We're Gamers, So We're Violent.... Apparently.

December 10, 2010 in Blog comments 3

Game Podunk blogger, Dancurtis, writes his thoughts on how media portrays video games and associate the experience with violence. Read on for more....

This letter comes straight from the programme Lorraine Kelly Live in England which airs practically every weekday on ITV, a channel that is freely available to everyone who has a television set without subscription. Personally I find this absolutely disgraceful - it seems that the stigma against gamers and deeming us all violent psychopaths is determined to continue until gaming has been drummed squarely into the ground forever and ever. Give me a break. In fact give me the biggest break possible, because these claims between violence and games are complete utter and total nonsense.

    haha what a bias ass study/programe. Just the fact alone they where asking for "peoples lives effected by violent video games' shows its completely bias. If they said families with members that play video games constently that would be differnt. They could show both sides of teh spectrum

    When it comes to teenagers, we're easily smart enough to distinguish between real life and virtual life. It's the 10-year-old kids playing Modern Warfare who we should be concerned about, or rather their parents. Parents these days don't seem to take the ESRB seriously, and let their young children play games inappropriate for them.

    Kids of ages around 10 are highly impressionable, so they shouldn't be playing those kinds of games, at least not yet anyway.
