Video Games Don't Cause Violent Behavior
Video Games Don't Cause Violent Behavior
Everyone just knows that violence is on the rise, especially among kids. Everyone just knows that violent video games have something to do with it. Except violence isn’t on the rise, as we showed in our “Sky isn’t falling episode”. And there’s really no evidence that video games are the cause of violence anyway. Step away from my video games!

I’m like the most empathetic, sensitive, kind and loving person I personally know, yet I play a lot of Call of Duty—
I’d never dream of hurting anybody in real life. Besides, I play campaign with the storyline and characters. I’m honestly more interested in the plot and character development than spilling blood.
2:18 – 3:26
nothing makes me wanna shoot up a whole school more than a good Nintendogs session
yes they do
You speak much truth!
Video games caused 9/11
I hate Assholes that ignore the facts that video games turns people violent and leads to killers.
So many people die over video games all the time but facts don’t matter anymore.
It’s bad enough kids are shooting siblings over game controllers.
good video, but at 4:15 71-23 does not equal 12
Even more like than dr Phil’s videogames cause violence video but I still love u dr phil
This is what bugs me about people who blame video games, besides the lack of evidence: 1. Perhaps your child should not be playing a Rated M game to begin with, 2. If you can not differentiate between real life and fiction, perhaps you should not being playing games, 3. Video games are fantasy, pretend, not real.
before video games crime punishments were 200x worse
I’m sick of parents blaming developers for the amount of violence in a video games when they’re the ones going out and buying it for their kids
All school shooters have been to a school before
So school cause violence
I can’t fucking believe that the Dutch are buying more video games. This is bullshit. We need to do better.
The News didn’t like that
So if i play tf2 and i main the demoman
I would go arround running toward people with a shield and bash people with a fucking pan
NAH
But lag does.
They just want to not let us to use video games
It’s like saying that porn leads to rapes
People say video games cause violence as if there was no wars, genocide, or murders before video games. Then there’s also that little fact that in it’s the safest time to be alive.
What about a video game where you start out as the bad guy, then changed to be good, like battlefront 2 story mode, teaches that things aren’t always right and they can be changed
119 dislikes are the parents that never blame them self LOL
If video games *cause violence* why don’t they just Ban guns then
Media: Videogames cause violence…
Me: *playing a restaurant game on roblox* What’cha say?
#keyboardlivesmatter
Don’t you hate it when you play TF2 and afterwards you start shooting rockets at your feet
Media: "Video games are violent!!!"
Me: "Okay now I just have to plant these parsnip seeds here and then water them."
Finally
I’d argue it actually inhibits violent behavior, because it provides one with a stress relief to calm themselves down so they don’t shoot up a school. Oh right, I forgot the media loves it when a school shooting happens. Yikes!
But what if they were testing it wrong? like maybe it’s not right after they play the video game, but as they keep playing for, I don’t know, years and they’re brian took effect. It happened to this guy, he played some violent video games for years and keep saying there was a voice in his head telling him to kill people. He also said that he wants to become a terrorist. My dad was close to his father and he would notice him play violent games, then he would go to my dad and tell how he was hearing a voice in his head. The guy’s father laughs it off like he was just joking, but my dad could see that the guy was serious. Then one day, he got a knife and chased his friend saying that his voice told him to do it. Yall probably might not believe this anyway.
If anything, playing Gta releases all of my anger. It makes it so that I don’t shoot real people.

me after buying a Tesla in GTA V: OH BOY, I REALLY WANNA BUY A TESLA AND RUN OVER SOMEONE WITH IT.
How long has violence been around? As long as humanity has been around. How long have video games been around? 50 or 60 years.
