 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25594339



The thought of first-person shooter games where youth can simulate shooting sprees does come to mind when you see these massacres.

But there is the argument: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

My riposte to that is "No gun, no shooting."

we have always had violence. it may be that these games are making it worse since young kids are playing them.

Righteous anger and Zeal does not equate to hate,pride or arrogance and are fully justified.

I posted it in another thread, but I'm going to re-post it here, because I see it as truth.

It's always typical to blame externals as being the cause of something. That's always been the case...people looking for some sort of scapegoat instead of laying blame directly at the feet of those responsible.

Music gets blamed.
Movies get blamed.
TV shows get blamed.

No, the parents are doing that.

Kids are turning to drugs/video games etc, because no one gives a shit about them.

I see it at work when a teen comes out to help us. You talk to him/her for 2-3 mins and they light up and want to hang around you and talk more.

Thats RIGHT!

They WANT their doom...they NEED to kill and KILL and KILL AGAIN.

Given the chance...all those who SAY they would not actually DO it in real life..well..when they see society going nuts..and they have a gun..SUDDENLY..every trick they learnt in those games will come flooding back..and the SAME cold unfeeling way they pulled of headshots in the game will be played out in real life..except...there are NO respawn points in real life..and no powerups..medkits..or upgrades.

They will kill and kill..like they do in the games.

And if they are good enough they might even get a "MONSTER KILL" before their turn to be gibbed comes up.

The market is now in the same state as Hollywood- it's headed and "led" by shareholders with no sense of creativity behind "Hire some guys to get the CoD audience", with the occasional independent area (e.g. Valve Software) that actually does good things amidst a sea of Mtn Dew ads, screaming 12 year olds, hipsters who think they're gamers because of Mineycrafta, and the latest in brown and bloom wubstep shooters.

It's amazing to think how varied things were six years ago.

i wouldnt argue against that.

the sales tactics displayed today by the MSM are disgusting.


and to be clear...i am not saying ALL video games should be banned and i dont think the OP is either. but we should take a look at games who's sole purpose is realistic killing with no other goals or motives. i am not talking about wizards and sword play.

this is coming from a gamer.

10 Things Parents Should Know About Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

2. War games are supposed to be violent!

Yes, and I am not judging this one as being too violent. Just that it is really about as violent as it could get. Black Ops 2 picks up roughly a generation after the first one ends with a few familiar characters and a story that weaves itself between the 1980s and the 2020s. In the first couple missions we see soldiers burning alive in an armored vehicle, a person tortured, then executed, and a fair share of blood and gore.

3. How gory is it?

Let’s just say the game is approaching slasher movie levels. Knife attacks are rewarded with a bright crimson arc of blood spray. Well placed shots can explode a person’s head or sever limbs, almost to comical levels. At one point there was so much blood spraying around that I thought I’d stepped into a horror movie.

Re: ban video games first
OP...

You can't place a single blame on video games first! It's the parents!

Parents are the gate keepers for their children's future. If they don't give a s**t about their kids, guess what, their kids won't give a s**t about their lives.

Give love to know love...

When parents let their children do whatever they want, watch whatever they want, without explaining and teaching them true right from wrong, you get what we see. Mindless, brain washed kids that don't give a s**t about anyone, or anything.

Kids are sponges. They can't be subjected at an early age, to nothing but violence (parents, movies, video games, music), without KNOWING right from wrong.

When a child isn't taught right from wrong, the true meaning of family and loving one another, but instead pure violence....what do you think will happen!?

First is was books, then is was comics, then it was TV, then it was Movies, and now you people want to blame videogames???

Did the Mongols play videogames? Because they slaughters millions, What about those who genocided Native Americans? or the Nazis?

You don't even know if this guy played videogames, and yet, you want to ban them. You people are no better than those who want to ban guns.

What facts?

We are receptive to what we hear, see, and feel.

Mostly we feel.

So if those around us are negative, and full of hate, no amount of good music/friends/tv etc, will allow us to rise above what we feel.

Re: ban video games first
Ill give an overview of this thread here , and where it will go ;




People born post 1990 arguing games are fine nd have absolutely no connection to externalisation of violence

people born 1980s and before ,remember what a computer game actually is , and the variety thereof , who realise modern games are just killing simulations


it is beyond any linear or abstract logic to suggest there is no connection between violent videogames, and the youth of today accepting and performing violence

it is hyped in culture and media

its a bastard form , not like eastern martial arts whos origin is of self control and defence

it is gratuitous western violence ; first person shooters , headshots, max kills , body counts, best sniper shots , ranks , these are all elements of games now, its fucking bullshit

however it is not ALL a big conspiracy - i agree that there IS an element of this voilence being proactively used to numb the populous, but i belive the majority of violent video games exist beacause THEY SELL

MAKE WHAT SELLS

GET MONEY SURVIVE

DONT CARE ABOUT MORAL CONTENT OF PRODUCT

JUST GET MORE MONEY

BUY MORE STUFF



This is ALL a result of low society
