I'm not saying it's okay, because I agree with the idea of Friends Only voice chat as long as the friends system isn't too complicated (which was something the Wii U got right, to be fair), I'm just saying that eight-year-old kids could be themselves capable of said bullying and that the Friends Only voice chat isn't a perfect system. Kids will find a way around it, and parents should be watching kids that young whenever they're interacting with other people over the Internet and educating them on the risks of doing so. While Nintendo should have a moderation system I don't think they should be held personally responsible for voice chat abuse in their games, especially considering how common it is in modern games and applications. That'd be like saying it's the VG Resource's fault somebody insulted me in a topic or something.

You'd be surprised how many people actually have that mindset.  Like for example, if a Youtuber who has a fair amount of subscribers decides to do a debunking reply video to whomever, to refute the claims made by someone else in another video, some people actually think that the heavy backlash against the second person is the fault of the first person, and that they incited harassment.  Even if all the first person does is just simply debunk the second person's talking points.

As for voice chat itself, I'm honestly not sure of the need for it at this point.  Don't people just use middleware by this point?  Skype, Discord, and so on, it's really not that hard to make a group wherever and start a voice chat these days.
