The organization quotes various points from Walsh's paper, including, "Children are more likely to imitate a character with whom they identify with. In violent video games the player is often required to take the point of view of the shooter or perpetrator."

Once again people seem to be missing the point that THE FUCKING GAME IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. IT HAS AN 18 RATING FOR A FUCKING REASON. FUCK!

They'll be complaining that cars are dangerous for four-year-olds to drive next !

lolz very true but i watched/played 18 rated stuff when i was a kid (and still do now) an never felt compelled to act it out(consenting adults watching porn to get ideas doesnt count ). screwed up do gooders wanna ban everything cos they think people are like sheep that will copy everything they see but they seem to forget we had violence an serial killers b4 tv or videogames even existed.you cant make someone do something it isnt already in their nature to do.

Regardless of whether the science is correct, censorship of software or any other form of "art" should not happen when it's actually aimed at people who are mentally capable of handling the product. Why are there no pressure groups to get parents TO READ THE FUCKING BOX AND NOT BUY STUFF THAT'S UNSUITABLE FOR LITTLE FUCKING JIMMY?



Sorry, this issue gets me a little vexed.



edit: Never mind the fact that the game NEVER encourages you to murder prostitutes, it merely gives you the opportunity to. But then that was always what GTA was about - freedom to do whatever the hell you like. You have to be fucked enough in the head to pull over, hire a whore and fuck the shit out of her before paying up, letting her wonder off in to the forest while stalking her then battering her to death with a giant pink dildo.

The game never tells you to do this, if you do it - it's all you.

tenner that nath did that.

 

[nath]

Heck yeah, it gives me a semi.















Oh yeah, I do it in the game too - it inspired me.

Whenever I pulled over and picked up a prostitute in GTA I'd drive them to a nice secluded spot and nothing would happen, they refused to give me sexual relief, so I usually got them out the car and either run them over or battered them to death.

Now if I hired a prostitute in real life took them somewhere secluded and they refused me sexual relief you know what they would feel my wrath to, wasting my bloody time if they didn't want to pleasure me why did they let me drive all that way using my bloody petrol I could have been at home dling porn

 

[nath]

Clearly not secluded enough - they're very shy.

You must try getting the relief before battering the shit out of them, it's most satisfying.

Also: more lawsuits

As a friend of mine said:

America has very fucked up attitudes towards sex :/

 

[tris-]

the only people retarded enough to follow this are the people who get the feeling to do stuff in video games, irl. i reckon anyway.

really the only way they can say games make you do stuff, is if they r fucked enough to believe it will happen to them. otherwise why would it even cross their minds?

Also: more lawsuits

They should sue the people that sued Take Two about loss of earnings. Not Take Two themselves. Stupid shareholders!

Don't worry though kids. GTA may get taken of shelves, wouldn't stop anyone downloading it and playing it or buying a copy of eBay. Anyway, give it 10 years and it'll be some new form of entertainment that will be corrupting our kids. Just like it was video nasties 10 years ago and Dixon of Dock Green a few years before that
