If they want to yell while playing games, then they can play games outside.

Not computer games they can't. And not in all seasons/kinds of weather, either.

I'm fairly certain that every mother ever has told her children to stop yelling in the house at least once.

And I'm fairly certain every parent (mother? what?) also sometimes allowed it. You know, politeness is kind of about a sentient counterpart, rather a fixed sound threshold in a panopticon.

From the single bit of data I have, your idea of repression seems to be anything less than complete anarchy

How so? If I think it's repressing if a child is under no circumstance allowed to yell out in joy or fright while playing? What does this have to do with anarchy? That's not anarchy, that's life.
