To some degree this is a personal decision. Different people are affected differently by games. For some, it's a way to release pressures. For others, it sets patterns of thinking. I think this is one of those issues that each person has to decide for himself. Or herself if that person is female and playing a videogame, which I've heard happens but am not sure if I believe. Video games can be more dangerous than most media because they're immersive. It's one thing to watch someone on TV do some horrible thing. It's another to do it yourself, virtually. And these things can crop up in your life. I don't believe that violent games turn people into serial killers. The serial killers are attracted to violent video games because those games fit with their personality. However, violent video games can make a person a bit less caring, a bit more prone to lashing out, a bit more tolerant of others being violent, all without that person even noticing. I've dealt with that myself. When I was younger, I refused to play Black and White because I didn't believe it was a good idea. Now that I'm older I feel I'm able to handle it better. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not. |
