I often envy that 3rd world countries don’t try to hide this from society

Violence; if it doesn't solve all of your problems, you're not using enough of it.

Even music contains violins.

I saw The Slaughter of the Innocents a few months ago, it's fucking brutal.

It's like everyone has asked the question "What if I could kill people with no consequences?" and answered that by writing a story.
ProLurker47
Dam. That's deep
Riasiru
Oh hey, the thing Video Gamers have pointed out since forever was depicted by a gaming comic... M'kay then.
SanityAsylum
Violence begets... oh nevermind.

This is a good way to describe how Europeans panic at the sight of violence in their media.

Awww humanity! You're tearing me apart! ;)
itchybackside
We all played counter strike at 10 years old upwards but I don’t think we shoot people up because we know it’s a game
CidColetti
My favorite. They will show terrible tragedies and horrific violence but bleep profanity, even on cable news.
ToastyMozart
Not to mention the fetishistic detail they go into whenever a spree killing happens.
doucheCat
Especially the news! Though they try to take it back in every newscast with a YouTube video of a Cat sorting mail or something...
Zyrin
Iirc they try to tell one feel good story, To make it seams that the world isnt shitty.
RhymingEverything
There is def some kind of a difference in video games when you choose/commit the violence, but if that's better or worse we have not studied
Dingus2
Yes we have. A LOT. Video games don't make people violent. PERIOD.
That is not what I am contending. I agree with your statement though.
Howtogrowwood
Wait! The internet has violence! Say it isnt so!
RacecarRoadcar
The FCC thinks it does.
ASlackerOnTwitch
I mean it does. Red rooms and whatnot
TheThingThatPeopleNeverTalkAbout
What does Red rooms mean?
Its a deep web live stream where you send money in to have someone torture someone else in a specific way.
Ewanator
Does anyone actually complain about video games causing violence?
LithiumGrease
they used to fo sho
fitlex
Every time a new GTA comes out
Paragonly
My mom...
zerkalot
Playing FIFA2018 didn't make me any better at soccer...
dogempire
Yep, had a professor who believes this.
RideTheStimutacs
It was all the rage when Mortal Kombat and GTA first came out.
effigyoma
There is a study that connected terrible play control to increasing violence in immediate behavior, but that's it. Not violent content.
FooQuuxman
These days it's all about making them sexists and nazis. Get with the times man!
NickJames23
My Aunt did yesterday
fr1080f
Not since avocado toast
ashyhisdale
Yeah, my mum..
bravecatgaming
now days they are said to cause violence, misogyny, autism, and anger issues. only one of those are actually true
Treefur
They moved on to "video games cause misogyny". Same story, different accusation.
PmMeGifsForSauce
gamergate and that one sarkissian chick right?
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
Yeap. Just because gaming journalism was caught with its pants down.

Welcome to Germany...

Shot in the dark here: you're in your early 20s or younger? Because holy shit that was all they blamed after Columbine.
Behemoth090
Not as much as the 90s to early 2000s.
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
Hoo boy, you must be a young one. Let me sing you the Ballad of Jack Thompson.
Have you lived under a rock?
I've seen so many people talk about it but only ever "omg everyone thinks videogames cause violence when then don't". Never seen anyone
actually say they think it does to my face.
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
yes. i know people who wont let their kids play any games because they believe this.
noxmeter
That could make them violent
gewalt
that will definitely make them violent
In the 90s it was a huge political issue manufactured by the media saying that games make kids violent, but then science said no and a ->
-> nutjob lawyer took up the cause, so everyone eventually got sick of it and when the nutjob was disbarred it more or less ended.

Nt since we killed them all

Cool cool violence. All the cool kids are doing it. And drugs. They do drugs too.
Aerogers

ThePiedPiperofRuination
And the comments even! Oh Mary mother of jesus cover your eyes children!
Twiggeh
Yes but videogames are the dangerous ones because they're newer
bogus1983
Newer than real life and the news?
alexstamat
It’s like parents are blaming new things for how shitty their kids turn out to avoid the responsibility or something.
NERDRAGEohacat
You've just established actual violence is the least dangerous because it's the oldest!
AdrianDunne
It's because the people moaning don't play the games, like the way the people moaning didn't watch the films.
Almost like it suits them to blame other peoples hobbies for the ills of society.
TuscanKP
Ok if some kid plays COD or GTA then thinks it's ok to go grab a weapon and kill people it's not the game, the kids insane to begin with.
Also the parent's fault for giving them a game they aren't mature enough to handle.
And letting them have unfettered access to firearms, which is always suspiciously unmentioned in the news articles.
This.
Seriously, "the 7 year old set down GTA5, picked up a gun, then shot his grandma." The game should NOT be the focus here.
ArtOzz
Ackchyually the core of their argument revolves around the fact that to perform the virtual violence there is a requirement of direct
involvement from the player rather than passive observation. Its a fallacious argument responded to by we in the industry with the fact that
STGxDante
You could say the same for everyone involved in the creation of movies.
ATalkingMushroom
those guys are retarded.
alcaray
Sounds like more of a hypothesis than an argument. As does your contention. Got data?
only those with pre-existing mental instabilities lack the capability to discern the differences between virtual and real world actions.
mrmartini
I kinda see it like how kids used to pretend shoot each other playing Cowboy & Indian only there's a screen & less imagination & racism. Lol
Ryebread91
My thoughts always been then why aren't there dozens of columbines every day if that's the case.
johnantelope
Violent video games are directly correlated with increased god damn time to myself
VantaBlackSexDungeon
Holy shit I feel smarter now
And yet when I tell people I know shit about games design they give me that stupid fuckin ron burgundy meme with the cig. Bitch. I know.
There are however many other health risks. Usually only from excessive use. Like most things in life.
Whereas when played in moderation, gaming can improve memory & hand/eye coordination.
Yeah, heh, Ive read those stories about guys whove played WoW for days non-stop and then died. The thing about that is not what they were
Hillhome
Same arguments were made against tabletop games such as D&D also
Well, lots of satanic complaints there. Witchcraft and so forth. Likewise against Harry fucking Potter as well.
Bozziboi
Graphically violent books also require direct action by you turning the page and no one gives a shit...
jackwithers9000
My mom says video games cause those
Im sure she does young person, but as far as I know its chemical inbalences in the brain that causes the imbalance, not outside activity.
