wading in late

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's some truth to what that anon was saying. It's not a single factor, but violent video games and media has definitely had a hand in creating a culture of violence and degrading the fantasy/reality divide.

Personal anecdote time! I work with kids. I've worked with kids for years. There has been a problem rising in the past...5-10 maybe? years where kids are A. lacking imagination and B. way more violent and lacking empathy. And the kids that are the worst, are the kids that are allowed to play video games and watch movies that are not appropriate for their age - all the war and fps and violent ones. Every. Single. Time. We can pretty much pinpoint which kids are taking in violent media vs the kids that are taking in child-appropriate media just by observing them at this point.

Do I think video games or media are solely responsible for these things? No. Do I think all of these violent little hellions will turn into murderers or adults with completely warped psyches? No. But I can definitely tell you that the violence in the media, that includes cartoons and video games, has definitely had a hand in changing the social structure and culture.

As to your original post, yeah, it's bullshit. This dude was nuts. And it sucks that they still tend to go "it's 'cause of video games!" when I think a more compelling argument would be on the rise of social media and viral celebreties etc. I don't really think that's it either, but I think they'd have a stronger argument if they went that way.
