It's the Daily Mail and another theory about videogames causing violence.

It has been proven. It is not a lie. You are deceiving yourself if you keep thinking people do not get aggressive while playing violent videogames. That is how the human mind works. Only a certain type of people, let us call them extraordinary people, do not feel aggressive if stimulated by violence. But most people are not extraordinary. You might agree with me when I phrase it "violent videogames agitate the player" because that sounds not as negative.Zachary Amaranth said:It's been proven that violent video games attract aggressive people. I'm not aware of any proof that playing violent video games actually causes aggression and I doubt you could find such proof.Satsuki666 said:I am not sure why you are complaining about the use of the term aggressive. It has already been proven that playing violent video games makes you more agressive. Trying to deny that is like trying to deny that water is wet.
Please, for the love of God, don't spread false statements. It just makes the lies easier to swallow.
Only because the News of the World is gone.Rawne1980 said:The Mail is the worst tabloid in the UK for shit like this.
The 638 page document in German, and you can't give us any footnotes?Jachwe said:It is Rita Steckel's book "Aggresionen in Videospielen: Gibt es Auswirkungen auf das Verhalten von Kindern?" published by Waxmann Verlag in Münster, New York, München, and Berlin in 1998.
So, you beating in Dragons in Skyrim is perfectly acceptable? It means you will attack any problem you see?On the bottomline the study says that the longterm effects of playing violent videogames for too long people will get desensitized and thus tend to more readily resort to violence because the desensitization removes an important antagonist of violent behaviour.

Everybody post what you think should be the next stock photo for violent videogames. I would post one myself but I forgot how to embed images.
Here's a fun story. When I at school, I must've been about 7, I had to do OT because I have dyspraxia which meant I had bad hand-eye coordination amoung other things. This was around the time we got our first family computer and my OT person said this "maybe you should try playing some video games? They could really help you with your coordination". They did.JesterRaiin said:Experiments that prove existence of postive impact of gaming on people. I find lack of them... disturbing. Why there's no serious talk about such experiments and their results ?
C'mon, we don't live in the black/white reality.
Thanks for a nice story.Phoenix Arrow said:(...) It's a pathetic attempt to sell papers by giving out of touch middle-aged people another reason to be scared of the modern world.
Well on that subject...teqrevisited said:If anything causes violence it is the Daily Mail. Tabloids lie just as much if not more than politicians.
Heeheehee. I LOVE it.jessegeek said:Yeah sorry guys, our bad. We try to keep these morons looked away on HMS "Mental-bigoted-gits", but they got out. We're sorry. As an act of contrition for polluting the world-wide-web with a bad case of Stupid, we promise to force our Prime Minister to punch himself in the face.
