What I told myself when I first started was it's nothing like video games. It's basically common sense. If I were to join the military and pick an MOS that sees combat, it would be nothing like games, airsoft or paintball. I could never live life like a video game in any circumstance.

    Makes me feel real lucky I grew up in a house that wasn’t controlled by fear mongering news. My dad was buying me shit like Mafia 2, GTA 4, Call of Duty and the Scarface game when I was only like 9 or 10 and would usually sit there watching the stories as I played like it was a movie. He usually just thought games were hilarious and fun to watch.
    He even use to play online splitscreen in CoD with me and would sometimes play solo, he never quite understood how to play, but thought it was a fun time

    I had a foster father who would lock my video games up and tell me that they rot your brain. He told me to read the Bible. I would come home from school where I was bullied all week and on Saturday he would let me play for one hour on the weekend if I did chores. I literally had to earn every second of game time. On Sunday he would force me to go to church and the kids in the youth group would bully me. I always looked forward to Saturday cause I could be alone and not be bullied for one day of the week. I hated him for what he put me through. To this day he tries to contact me and preach every time I talk to him. Constantly telling me 'you seem to be doing well" you should read the Bible". I'm like why are u calling me all the time you kicked me out and still think ur in charge of my life.

    I know this is old but I loved watching this. I'm a 50 year old gamer. I have been gaming since the 80s. I also have a degree in psychology and I work with many people who suffer with mental illness. In my very early 20s, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I was out of reality for a while and worked hard to get back. It's not perfect but I'm doing what I couldn't do back then. I love video games. Halo, Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, Mass Effect, GTA, etc. Not once...not a single time...did I ever feel an inkling of an urge to hurt anyone, especially kill anyone. We use video games in some of our therapy. Co-op gaming helps a lot of people improve, despite the content. To create a killer, it's not ever just one thing that causes it. It's a perfect storm of genetics, socio-economic status, relationships, access to weapons, and so much more have to all go horribly wrong. Video games may be a piece of that, but only if the others exist. As you said, correlation does not equal causation.

    There's a quote I love from scream "Now Sid, don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!" It shows that movies and games can be to blame for the way the crime was committed but the act of violence itself only is brought forward by people with mental illness.

    After I had my daughter I realized how important it is to try to preserve a child’s innocence as long as you can but you gotta remember that they’re gonna grow up with or without you. I’ll probably start buying her m rated games (if that’s what she wants) when she’s like 14 because at that point I know I was already sneaking m rated games when I was a kid. As long as you stay in your child’s life and give them all the love and attention you can they won’t be influenced by other media like that.

Now I'm playing resident evil games and devil may cry 3 and I'm having a lot of fun with them. But, I will never play mortal kombat again because the newer ones are just still too much, although the older ones seem fine.
