i promise you’re not! i’m not sure if it’s the sort of thing you’re talking about, but i’m sure there are veterans, etc. who play neopets to unwind and that does count as killing, even if it happened in the context of war.

also this is just a really interesting “confession” to me because i understand where it’s coming from. when i’m playing a kid’s site - neopets, toontown online, whatever - there’s always that point where my mind wanders to the things i’ve done that don’t sync up with the innocent image and i start wondering if i’m out of place there. but i don’t think i am! i think for every young child who is experiencing something for the first time there are going to be adults who are there for different reasons. there are all sorts of nasty things one can do that are not mutually exclusive with enjoying bright, fun, childish things.
