The War Against Video Games

I lost 30,000 games in the blink of an eye.... And the media just fucking watched. Share this video if you love gaming and you're not a violent murderer <3

"He was trained to kill in Call of Duty" Wait till he hears about the army

After playing Minecraft for 2 hours, I’m now a supporter of mass deforestation

I think the dumbest thing about the whole "effect on my children" argument is that the PARENTS are responsible for their kids not the government or video game producers & publishers.

Makes me feel real lucky I grew up in a house that wasn’t controlled by fear mongering news. My dad was buying me shit like Mafia 2, GTA 4, Call of Duty and the Scarface game when I was only like 9 or 10 and would usually sit there watching the stories as I played like it was a movie. He usually just thought games were hilarious and fun to watch. He even use to play online splitscreen in CoD with me and would sometimes play solo, he never quite understood how to play, but thought it was a fun time

“He was trained to kill... by Call of Duty.” Do they realize how insulting that is to our military?

the only thing watch dogs taught me was to not trust ubisoft.

I had a foster father who would lock my video games up and tell me that they rot your brain. He told me to read the Bible. I would come home from school where I was bullied all week and on Saturday he would let me play for one hour on the weekend if I did chores. I literally had to earn every second of game time. On Sunday he would force me to go to church and the kids in the youth group would bully me. I always looked forward to Saturday cause I could be alone and not be bullied for one day of the week. I hated him for what he put me through. To this day he tries to contact me and preach every time I talk to him. Constantly telling me 'you seem to be doing well" you should read the Bible". I'm like why are u calling me all the time you kicked me out and still think ur in charge of my life.

Religious anti gamers: DOOM are the work of the devil! DOOM: literally killing the devil and dunking on him "Those who have faith in the Lord, do not fear the Devil"

The anonymous hackers, yeah they learned all of that from watch dogs. All you have to do is hold X.

If video games cause violence, then the medieval period must've been the most peaceful time ever 😂

I actually believe video games like doom can calm someone's nerves You can just imagine someone's face over a demon you rip to pieces and be calmed down

If call of duty turns people into killers, then playing FIFA would make me a professional football player, playing F1 racing would make me an F1 racer, playing medal of Honor would make me a real Navy Seal, playing street cricket would make me win a world cup for my country and playing LA Noire would make me a real police detective.

Just because I flirt with a girl in a visual novel doesn't mean I can actually talk to them.... God I'm so fucking sad

I LOVE GEARS OF HALO THEFT AUTO 5!!!

“Lag causes violence” “Us Australians know this better than anyone else.”

I know this is old but I loved watching this. I'm a 50 year old gamer. I have been gaming since the 80s. I also have a degree in psychology and I work with many people who suffer with mental illness. In my very early 20s, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I was out of reality for a while and worked hard to get back. It's not perfect but I'm doing what I couldn't do back then. I love video games. Halo, Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, Mass Effect, GTA, etc. Not once...not a single time...did I ever feel an inkling of an urge to hurt anyone, especially kill anyone. We use video games in some of our therapy. Co-op gaming helps a lot of people improve, despite the content. To create a killer, it's not ever just one thing that causes it. It's a perfect storm of genetics, socio-economic status, relationships, access to weapons, and so much more have to all go horribly wrong. Video games may be a piece of that, but only if the others exist. As you said, correlation does not equal causation.

The greatest Christian game I have ever played was Doom.

Video games don't cause violence, lag does

There's a quote I love from scream "Now Sid, don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!" It shows that movies and games can be to blame for the way the crime was committed but the act of violence itself only is brought forward by people with mental illness.
