Do Violent Video Games actually make people Violent?

drinking pepsi makes you a killer because the honor students drank pepsi

literally every study has come to the conclusion that video games do not cause violence

[Aware]

Who doesn't play mainstream violent video games? There is a large percentage of people who play violent video games that don't go around on killing sprees, and not every Flash Mober is completely sane.

I am just trying to say that a lot of the time the games cause the mental instability. It is the parents fault for providing these games to little kids at young ages especially when the kid has a troubling emotional problem.

I've been rockin' with Guitar Hero since Jesus was born.

I didn't say they were right or wrong though, however if proven by scientists and brain-researchers I would guess that they are right.

that guy who shot up the aurora theater played guitar hero as his main video gaem, you must be a murderer.

Funny, I've been playing violent games for 9 years. If anything happen over those 9 years its that I dont have a bad temper anymore and I argue with my mom less and yea

Almost never is it the game itself. Instead, it is the lack of IRL discipline for the person playing the game. If there is no discipline, it is more likely that they'll be playing the game in the first place; however, this does not mean that if you play th game, you lack discipline.

I think it really depends on the age, more like the way people see it.

For example, a 12 year old kid sees certain games as a estimulant, like a role model. They want to  BE just like that certain super hero or even the villian in more specific cases.

A 21 year old views the game as a form is de-stress, which means he just wants to have fun and stop thinking of the problems' he's got in life.

so yeah if a certain hero does super violent things to those whom are seen as villians, sure the 12 year old kid might forge his personality based on that hero.

Studies actually show that people who don't play violet video games hold in their anger and tend to be more violent.

There's this youtuber who has been playing GTA V and began freaking out on this one mission because he could relate I guess.

Here's the video. But if you don't wanna be spoiled I guess you shouldn't click the link.

Oh, and he's drunk.

[Night Fox]

no
I used to play bf3 all the time but all that did was increase my fascination with military stuff
I now have been playing saints row 4 but I've still never beat someone up with a carrot
or at all for that matter. my sister is literally the only person I've ever hit and it's only happened when she does it to me first. even when other people have hit me I didn't do anything back. sure it's wimpy and whatever, but hey, I'm not violent

It really depends on the person. My first rated M game was Halo, and I played it when I was 4. My parents knew that I knew the difference between real life and virtual reality. Today, I'm not an aggressive person, and I could care less if someone called me a cigarette.

But in other people, it could act as a trigger or an influence, like really stupid children and the mentally unstable.

Tell your parents that they're only getting this stuff from the media, who for some reason like to blame random stuff, and that if they're afraid of you doing something horrible, they should focus on getting firearms away from you around the house.

[ChexGuy331]

and I could care less if someone called me a cigarette.

that means you care quite a bit
