A topic that I must bitch about: Parents Complaining about videogame violence.
<< < (5/6) > >>
Rughugger:
I actually used that line from the GTA talk radio when the girl was complaining about her guy's problem with detracting from his beloved game on an ex of mine. "Two damage! Two damage! Check that ass in the air troll, I'm about to pull aggro" Needless to say, she wasn't impressed, nor did she understand what I was referring to, but I told her it was just too tempting to try just to see her reaction. Still brings a tear of joy to my eye to this day.

They just blame the games cause they can't think of anything else

True.

Video games don't make kids violent, it just gives them ideas.
DrMobius:
The Penn and Teller thing in the last topic about summed it all up.  Too bad those were removed from youtube.  But basicly, violent games are just somewhere to place the blame for things that were already a problem before video games.  No one complains about the occasional football related deaths in schools but when someone shoots up a school, people see the XBox in his room and immediately blame it.  But a game console is a household item so shouldn't every kid be violent now?  I think that it comes down to parenting. 
JJA0:
Yes my mom is insane about violence in any videogames. I was in a dm in Blockland once and there was shooting and she started asking me physiological questions like if I would like to kill people when I was older. Wtf? Really if a kid is going to kill someone video games only help them think of flashier ways to do it. They would a done it anyway at some point the videogames just gave them an idea of how to do it.
