Today, I was playing a video game that required me to hunt a few animals. My mom walked in, saw what I was doing, then went into her psycho vegan mode and started yelling at me. She basically grounded me for "murdering" pixels on a screen. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my mom caught me playing Mortal Kombat and had a fit about the violence, saying she read violent video games turn young people like me into mass murderers. I’m 29 years-old with my own flat and she still tries to treat me like a dumb impressionable teenager. FML
Today, my father told me I was becoming violent because of the video games I play. I was playing Minecraft. FML
Today, once again, my mom chewed me out for, “playing games on the computer all day.” I’m not playing, it’s 3D modeling, and it’s my job. FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, my mum yelled "Son of a bitch!" as I narrowly beat her at a game of Mario Kart. I jokingly yelled back "Hell yeah I am!" Now I'm grounded for two weeks, birthday included, all because my mum's a sore loser. FML
Today, just like every other day, my mom has prioritized doing chores and chatting with her neighbors above even talking to me. This would be fine, if it wasn't in Animal Crossing. Apparently, a lifestyle video game is more important than me. FML
Today, I was playing a game with my family where we had to say the name of an actor/actress that started with a certain letter. When I said mine, my dad grounded me because he knew it was a pornstar. Now my mom is mad at my dad for watching porn too. FML
Today, my mom tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, my mom tried to ground me, even though I moved into my own flat to escape her. I told her 'my flat, my rules' so she tried to confiscate my Xbox because 'she’s the boss of me.' The look on her face as the cops took her away was worth the shouting match we’ll have when she makes bail. FML

Is she a PETA enthusiast? If so, play a lot of Pokemon in defiance.

Your mom is obviously against violence... Whether if it's legit or not.

I THINK 13 means that it's weird if OP's mom is fine with him killing real people in a video game but goes berserk when she sees a virtual animal get slaughtered.

FYL op. At least you're not doing it in real life.

Duck hunt right? So much animal violence in that game.

I'm vegetarian and I spend a good deal of my free time playing video games where you shoot animals, fictional animals and humans alike. If she's raised you right up to now and you can distinguish between fantasy and reality then what you do in video games won't affect what you do in real life. Hopefully she'll understand when she calms down...if not, FYL and I hope she doesn't try to perma-ban you.

Why would playing a videogame transform you into a flock of crows?

I can understand why seeing graphic images of someone hunting might be disturbing to a vegan (or any animal lover for that matter), but that really does not excuse her inability to rationalize the fact that it's just a game, and that NO animals were harmed making it. I would even go a step further and assert that many animal lovers would rather have people playing hunting simulation games than hunting real animals for sport.

I don't blame her, I can't stand dead pixels.

Was it Cabela's big game hunting? I hear a lot of controversy on that game from vegans...
