It’s history repeating itself. Before Video game it was Dungeons and
Dragons being blamed, before D&D it was comics, before comics it was
movies…. Oddly enough i enjoy all of those things and i’m a very non
violent person
Blame the parents
video games don’t kill people,religion does!
So video games inspired Hitler to cause a genocide?
Video games don’t influence people to become violent, their stupidity does.
Man the violent fighters were a stress relief for me after school. Kept me
from going crazy
People with the capacity to kill will kill wether they grew up in a barn or
in front of a game console. Killers motives change but killers are
killers… Timmy from 1895 will kill Sam the neighbour because he wants his
rocking horse. Take the same kid and put him in 2015, same upbringing same
mental state. He will find another reason to kill because it’s just who he
is.
Oh yeah if the guy from Oasis says it it MUST be true. The moron knows
nothing.
These people had something very wrong already so they shouldn’t have been
exposed to the content.
As soon as mass media sees killing in a video game, they blame it on a
crime, claiming they “saw similarities”.
I’ve played a few FPS games and guess what, I don’t know how to turn off
the safety on a gun, nor do I own a gun.
I swear, as soon as they see that the killer plays video games they blame
that instead of looking into things like the family life, eventual bullying
etc
People should stop using video games as a scapegoat for violent crimes
committed. Since when is a game-pad or keyboard/mouse a good trainer for
real life guns?? There may be many violent video games now but violent
people have been around longer…….
