Hikage1983: Let me tell you from observing my own self then. Doom did not make me go buy a double barreled shotgun in search of hellspawn and the vast number of anime games and eroge i have completed have not turned me into a sexual deviant either in all my decades of life.
i am well aware of the violence of this world. Difference is, i do not blame videogames for it. or any other media for that matter. Humans have the choice to be good or evil. I do not assume moral guardianship over anyone.
richlind33: You're talking like you think there's a single cause for it. There isn't. There are a multitude of reasons for why we are where we are, and desensitization is one of them. No, violent videogames didn't turn you into a serial killer, but no credible psychologist has ever claimed that they do. That's a strawman used by industries that have profited enormously from peddling media saturated with violence, because just like sex, violence also sells lots and lots of product.
All of this relates to brain chemistry as well, not just psychology. Loot boxes are another way to maximize the maximization of profits that have long since passed the point of being obscene.
TheGrimLord: Another fucking threat? That's all you've got. But you're just a punk behind a keyboard.
richlind33: It's a promise, not a threat.
No sir, it's a threat and it needs to not be posted on this site. We need to stop this crap right now before we both get banned. I don't even know who the hell you are and there is no changing your opinion on this. Period. There is no way that any of us here can EVER change your opinions on this material. Everyone needs to just calm the fuck down.
