The reason that video games DO NOT cause violence!

[bermuda]

Ever since there is an incedence of a shooting by children or young adults, people are always blaming video games. I personally play violent video games [i/all the time!] Here's two main reasons this shouldn't be a thing:

Since 1996, video game sales have completely skyrocketed, yet gun-violence has stayed the same the whole time.


Say, you're playing on your newfangled PS4, and you are playing some hard level on whatever game you're playing. Now, you get really made and throw your controller on the couch. You are showing aggresion. Should the ban the PS4, NO! Gun-violence is aggresion, and people say it correlates to violent video games, they should not ban violent video games, or blame anything on them!

meh, the leading cause of violence is because people these days don't know how to properly channel their agression and frustration.

Agreed. Violent people are attracted to violent games, rather then the other way round.

Actually no. There's quite enough violent people who don't play video games at all, let alone violent games. And gamers playing violent games usually are less opt to use violence in real life simply because they can enjoy their virtual outlet.

It's mainly about dealing with problems.
There's several creative ways to deal with issues, it just depends on how you let it go.
For instance those horror paintings from "raw emotions" etc. Or even punk for instance, which is a musical way to release stress...

I just get the feeling people these days are overly stressed and don't deal with it... then again, society is in such a hurry people don't know if they're behind or ahead of themselves anymore.
