In this virtual world we live in, anyone else think that war-like video games

Not any more than violent movies and TV shows.

I think it's similar but different. In video games, the player does the killing

We've glorified violence and killing. Especially with guns. It's gotta be a piece of the puzzle.

How could all the media violence not be contributing?

Pretorian

100% no. Don't blame something that is purely entertainment on some evil, crazy

5/25/22 1:47pm

100% no? How is that quantified?

I was referring to how I personally feel on it...100% disagree with the OP.

If 100% of people are exactly like you, then great!

Exactly ^^^^^

Like I said below, we can't start banning stuff with violence just because

5/25/22 2:25pm

Ok, I’m with you…. What are the underling issues?

Pretorian

5/25/22 2:33pm

Mental health.

5/25/22 2:50pm

No crap Sherlock, how do you address that?

Pretorian

5/25/22 4:55pm

Who said anything about banning stuff?

Eddie

That's fair. When you break down like that, I think any media that contains

Sure, it doesn't affect you, and might not significantly affect 99+% of the

Then address the underlying mental health issues. Don't ban something that

As a society, we reap what we sow. We are a society that revels in graphic

Porn is not even close to the same thing as war-like video games. C'mon, now.

5/25/22 2:26pm

Do a little research, you’ll change your mind

Pretorian

5/25/22 2:38pm

Porn is awful and has tons of horrible side effects. I agree with you.

5/25/22 2:53pm

Rating them Mature has stopped pretty much no one from playing them.

That's on their parents.

They play the same video games in Japan and do not have the same issues.

Thrill

How many hours a day do Japanese kids play those games compared to the

Shihan

5/25/22 2:04pm

Let me help you out. About 2 hours per week vs about 15 hours per week.

Shihan

5/25/22 2:14pm

But it's more than just that anyway.

Eddie

5/25/22 2:18pm

Really, Japan doesn’t have any violent crime?

Pretorian

5/25/22 2:20pm

I don’t think that the games cause people to shoot others. But rather the market

It's foolish to think it doesn't have an impact on some.
