Oh great, somebody that doesn't understand stats.
You know what else having access to violent video games correlates with that might be a bit more important than the video games themselves? Material wealth and higher standard of living. What happens to correlate with material wealth and higher standard of living? Less crimes of every single type.
Also I don't agree with the way the body is being sexualized in the comment above mine, but there is a serious problem, still, with sexualization of characters that explicitly look like children but are "totally a 200 year old vampire bro". This is especially true of anime and video games with anime-inspired artwork. I'm not saying that all video games or animes are like this. Nor am I saying that all gamers and anime fans are closet pedos. What I am saying is that there's serious problems in these communities that must be addressed. The pushback in spite of my non-condemnation of the whole is kinda hilarious. I do understand how my first comment could be misinterpreted.
Never thought I'd get into an argument where somebody thought sexualization of minors was a good thing though, so I guess that's a new experience at least.
We had you people try this shit in the 1990s.
Violent media does not cause violence.
Pornographic media does not cause sex crimes.
Get the fuck back to your southern Baptist Church and leave the nonreligious alone. Stop pretending you give a shit about kids, you just want to push your weird little religion on everyone.
I am not religious...
You, on the other hand, are very good at making up arguments to put in my mouth.
Bye bye now
Byebye religious nut, hope you get better soon. The world is better when you stick to Facebook.
Bye bye closet pedo!
