's posts in other threads probably are a part of it, although, I don't personally think the post was that bad as to warrant downrepping. A tad tone-deaf, but not really that bad.

After all this I think that the OP would find studying the mentality of Gamers more interesting than Dads and boys

I frankly do not have any opinion regarding that research. I've done a few and overstretching to be too exhaustive often leads to irrelevancy, so I guess its their right to have their own limitations and not be accused of begin "non-inclusive", but at the same time, they do not need the forums people to defend their choices, especially when it devolve into another SJW/GG skirmish.I can't really speak for the OP, but most of the things that men and sons have traditionally done together are either no longer available or have had women horn in on it because feminists don't like men having nice things.

Potzato: The right to say anything,
and the right to disagree with anything said,
and the right to have someone chose who has which rights,
make a very fuzzy soup.
Total non sequitur. What does moldy soup have to do with anything else that has been said in this thread so far? and the right to disagree with anything said,

At least the pets will continue to have doctors.

The actual experiment is to propose a game, then see how people respond on a gaming forum. Experiment in progress! This comment is the first reference to GG I've seen in here. Person A mocking Person B's ideas on how society should work does not mean Person A is even aware of GG, much less identifies with it.
