Anyone else sick of the news
Seriously I watched the news today (I know big shock does anyone still watch the news?) anyway they did a piece on video games and it was a reporter watching cod and he said repeatedly that all gamers a serial killers and games are turning kids into mass murderers. I am so sick of the news calling us games serial killers.
They then switched games to just cause and blew up a building which the gamer was laughing the presenter was asking him about the people inside and asking is they were ok. And they gamer just responded with "there pixels you know" after that they went to an all time low and said Zelda the innocent Zelda was teaching kids how to kill with a bow. They were doing it on breath of the wild and he shot a robot with a bow and he died and the presenter said that all and cut to the studio and the woman said "disgusting gamers should be locked up or monitored as potential killer
So I have learned that I'm apparently a serial killer, mass murder, I should be locked up and watched also is I have kids they could become killers to.
News flash the games have age rating for a reason guys.
Edit: I know you guys are asking for a source but I don't have one I watched a clip on YouTube from another persons YouTube channel he did not state where it was from.

Where have you been? This has been going on since DOOM first came out in the 90s, and before that people claimed metal or rock and roll did the same thing

Link the YouTube video Find it

Your edit just confirmed you have no source. Yet people are eating this post up like bait. You guys need to calm down and realize there's not some crazy anti-gamer movement.

Did you know that nearly every study that claims that gamers have no empathy uses a group of people who have no empathy to begin with in order to get that result? Just saying! Traditionalist are desperate to pull us all back!

Edited by Manchu4249: 3/20/2017 7:27:18 PMSurgeon simulator hasn't turned me into a doctor. Madden NFL hasn't turned me into a professional NFL player MLB: The Show hasn't turned me into a professional baseball player COD/any FPS hasn't turned me into a mass killer. People that think like him are dumb and should be treated as such.

There is absolutely no connection to violence in video games to real life. Bad parenting makes bad kids.

2 RepliesDoesn't that mean that us as a community make up the most dangerous people on Earth? There is some 100mil gamers on this planet and if we are all serial killers...
-
Yeah, because beating the bad guys in a fighting game makes me a murderer. News reporters say stuff to look good and make money.
-
They're worse to metalheads. Apparently we're all church burners just because Mayhem were...

It's things like this that made me come to the decision to stop watching the news years ago. If I want to know what's going on in the world, I usually just take a little trip to the #Offtopic section.

Edited by Unforgiven: 3/23/2017 12:02:40 AMI thought this was about nightly news. Every time I turn it on, I hear a man was murdered. But I live in a decent side of Chicago so for me, it's like it could have been Africa or the North Pole, it doesn't really effect me so I don't really bother with it.

1 ReplyDamn, guys I'm sorry that minecraft is making me to violent.

2 RepliesEdited by Psyntifik: 3/21/2017 10:10:58 PMIsn't there a conspiracy theory that games like CoD and BF are pumped out to desensitise us to war and violence? Not totally related, but they are at least in the same area.

I'm sick of progressive leftist liberals period.

Heh, conservative news shows do the same thing with cannabis, saying stoners are a danger to society and that weed has been linked to becoming murderers and terrorism. Lmao, whatever it takes to spread fear eh?
-
That's stupid. Everyone knows that serial killers come from people watching Meghan Trainor videos. Mass Murders come from Putin & Obama Care & everything else is directly attributed to Donald Trumps hair and tiny hands.

1 ReplySeriously! I get more agresive when i play games like fifa or rocket league. Fps mskes me to calm down.

First off, without a source, you're either lying or watching something from 10 years ago. Second, I started playing Elite Dangerous when it launched; I am now a fully qualified astronaut with my very own Federal Corvette. This is 2017; if you don't like it, you can just get out.

if you're gonna call me a serial killer at least let me kill some people first.

2 RepliesSomeone once referred to such things as "The Terrible Simplifers". He was referring to dictaors and other purveyors of ultra-rightwing, demonizing politics, but the principle is the same. We live in a big, scary, confusing and frustrating world. Some people choose to deal with it form a standpoint of Truth....and other's from the standpoint of Certainty. Truth is what helps you to truly understand what is going on around you. But it requires that you be comfortable tolerating a lot of uncertainty. Because you will get good answers but not all of them. But some people find that Uncertainty scary and anxiety provoking. They like simple answers to things because it makes htem feel more Certain....an less anxious...even if what they're being told is untrue. Its like Donald Trump and "The Wall". The truth is that Illegal Immigration is NOT the source of America's economic problems. But scapegoating them helps fearful people feel more "Certani" Plus it distracts attention away from what the real problems are IN Truth.

Why you watch fake news is beyond me the corporate shills feed the ignorant masses whatever they want and the sheeple do no research.

8 RepliesIf anything gamers are mass grammar killers

1 ReplyI haven't seen a lot of negative press - or much of any press for that matter - for or against video games. I don't think it's as big a deal as some of you are making it out to be.

2 RepliesJust my thought but if the link really existed(between games and psychos) don't you think by now someone would've done a study on it
