*biggest facepalm ever*
I mean come one, stop blaming the games. You could blame Super Mario and say that it encourages kids to be plumbers, but you don't see any of that happening. If any of the games are triggering something in a child's brain, then the child has obviously a mental disorder. Why can't you let normal people play these games and stop worrying on the implication on their brain when there isn't any?
Journalists and TV shows has just as much effect, but you won't see that on TV news, would you? No, cause they want to blame video games, so kids want to go out more. And they have more power over what is shown on TV than anyone. But here's the big joke on the whole thing, kids. It encourages them to play more games. Forbidding games just makes them want to play it more, and a worldwide ban on game is never gonna happen.You want to know what is more of a dangerous media? The paparazzi is a big fat example, they are more offensive and controversial than any bludgeoning, torturing, pedestrian killing game ever released. Oh, sure, you want to help the kids by making them go out, but if anyone of these ever have enjoyed a game, they will know how wrong they are.
And if you listen to her, you can obviously tell that she doesn't know anything about the subject, she's just speaking out of her ass. You're the ones making it a big deal! You're the ones talking about it when nobody else mentions it as something remarkably controversial. I actually think that news media has more effect than games, cause of they're worrying and their bickering.
Also, they're logic is flawed. Take a look at how many are seriously affected by video games and how many play games. There's a huge difference between the numbers. I've played around, say hundreds of video games, and none have made me have a sinister or bad thought, with the possible exception of fantasies of saving the world through having powers like Alex Mercer. I'm perfectly sane, while they're just calling out the extremely rare crazies. Have they ever taken into the large numbers o gamers in comparison. There are other, more dangerous media.
Sorry for the long rant, but I got really pissed by this. If I caused anyone offense in my white flash of rage, excuse me for that.
