If video games make you violent...
That's how it works, doesn't it?
-
That's not how it works. The correct analogy would be monopoly makes you want to get into real estate.
-
Violence is for the poor who can't afford video games.
-
If video games make you violent then surely so do violent movies, books, pictures, songs, poems as well...... Ban everything except guns.

1 ReplyThat's like asking if board games make you bored.

Monopoly makes you bankrupt.

2 RepliesMonopoly also makes you violent

So many people that don't know what they're talking about in this thread...

Just like how not everyone becomes a millionaire while playing monopoly but a few who probably made a million selling it video games don't cause violence but probably do affect a already violent person. Do narrssistic people play video games? I mean they probably don't like getting their asses kicked.
-
Video games may make already violent individuals more violent in the same way that losing a game of monopoly might make those same individuals more violent. Clearly not everyone who plays video games is violent so that train of thought is broken right away.
-
You would get violent the same way if someone to bother you everyday the same way. It's just how your mentality is and if you're strong enough to not let video games go to your head.
-
I must be very violent.
-
If you are unable to remove yourself from the "game world" you should stop playing video games and be wearing a straitjacket.
-
This is a thing. People just demonize video games because video games don't have as much clout. Imagine if you tried to blame football in Europe or American football in America for some sort of catastrophe... nobody would buy it. Shoot, even when fans act violently, the game isn't blamed at all, they try to place it on "mob mentality" or some nonsense.

Video games are stupid!
-
I wish. Imagine how much money you would get for playing games like Borderlands.

Edited by CondrioidViking: 2/10/2013 12:25:14 AMI play a lot of games, and as far I'm concerned, I know several people that are way more violent than me, and they usually don't play games. Just look at football fans, I mean... They would basically kill each other if you put two people that like, let's say... Manchester United and Liverpool in a room together. Friends of me that play football was much more violent than me, always wanted to fight, or bully... You name it, while we gamers really never cared for such. TL;DR No, games doesn't make you more violent.
-
Despite my opposition to the notion that playing video games makes you significantly desensitized to violence, comparing that concept to becoming a millionaire doesn't make sense. Killing someone is significantly easier than acquiring a large sum of money.
-
66 RepliesViolent video games make you less sensitive to violence. In turn making you more likely to commit a violent act.
-
If video games define who you are in real life, then I should be a master swordsman/vault hunter/pokemon master/guitar legend/car thief/batman.
-
This a pretty bad analogy.

There is one fact to live by. If video games make you violent then you have a mental disease.
-
I would fight as a guerilla like I do in ArmA II some times. Doesn't me I will do it, just if I need to.
-
I love stomping the crap out of necromorphs and killing people in CoD but I would never do any of the sick shit I do in video games in real life.
