I Am Monkey (01/26/2013) [-] Hear me out here; I actually want them to put a label on games that says "Warning: May cause violent behavior". Why? Because you'd have to be a fucking idiot to believe it. You know who are fucking idiots? The parents buying their 11 year old Rated M games. This might actually help combat the massive influx of little kids in gaming.
Little kids are ruining the industry for the rest of us. Developers these days are selling out left and right because their they're realizing that their fans aren't nearly as profitable as middle schoolers with unlimited access to their parents wallets. More and more were seeing beloved franchises destroyed by dumbed down casual shit that panders to 7th graders with no motor skills. You think it's a coincidence that Call of Duty is the highest selling franchise of all time and is infested with squeakers. Nope. They were the first ones to go for the low hanging fruit of tween gaming, they hit the jackpot and now all the other developers are trying to do the same. The only way were going to keep gaming for gamers is to find a way to keep the little kids out.

tkfourtwoone (01/26/2013) [-] Same argument as in the pic.
Back then games were made by gamers, for gamers. Do you think that John Carmack and John Romero thought that teenagers would be so incredibly retarded to be inspired by DOOM?!

filipstumpy (01/26/2013) [-] I see your point, and I actually think it's a good point. I just don't want this law to make it so that I can't buy my games. (I'm over the M rated line)
And the fact that video games in general are less about the good gameplay, story telling and atmosphere is also recognizable, because shit apparently sells better... I guess people in general just like shit in their face.

grizzlydiplomat (01/26/2013) [-] >implying the violence in games, gore, sexually explicit scenes, etc., are meant for kids and older people only play them because they played them as kids.

awesomenessdefined ONLINE (01/26/2013) [-] Yes, because the first video games that ever came out were gore sexuality and explicit scenes.
And I didn't imply that, I straight up said that. Older people only play video games because they played them as kids.

I Am Monkey (01/26/2013) [-] When I was in 8th grade I played Metroid and Pokemon, not Rated M shooters calling everything that moves a "fucking faggot". It wasn't always like this. This started a few years ago when the Wii was dying down. All the kids jumped ship and bought an xbox. It had been trending toward that for a while, but it really got bad that Christmas with the migration of the Wii users and the launch of Modern Warfare 2.
The problem is that little kids don't want little kid games anymore, they want Rated M games. So the Rated M industry now has to market to little kids without directly saying so. So now we've got to share our half of the pool with the little kids and suffer for it.

awesomenessdefined ONLINE (01/26/2013) [-] Because M rated games didn't exist at the time. The only reason they exist now is because older gamers want them. And kids are kids, they'll buy what's popular, that's how they act. They call you a faggot because the first time they come online that's all they here, and they adapt.
Kids get M rated games now because they are a lot more fun than those boring mario party bullshit games. You can't get mad at them, no one makes any good kids games anymore, and they have to do something. The world isn't suited to kid gamers.

ninjastarthrow (01/26/2013) [-] I agree, I have a PS3 and not as many kids play on it but we do get our fair share from time to time. My mom used to buy my little brother these games until I showed her what happens in them and how to tell how bad they are. She stopped and he is forced to play Mario games on the Wii until he turns 17. He's so mad about it but I don't care. I also told her about him calling everything that moves a faggot and I told her why he started doing that. She looks at game ratings now before she gets them for him. Most parents wont do that, they just buy it so their kids don't bother them.

dillard1 (01/26/2013) [-] Actual quote from Connecticut Senator about Sandy Hook "Maybe if he didn't play games he would never know how to use it?"
Yep... Someone that is 22 and never played video games doesn't know how to use a gun...

kreekydoorS (01/26/2013) [-] Another actual Quote from current Connecticut Senator about Sandy Hook Incident "I think there’s a question as to whether he would have driven in his mother’s car in the first place if he didn’t have access to a weapon that he saw in video games that gave him a false sense of courage about what he could do that day."

supamonkey (01/26/2013) [-] If you want to ban violent video games because they produce violence in gamers, you'll also have to ban violence in movies, tv shows, books, comics, music and stop people from joining the army, the police, gangs and contact sports teams....

N. Korean citizen (01/26/2013) [-]
Stupid chinese. Why would people even elected this guy? I fucking hate chinese. they are racist, close-minded, old-fashioned, chauvinistic etc. Everywhere they stay, they need chinatown. Chinatown is everywhere, you named it. LA California, Orlando Florida, DC, Arizona, Arkansas, Chicago, Georgia, New York...almost every city in America. They have very extreme fanatical patriotism towards China, the motherland and race. They are not loyal, suspicious and looking down towards other races. Imagine if other people behaving like that. In NYC we might have Nigeriatown, SouthAfricatown, Lebanesetown, Iraqitown, Mexicantown. At least other people are not like Chinese. This is the reality, just ask people who ever dealt with them. Fucking chinese.
Oh, there is an opinion here, lets thumb him down.

aerosol (01/26/2013) [-] I hate it how "the kinds of people" who enjoy video games are still stereotyped as "frustrated social misfits with secret longings for power over others in whatever twisted and demented forms they can get it"(Ben Crowshaw, 2013, Zero Punctuation, Escapist Magzine). Just because people are interested in something that has a moderate focus on violence, doesn't mean they immediately feel the need to immitate it.
I apalogize if did that citation incorrectly.

cancerousiguana (01/26/2013) [-] Not trying to make an argument against violent videogames, but this is sort of related:
You ever play GTA for a few hours then go drive somewhere and get stuck in traffic?
I can't be the only one who gets the urge to drive through other cars, up on the sidewalks, through people, etc.
I mean, I would never do it, but sometimes I'm sitting in my car watching myself do it to pass the time.

HeartOfTheDL (01/26/2013) [-] There are two parts of the human though the impulse and then the moral reasoning that stops the impulse. Everyone gets that impulse to do something that isn't lawful such as smacking an annoying bitch on the train. However that maybe just the impulse part of your thought and the you stop to think about how terrible and how much trouble you'll get for doing so.
It is that reasoning that we all don't just go and kill everyone the pisses us off. And those that act on impulse disregards the reasoning part of their thought process. I can't remember where i read or watch the impulse thing about might have been vsause or some article.
This also can be applied to sane people owning guns. They aren't going to instantly shoot someone because they know the consequences of doing so. You'll have to have a conscious decision to actually carry out what unlawful/immoral impulse (pretty much you'll not be right in the head).

kreekydoorS (01/26/2013) [-] right there. you would never do it. why won't you do it? why won't you fuck hookers then repeatedly run them over to get your money back? why don't you just blow up every car on the road? Simple answer, because you are sane. Which leads me to believe it's not the video games causing the issue. It's the people who are just not right in the head.

coolcalx (01/26/2013) [-] ...except the statement in this post is correct.
a gamer would NOT have any credibility in an argument about video games due to his or her own personal bias.
kind of like an alcoholic should have no credibility about whether or not alcohol is bad for you.
or how a pot head should have no credibility about marijuana legalization. (because, of course he wants it legalized. he's going to be biased as fuck)
or how a pedophile should have no credibility about what constitutes child pornography.
these decisions should be made by third party non-partisan and non-biased groups or individuals.

Or like letting homosexuals vote on gay rights. Or letting women vote on the illegality of abortions. Or like letting people vote for politicians. (because, of course voters are going to choose their own party. they're going to be biased as fuck)
No way we should let people have input on issues relevant to them. That would be a disaster.

coolcalx (01/26/2013) [-] gay rights is a legality issue. bias has nothing to do with constitutional rights, and the 14th amendment is pretty damn clear about it. (we just have to get rid of the DOA, which is going to take place soon)
electoral voting is laid out in the constitution, and believe it or not, if the electorates believe that the voters fucked up, they can vote for someone else. that's how they prevent idiots from deciding the elections.
try again.

thatguywhohasbacon ONLINE (01/26/2013) [-] Those "Idiots" are the american people. The electoral college completely negates the effect of a democracy in which everyone votes because if the people in power disagree with who you voted for they could just vote for somebody else and their votes matter more.

wanagoloco (01/26/2013) [-]
please realize that there is no unbiased party. If a person does not partake of pot for example they have already decided that it is not worth it for them to do so if not totally wrong. Much like a person who chooses not to drink, or of course play video games. you either drink or you don't, smoke pot or you don't, play games or you don't. There is no I somewhat do some of these things but not really so therefore I'm neutral.......someone saying that is likely so indecisive they would never choose one way or another anyway. at that point the only third party people of neutral placement would be those who had absolutely no idea what the object of debate was so that they couldn't form a biased to it. it would basically be a lottery for a decision. That is why the system requires a consensus from both sides of the bias in order to appear neutral.

coolcalx (01/26/2013) [-] I don't drink because I don't want to. I don't care if someone else drinks. I AM neutral when it comes to alcohol.
I don't smoke pot because I don't want to. I am neutral, and I support legalization because it would 1.) increase revenue (not by much) and 2.) it would be safer for the smokers
I do play video games though, so you're right, I'm not neutral about them, however I recognize that fact.
however you are completely wrong in your final statements: if you want to find out something, you conduct a blind study. science is not biased, it is based on facts and evidence.

Yojimbo (01/26/2013) [-] Truly a stupid argument. People can draw violent inspiration from anywhere because violence is everywhere. Movies, TV, games, books, comics, the news, even nature. Trying to pin it on one thing is ridiculous. Surprised Mortal Kombat didn't get a shout out like it usually does when people blame video games for violence.
