[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly believe that there is a connection with violent video games and actual violence. This also explains why more boys commit violent crimes - violence is so normal to kids that spend hours blowing up and shooting virtual people. [/quote] This is another right-wing taking point. I think the research shows no relationship between violent video games and mass shootings or murders, but maybe I’m wrong.[/quote] You are sort of wrong. Violent video games have been shown to have a desensitizing effect and that's not terribly surprising. That's mainly the reason one drills for certain activities. Firefighters are an example. They may be desensitized to the peril of an actual fire event. However, that doesn't make firefighters arsonists. I am curious what people think is the solution if male children are inherently defective. This appears to be contradicted by the millions that didn't kill their parents in the last month.[/quote]
