The Debate Behind Video Game Violence
do people still believe this? i thought this ended in like mid 2019
it’s, David Duchovny, From, The X-Files, 1993
Chris Fergason = #1 Shrill
i play cs go and i would never want to give people electric shocks!
Video games don’t cause violence. But violence caused video games.
It really comes down to the state of the mind. Video games inspire violence no more than violent books or tv shows do. And even a font does inspire violence, it’s a very VERY small proportion of gamers that actually act out on it.
Anyone who agrees with this video is an idiot, stop blaming games and do something about bullying or something.
Violent video games create killers like romance novels create rapists.
Hillary Clinton hates videogames too Democrat’s and republicans hate Video games
7:55 THEY USED A GUN MOD FOR MINECRAFT AS BACKGROUND FOOTAGE
I started playing Team Fortress 2 in 2018 and since then I have become a less aggressive person.
Imagine the media being terrified that football players would be tackling people on the street because that’s what they do in football
Night Trap, lmao
ok boomer
The 10% of Teens who don’t play video games:😇😞🤓
The rest who play video games:😇☺😎
In dead rising, youre a good guy tho- saving people who would die due the insane ammount of zawmbies. Wouldnt that just teach that you should protect and help the helpless?
And bruh, those are minecraft mods- most dont even know how to install them-
No
So they were talking about video games and in a small window on the side where was huracain warning WOW most important stuff always on topic
“Violent game” *shows minecraft*
Wars been made years ago before vedeogames , gun inventions are still growing , oh and melitaries need guns ammunition jets ships , same story as a vedeogame.. Welcome to earth. Good and evil.
I love how he says small but vocal for people who don’t believe video games cause violence even though every time I search on Google there is only one article for every 10 that say video games cause violence
red dead redemption 2, your rewarded for being honorable and only killing bad people. You are rewarded for being an honorable person
Is not really the games fault its the person who is playing has the control right??
We had play minecraft.
Idiot playing minecraft gives you zero combat training otherwise everyone will be in the army 😂😂. Even the kids knew the gun is empty.
1. Competitive and Hard games increase aggression, not violent ones. Noone likes loosing when the stakes are high and especially when there is a penalty. This of course is multiplied by aggressive personalities.
2. Violent video games, especially the more "graphic ones" are NOT for kids. There is an age rating right there on the box 15:03 and a kid below that age is generally not allowed to purchase such game without the presence of an adult.
There are also a lot of games(like free to play games), that are digital and don’t require a store or a credit card to be acquired and played. That’s why parents need to monitor their kids’s activity when that are on a PC or a Console.
3. The lack of parent intervention is almost always the problem ,whether it is that they don’t care what their kids play and by them whatever they ask,
or whether it is that the parents are not standing up against their kid’s demands and turn them into spoiled and entitled brats.
The lack of research and knowledge on this subject, time and time again, is less than surprising.
According to boomers if I start playing Pac-Man I’m going to eat children
i bet 100€ that the anti-video-game people are pro-nra
lag causes violence
Ok so let’s be clear
You put a DEACTIVATED gun in a room with a child they tried to shoot themselves yet you still say it’s tHeM dANM gAMEs
……ok? But let’s not forget media isn’t the biggest impact on kids it’s the parents. If the parents are aggressive and u play violent games yes you are more likely to become aggressive at the least
It’s not video games fault it’s a parent because they buy the game for the child
100% of people who say video games cause violence have never even played a game in their life. They just look at it and start assuming this kind of stuff
Boomers be booming.
I almost hit a cat and I sit there in shock. Yes I’m very violent lock me up
Ok booooooooooooomer
The ESRB and PEGI ratings are long overdue for an update (and not because of violence like the media says)
I have a question
If video games are making kids violent
Why am I still easy to beat the crap out of
How do games make you violent? All I do is play violent games and I haven’t killed 1 person
Imagine being so idiotic to think fortnite is violent
Walmart will remove violent video game ads, but keep actual guns
Sure ban video games but not assault rifles.
Back in the 30s do comics or cartoons cause violence
Who saw Minecraft Steve with a gun
I’m pretty sure if you gave the kid, who was about to shoot up a school, an awesome video game to play, he’d rather stay at home and play said game
AGGRESSIVE ACTS THAT ARE TEMPORARILY PLS GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT AND STOP PAYING PEOPLE TO SAY VIOLENT GAMES ARE BAD
Maybe we need to discuss the connection between people’s right to have guns and gun deaths?
People say video games are violent and yet we had 2 of some of the most deadly wars our planet as seen yet way before video games existed and then the torture methods back in medieval times (the iron maiden the brazen bull the head crusher or the big giant poll that’s shoved up someone’s a$& and comes out their mouth)
popularizing mass shootings through the media is what causes more people to cross that line. In 2018, it became a ‘trend’ in the news, in 2019 it became something almost to be expected. in 2020 now that the corona virus outbreak occurred there is absolutely 0 news about mass shootings or school shootings, and that might be because the schools are closed so kids dont have anyone to shoot at now, or it could be that those mass shooters were influenced by the media.
i get more agressive watching this than playing any kind of game for the last 25 years.
Lol FAKE NEWS. Cocaine made me violent
You may not become violent by playing Minecraft but playing a first person shooter and enjoy killing people is not normal. Videogames DO cause violence.
