@Provocateur ?
Video games do (or will) cause violence!
It’s proven that repetitively doing something grotesque to others desensitizes an individual to violence. As brutal video games consistently become closer to real life, eventually they will start producing the same psychological effect. How do we know this hasn’t yet started?
Ben Larsen dude, are you just going around copying and pasting the same comment?
I played some WiiFit, now I wanna go WiiFit some bodies in a freezer
Glorious comment
My mom and dad still won’t agree to this even if I show them this.
i want to die
Same here
I suppose you are young. You'll grow up real fast at that age you when you will play games. They will be one regretting we could have could have made him happier.
I decided on this as my essay topic and my teacher looked at me weird as if I could possibly think they don't cause violence. tSk
Tell your parents you'll play game a bunch when you're an adult and not care about anything else

*THE ANSWER IS NO...*
*THE ENVIRONMENT IS ACTUALLY THE REASON WHY, A KID/PERSON IS VIOLENT, THE VIDEO GAMES DOESN'T AFFECT THAT MUCH....*
How is it the environment's fault?
@@AzureDefiance3701 I think he's referring to conditions such as either the person has bad parents or has a bad life cause they're either bullied in school or got depressed because of school, which is something I can 100% agree on since video game plays a really tiny role when it comes to a person being violence, their mental health is the biggest factor I'd say.
good job i agree with you
I think it's more like having the right maturity.
agreed :>

Kirby is never a cannibal because he never eats his own species.

And Orangutans (Waddle Dee)

Playing fortnite has had a dramatic effect on my behaviour. First I noticed becoming increasingly violent towards my peers. Second, I started having vivid dreams about victory royales and vbucks. Finally I woke up with unmatched building skills. I am now the most successful carpenter and architect in my country, and I have left my family and friends to lead a better, wealthier life designing and building skyscrapers for billionaires in Dubai.
I think I should just turn my ps4 off.

Parents will always be concerned about there kids but many studies failed to control for factors that contribute to children becoming violent, such as family history and mental health, plus most studies do not follow children over long periods of time. Video game experiments often have people playing a game for as little as ten minutes, which is not representative of how games are played in real life. In many laboratory studies, especially those involving children, researchers must use artificial measures of violence and aggression that do not translate to real-world violence and aggression, such as whether someone would force another person eat hot sauce or listen to unpleasant noises. The US supreme court ruled that violent games DO NOT cause the youth to act violently. In Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (2011) the US Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that California could not ban the sale of violent video games to minors. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the majority opinion that studies purporting to show a connection between violent video games and harmful effects on children "have been rejected by every court to consider them, and with good reason: They do not prove that violent video games cause minors to act aggressively." Of course people will be against games but they should know hat not all kids like school shooters, did what they did because of games and most of that research is flawed. Violent crimes decreased 37% and murders by juveniles acting alone fell 76% in that same period.The juvenile Violent Crime Index arrest rate in 2012 was 38% below 1980 levels and 63% below 1994, the peak year. Games do not MAKE you do something bad. Its up to how the person interprets this.
*Drops Mic*
I rest my case
Thanks guys this is something that I wrote about during highschool because I was sick of hearing people make claims that video games make people more violent.
Video games don't make me vicious slow wifi makes me viciously insane 😂😐
Kids that associate games to real life, don't have a life!
hapwn what about Minecraft🤷🏽♂️
Dre I wouldn't deem u being harmful to society!
That is why parents should be with them if they are able to play video games, and educate the reality of the situation compared to the fantasy of the said video game, as to not get the wrong idea.
When they are young what I mean, most all kids know the difference between fantasy and reality.
OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I had to do an essay on this 😭
Damian Yundt [Famous TH-cam Celebrity] yes Morty

What did you say in your essay. We're you like allowed to choose
Did you educate some ignorant middle aged adults? No offense to middle aged adults,just ignorant ones
These parents want to drive you away from the fact most violence is caused by bad parenting, and blame it on something else.
Parent: is it my lack of dicaplen and abuse to my child that he is a shooter? Na it's the video games
Mario definitely not. It's just addictive. 👍
Mario isn't violent, but yes

colin3ds, here's the solution the lack of apprenticeships! Just get people playing mario!
Oh, virtual cars! What a danger!
You know what gives me violent thoughts.... rude people. Selfish people. Mean people. BAD PEOPLE.
That violent video game I played was a way to distract myself and enjoy myself away from the shit people in this world.

@@finnlevy9508 Some people will complain over anything
My mom is the first to say these theories about videogames are bogus! Like she says "when you were kids it was Dragon Ball making you violent, when I was a kid it was TV in general. If a child is aggressive over these things it's because their parents just put them in front of a screen to shut them up instead of disciplining. That's not the game's fault"
This was never a debate
Well, it was but it was disproven

No it wasn’t. You are confusing a lack of evidence with being disproven. Video games do (or will) cause violence!
It’s proven that repetitively doing something grotesque to others desensitizes an individual to violence. As brutal video games consistently become closer to real life, eventually they will start producing the same psychological effect. How do we know this hasn’t yet started?

*you’re
If you have high level of consciousness then action video games can never affect your mind 😎😉
Lag and hackers make me angry more than any other thing in a game.
Fun fact I went to UTSA and one of my professors was one of the leading experts in video game psychology and his results were trending more toward the emotion (aggravation/satisfaction) and not the actually game itself - meaning violent games had no stronger effect on emotions than a difficult 8 bit game.
He rigged two games - each with the settings rigged to be unrealistically difficult and super simple for each game. He measured participants emotional states with surveys before and after the game play. Students who played then unbeatable games that seemed simple showed more aggressive emotions than the same game rigged to be easy...violent content played no role in the findings
Unless you’re mentally unstable or a young kid I don’t think you can become violent because of video games.
"For example, if I said the word 'yellow,' then asked you to name a fruit, you would say..."
LEMON!
"...bannana."
CRAP.
Haha I thought lemon too
One of my close relatives was murdered while she was babysitting a kid who had shot and killed people in video games and wanted to see how it felt in real life. So yes, in extreme cases, video games can lead to violence, but only as a very, very uncommon exception to the rule.
There must have been something wrong with the kid then I played violent games when I was little and I am living proof that they don't make kids violent. I've never even been in a fight before
Well, no, you are not a ''living proof'. Only because you are not affected by video games doesn't mean that nobody is.
How are u proof nothing happened to u? Besides😑 someone u were related to or I don't know u could be lying,
What a liar, LMAO.
Then there is something psychologically wrong with the kid. Not solely a causal relationship with playing the game. Someone's mental state could be playing a more vital part than the game that person plays, this is very true considering that most people don't have that reaction after playing a violent game. That's what the point of this video is. One can just easily blame the game a kid happen to have played while ignoring the true underlying psychological cause just because its the "easy" explanation... Also, I'm sorry to hear your loss.
