Video games cause violence

If we want to have a discussion regarding this we need to acknowledge the truth.
Videogames are becoming more realsitic.
We can now have a realistic gun in a videogame and people can actually go and buy it.
There are games with realistic bullet-body damage.
You are telling me japanese weebs looking at loli all day long and not generate the logical thought “kids are kinda hot”
Don’t you think that giving a kid media that they cannot process won’t get fucked up by that.
According to this board having lgbt media will make people gay..
Why doesn’t that happen with videogames? A highly interactive medium!
For god’s sake, the military has used videogames to push the mindset, don’t you think they have this shit investigated by scientists?

Female teachers and single mothers cause violence.

>If we want to have a discussion regarding this we need to acknowledge the truth.
If we want to have a real discussion, you need to actually be willing to have a discussion and not just connect partially true statements to absurd conclusions that don't follow.
>Videogames are becoming more realsitic.
Yes.
>You are telling me japanese weebs looking at loli all day long and not generate the logical thought “kids are kinda hot”
Yes, anime characters are not real people and the data shows definitively that there are less pedos (and criminals in general) in Japan than in other Western countries, so you're completely wrong on this.
>Don’t you think that giving a kid media that they cannot process won’t get fucked up by that.
Depends on the kid, some get fucked up and media could be partially responsible whereas some don't.
>Why doesn’t that happen with videogames?
You're making a huge leap from "vidya affects people in some unspecified way" which is completely valid to "vidya has a causative relationship to violence and shootings" which is backed by no data at all.

Make a specific argument and support it, stop this sophistic bullshit of conflating the wildly different statements of:
-media has SOME effect on people (true)
-media is responsible for [X] (false)

pay attention to what your kid is doing, see if they can differentiate between fantasy and reality

depends on age

i don't see how other than shooting at a familiar silhouette which won't be as good as a firing range

I am not saying video games cause mass shootings or something stupid like that.
I am saying, media affects people, wouldn’t this happen with violence as a whole

Why are people so protective of their videogames?
It seems like you cannot criticize our question them without people feeling personally attacked?

why do you use a memeflag?

>I am not saying video games cause mass shootings or something stupid like that.
The subject of this thread is "Video games cause violence", that is a completely stupid and baseless statement with no evidence to support it.

>I am saying, media affects people,
Yes, nobody denies that, but that's not the same thing as "causes violence". I would be much more concerned with the effects of vidya on things like motivation as opposed to violence. If anything I would even hypothesize that vidya had a calming effect, the exact opposite of what you're suggesting. Perhaps people who can go rampage in GTA or zone out and play autism games for hours have an effective outlet for stresses that would otherwise build up and cause violent outbursts.

>wouldn’t this happen with violence as a whole
Not necessarily, no. Despite the fact that we've been importing violent 3rd world savages for the last 50 years, the homicide and violent crime rate have been dropping since the popularization of vidya. I'm not bold enough to make a definitive claim of causation for this correlation, but surely if they were "causing violence" as you say, surely we would see the opposite.

Media can affect people without causing violence, even explicitly violent media. In fact, there is no evidence to suggest it causes violence.

>Vidya gaymes make you violent
How?
>They just do, ok?
This is extend of this retarded argument and it won't ever evolve beyond this

media causes violence if you are a sub iq degenerate
