New Study: Most Teenagers are Unaffected by Violent Gaming

[Deofuta]

"This just in, it appears that the professors who developed this 'paper' have, in fact, played games at one time or another! Thus being infected, their papers have been thrown out."

Fox news, calling it.

We've only been saying this for how long..

Ya but at least somebody said it from a position of "authority" instead of us poor maladjusted gamers. *sigh*

I do like that the person specifically said that people aren't blank slates thus the Devil Made Me Do It excuse is weak. Rapists buy porn but porn doesn't make rapists. The reason that rapists buy porn as opposed to the reason the normal guy buys porn is what makes him a rapist.

Sorry, this is one of my pet internet fights and thus I am a little too happy to have more ammo. So you get your choice of hug, fist bump, or high five to help me celebrate.

Maybe this one will have some impact.

We can only hope at this point. Maybe I can point this study out to my mother so she can shut up when video games come up when I visit.

 

[aguywhoknowsaguy]

Ha! Take that Atkinson pressing a button to kill pixels doesn't make us psychos. Proof other than everyone calling you an idiot.

 

[Ham_authority95]

*claps slowly*

Finally, someone actually took the time to prove the obvious.

 

[pineapplewizzard]

I am deeply shocked and disturbed by this, are you saying something old men who have no experiance of the topic but feel its their right to say its bad with little information or justification have been less than truthful to us, and indeed the people acctually experiancing this and having no symptoms and the only agression that is caused is towards the people making ths study for being so patronising and biased were correct. I am shocked.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Took long enough...

 

[LightspeedJack]

Thank god a report is finally coming out and saying what those of us with what's known as "common sense" have been screaming for years.

So, who wants to bet that the anti-videogame media will claim this study is methodologically wrong?


Well, this is good news, I guess. Maybe we'll get some rest now.

I'd be willing to take that bet and I will win. For you to win they will have to acknowledge this study in the first place. They won't make any attempts of disproving it. They will simply ignore it and keep spouting how games are the root of all evil. And if someone does bring it up they will just stick thier fingers in thier ears and yell NAH NAH NAH just like they always do.

 

[Lexodus]

All I can say is "hah, screw you, mum."

 

[nick n stuff]

that's what i've been trying to tell you guys

 

[Flamezdudes]

NO WAY! HOLY SHIT, who didn't tell me earlier? (Sarcasm off)

Are the general public this dumb? Of course it doesn't affect people that much unless you have some serious problems.

 

[Canid117]

I would like to sum up my feelings in as articulate and eloquent manner as possible...


SUCK IT JACK!!!!!!!!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Now that there is scientific backup to it, all I can say is... TOLD YOU SO!

 

[Booze Zombie]

Well, I already knew that... but I do suppose it's nice to have it written down so all the anti-game zealots don't really have much left to stand on, not that their crumbling island of sensationalism was very stable to begin with, mind you.

 

[(whitty name here)]

*sigh*

why do we research this?

everyone already knows this if they've actually played games like this at one point or another.....

 

[USSR]

Hmm..

New Study: Scientists can sure cancer, but too focused on miscellaneous topics.

Naah, they'll never buy it <.<

 

[Harkwell]

I think more studies would reveal that the current generation of media consumers are better able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality than our parents are.

Very true... if they could figure out how to work the controllers.

*Pulls poke ball from pocket* LOGIC I CHOOSE YOU!

Other team picks Fox News
You use "This paper", it's not very effective.
They use "Paper's wrong, cause it doesn't agree with us", it's super effective.
The finish you off with "Gamers must have threatened this man to say this, showing they are violent"

We need to train up our logic to beat the amount of idiocy on their team
