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

100% no? How is that quantified?

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

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

Pretorian

Mental health.

No crap Sherlock, how do you address that?

Pretorian

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.

Do a little research, you’ll change your mind

Pretorian

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

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

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

Shihan

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.
