re: #293 dragonath

I’ve kind of fell out of video gaming because so much of it is a variation of shoot-this/kill-that. The medium itself has a lot of potential, but it’s amazingly shallow.

If we’re willing to agree that (demonstratively false) Fox News rhetoric leads to violence, I don’t know why there’s this reflexive defensiveness that claims simulated images of violence don’t matter.

Honestly, I don’t even think Japan is a very good counter example because they have a sky-high suicide rate.

It’s not reflexive defensiveness.
It’s just the facts. Study after study has shown no correlation between violent media and crime.
