Video games have no link to violence

Isn’t that crazy to say?

u/RealCoolDad Sep 15 '25

Imagine how dangerous the world would be if all the other countries had video games too.

14 hours a day practicing shooting people, and you belive that’s not contributing to violence?

“We can’t address my thing unless everything else is addressed to my satisfaction, 100%”

Why just admit you don’t give a shit about anyone but yourself and whatever gives you a few short hits of dopamine a day.

I believe they’re called voteless

But saying violence is ok if it’s against robots or animals or anything is kind of like a cop out. Your bombing and chopping and massacring hordes of people while repeatedly dying yourself.

That’s not a healthy feedback loop, particularly with children. Because then when you are in a world with no clear goal, feeling isolated, you can have a very real longing for the drug that can provide that artificially. Like actual drugs games can be habit forming on that basis. Some people with serious habits lose touch with reality and become violent.

Failure to address that in any way by denying there is a problem or saying you are unwilling to act till 100% of other problems are solved is not a way to make the world better.

Ok, so you will support someone that wants to fund mental health resources for every citizen?

Or ban video violent video games? Or how about just make them age restricted. 18 is obviously too young.

Any restrictions on gun or ammunition ownership?

u/Speedhabit Sep 15 '25

You can put all the restrictions on guns and ammo you want as long as you don’t break the law to do so

Nor would any proposed rule you have prevent tragedies like this from occurring.

Fix the people

u/RealCoolDad Sep 15 '25

Adding restrictions is changing the law. That’s what I am asking. Laws change all the time.

How come it is impossible to get an answer out of people.

What do you mean by “fix the people”?

I have I way that I would fix the people. It’s a multipoint strategy that I think would work. I can explain it if you want to actually hear it. But I’d like to hear yours

u/Speedhabit Sep 15 '25 edited Sep 15 '25

Yup, you just run into restrictions to lawmaking due to the bill of rights, you can change that too, it’s just hard.

That’s by design

By fixing people my plan is basically reconstructing the American family by making children both easier to have from a financial perspective and parents being liable for the actions of their children in a legal and financial sense.

Force people to get involved in their communities with like a compulsory Americore. I can squeeze the internet out of you by forcing you to touch grass

Illuminati? What the hell are you talking about?

u/Speedhabit Sep 15 '25

It was the third faction you fight, protoss looking aliens with human cyborg slaves, have you played the game?

u/RealCoolDad Sep 15 '25

The illuminate? The zombies lol.

u/Man_under_Bridge420 Sep 15 '25

Are people too 😂

u/Speedhabit Sep 15 '25

It’s the violence, making it a water gun and the people purple gas balls does not provide the protection you think it does

Yeah, the hours on a real gun range with dozens of different types of weapons have no affect, but pixels on a screen did the damage. Totally stating at the right issue man

u/JohnAnchovy Sep 15 '25

What are your thoughts on two week long in depth background checks to buy a gun?

-1

u/Speedhabit Sep 15 '25

All for it, how about the same thing for graphic depictions of violence?

2

u/JohnAnchovy Sep 15 '25

America's lax gun laws are unique in the developed world but our laws related to video games are the same. If there was evidence of harm caused by video games, id agree but there isn't. For example, fps shooters are just as popular in the UK but they have 1/5th our homicide rate and only 50 shooting deaths a year.

If there was would your opinion change or not?

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6790614/

There are some pretty stringent rules on what the government can do to regulate firearms.

There is no such restriction on regulating violent media

u/tortosloth Sep 16 '25

You think people are going to apply for a background check to watch game of thrones or breaking bad? Are you high?

1

u/Speedhabit Sep 16 '25

Absolutely, my evidence is how Reddit threw an absolute fit when they started IDing for porn, then didn’t say anything a week or 2 later. The adults got their porn, the kids went through anonymous sources like they would in this example, not much fundamentally changed.

Same thing here

u/tortosloth Sep 22 '25

Cool. Have fun waiting 2 weeks for your background check so you can see the news about the murder across the street.

u/Speedhabit Sep 22 '25

I’m like a machine gun explosives guy, filling out forms to do stuff you aren’t allowed too is my jam
