COT DAMN!!! Video Games are in the Cross Hairs

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

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.

This debate was had after Columbine :smugobama: look who won. You can't stop video games or violence in them.

I played Counter-Strike when I was 10 years old, I played all types of violent shyt. I grew up playing Mortal Kombat and fatalities. I'm sorry, its NOT HARD to separate REALITY from a GAME. They're two completely different things! They're not even remotely the same.

Again, we're talking about censoring things from the masses because of a few insane people.

You're just scared.


What exactly is "obvious"? games have a rating system. Mature is for 18+. They have a rating system. Not our fault parents don't give a fukk. :smugobama:

Yes, it is. If it werent Obama wouldn't be interrupting Sunday night football to address it.

because your football game is interrupted you think it is the norm?



go the the middle east, congo, Sudan or any war torn country you play in Call of duty and decided if we have a mass murder problem.

 

[STAN JONES]

how bout they do this....... holding the parent or parents responsible? just a thought. shyt the dude that used to babysit the shooter said the mother told him never turn your back on him not even for a second!

How about no

Dude was a grown ass man, why the fukk should his parents be held responsible for what he did

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.

But there exist popular games that aren't like that. You can become a serial murderer in an imaginary setting as well! I kid, but seriously, if GTA wasn't the way it was, people like you wouldn't try to use it as a scapegoat. It's not that people are becoming more violent ... violence is in our nature. There were mass murders before this medium of entertainment, and there will continue to be. What evidence is there that suggests this game, or any others, have directly led to incidents like this?

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.

Truthfully? The consumer. See my last post. The industry isn't complaining though, I'll tell you that much...that's why they can keep churning out these trash bag shooters and people will eat it up as long as they can satisfy their thirst for blood and violence. Its so demonic.

That's kind of the point bruh. This country is supposed to be above all that. We aren't a war torn country or ravaged with abject poverty, so we don't have the excuses those countries you mentioned have. Its something else.

if your problem is with the consumer then why go after the producer? By your own admission these problem would not go away with the video game. Just because you deny the existence of violence does not mean it does not exist or will not happen.

Or are you just upset that we are addressing our violent culture on sunday night football?

A few individuals going on killing spree is not an epidemic(3 this year?). Not even close.

Why did you question video games and not our gun laws?

How about no

Dude was a grown ass man, why the fukk should his parents be held responsible for what he did

um because they were supposed to raise him and apparently from my previous post the mother knew something was up. and 2. I wasn't just singling out the shooter who knows how many kids out there planning something similar because they parent or parents are out kicking it, too busy at work and/or just plain don't care "oh lil johnny or jane is just going thru a phase, they'll be alright" fukk THAT! if I see a lil toddler sniffin or eating that little jar of crusty ass paste in kindergarden class I'm getting them evaluated. The shooter was just an example, they're trying to go after videogames because of this travesty and plus the guns the shooter used were being stockpiled by his mother, now she knew something was wrong with him WHY IN DA fukk WOULD YOU KEEP A ARSENAL IN THE HOUSE????!!!!!!

So you don't think anything is out of whack with all these mass shootings that have been occurring in this country?

And I'm questioning everything. If video games are your sacred cow I don't know what to tell you.

this will be over by new years

Unfortunately...this

Or February, at the latest

Games like GTA where its nothing but sick and mindless violence without a purpose need to be curbed if not banned outright.

Blood and gore within a scope of reason is OK but the way some of these games just cater towards the bloodlust that a lot of these losers who play videogames seem to have is disturbing.

I won't disrepect you, but, dude; actually read some literture on violent video games

It won't take long to find out they aren't makin' people violent

Please, do a search

That is how stupid this country is, ban video games but not the tools used in the shootings, America!

 

[MidniteJay]

This country is supposed to be above all that.

Let's cut that sanctimonious bull, breh. This country wouldn't be a moral paragon anyway even if games were taken out the picture.

Its something else

And it ain't video games. Look at Japan and some parts of the UK who get the same violent video games and media as Americans do with similar ratings systems. They don't see the kind of spree shootings we got happening over here But notice how some of those places have much stricter gun laws. They don't make it easy for fukked up civilians to kill a lot of folks.

You're pointing finger at the wrong issue. It's batshyt insane folks who have easy access to murk people.

seems to me the assault rifle made the difference here.

Also video games are not part of the problem but a symptom of or violent nature. violence and sadly violence like the school shooting has existed in our world for a very long time.
