Can you read? I said that violence and blood within reason is fine, I play shooters and all that shyt too so of course I don't have a problem with that, but its irresponsible to act like games that make killing innocent people and replicating mass murder into a light-hearted spectacle aren't contributing to a larger problem at least in some capacity.
And I agree that a large and probably main culprit in all this is faulty parenting, but let's take an honest look at all aspects here is all I'm saying.
naw. you suggested banning games. thats stupid.

video games won the war obviously though
remember when "hot coffee" was a big issue for san andreas and then Rockstar games was all in court, i think they won if im not mistaken, and after that they released gta 4 which was the most wild game ever, bodies looked real when u shot them, looked real and violent when ppl got beat up, The hookers actually blew you, rode you in the car etc.
Its obvious they won the right to portray that stuff in video games, i think they must have used hollywood as an example of why the game violence is no different bc around the time that court case came out, movies like Saw, Hostile etc. were popular so they can't really say shyt about a game where 2 video game characters have sex when u got movies out there where ppl are cutting out eyeballs and smashing legs off and showing graphic scenes of torture and shyt.

Nobody every killed people in the 1950s

But if they did it was the video games fault

Yeah but then at the same time if we use that logic we can't really say anything to pro-gun advocates who use the same reasoning - "I've had guns all my life and never killed anyone"
I agree that its deeper than guns, video games, etc. But I think the question we need to start asking is why our society has become so obsessed with violence to the point where we are comfortable with it. Even with all these little kids dead, by new years nobody will be thinking about it....till the next massacre....then well just act surprised and outraged again, and nothing will change.

Oh word? GTA is just about mindlessly killing innocent people now? There's no plot whatsoever. It's just you push a button, and you strangle a baby. Press a different button, and you commit genocide. Gee, I must have missed that patch.
Kill yourself.

Lol. Some of you dudes are fukking illiterate.
I play violent video games, I'm about to beat far cry 3 right now which is pretty damn bloody.
I'm not laying the blame of every massacre in this country at the feet of the video game industry, I'm just being honest when I say that games that don't seem to think twice about letting you mow down pedestrians and pump old ladies full of bullets outside the frame of the plotline rub me the wrong way, and those feelings are amplified when some disturbed nut decides to turn that shyt into reality. Is it really irrational for me and others to feel that way? I understand you dudes wanna defend this hobby at all costs, but you won't lose cool points for recognizing what's obvious, I promise.

GTA wouldn't be nearly as popular a franchise if it weren't for the fact that unlike other games, it gives you the freedom to become a maniacal serial murderer in an ultra realistic setting. Hey, supply and demand, I get it...but if that's what the average gamer is demanding out of a videogame I have to sit back and smh.

to counter those video games would not be made if people did not buy them. Do you hold the game maker responsible or do you hold the consumer responsible who respond to these violent video games.

mass murder is the norm now?
Yes, it is. If it werent Obama wouldn't be interrupting Sunday night football to address it.
