Video Games Lead to Violence

Why is nobody pointing out the fact that when the youth plays all of these video games where they are trained to shoot and kill police officers, that they may just one day go outside and do the same thing that they do in these video games?

How is the Dallas police officer massacre any different than some 16 year old who has 5 stars wanted level in GTA from murdering countless officers? Why does nobody ever point out how video games makes people violent?

Nice bait, you should try it on Sup Forums

mom?

turn off your phone and go back to sleep

This argument was disproven like 20 years ago when moms and dumb politicians were raging against Eminem, Marilyn Manson and the original GTA. Nice try grandma

>violence has gone down worldwide since video games were invented

seems like its the opposite, anita

Meme Magick is real senpai

are you really comparing some 2D games to the games that are coming out today? there was no virtual reality back then like we have today. every other 12 year old spends half of his day playing COD where his job is to kill as many people as possible. you think this has no impact on the mentality of the youth?

Has Donald Trump ever been at a GTA game?

He would make a good character who gives you missions

there were definitely a few rich characters who give you missions.

And yet white and asian men make up the vast majority of console and PC gamers. Kill yourself, you fucking retard.

There was a billionaire character in GTA 3 named Donald Love who was almost certainly a parody of Trump.

Well, there is Donald Love in GTA3, who is a billionaire mogul playboy that's secretly a cannibal.

i never see a video game kill someone

u sure buddy?

all of those are true

you can't pick and choose your arguments and pretend it only applies to stuff YOU dont consume

( ((((Violent)))) ) video games have a causal link with increased aggressive behaviors, but they do not appear to be long lasting. Such aggression can more likely be attributed to circumstantial things like your mom walking in on you playing GTA or the game being shut off / paused unexpectedly. However violence has been on the downswing in the past 25 years - arguably since the beginning of Wolfenstein and DOOM. That, with increased policing and lessened use of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, perhaps people have found better outlets for their anger.

In name only. If you ignore the shared first name and the grand cannibal metaphor, their personalities and mannerisms don't match up.
