Search Results: age is an issue

This question has probably been asked tons of times before.

Bringing it up now cause of Trumps actions to speak to video game execs about the violence in games. Instead of dealing with the real issue.

Video games have been used throughout the last 30 or more years as a scapegoat for violence in society. Whenever there's any debate. Politicians love to go after video games.

I have been gaming since 3. All my life. So you may feel I have some bias. Which I might. But let me just say. My opinion is no. They do not cause people to be violent...

But, and this is the only leeway I give it. This applies to movies, books, anything really. They can influence an ALREADY disturbed individuals thoughts and they could do something awful.

Now to be clear this is NOT the movies or the games or the books fault. They hold 0 responsibility.

That person as I stated is usually already unstable. Emotionally or mentally and they might have stuff trigger them more than others.

So that's the only link I can admit to. Despite it being insanely rare. Someone who is already disturbed can be triggered by any form of violence.. And that's on them. Not the product.

Now I personally believe 10 year olds shouldn't be playing GTA. Even though I was. But don't need to be 18 either. I say 13 or older would be an okay age.

So parents blaming games for there 6 year old swearing and wanting to mimic the fighting game. That's on them. Kids mimic everything they see.

Now I've rambled enough. I like to hear others opinions.
