I’m talking more along the lines of, having simulator games where you work in a supermarket and you get to cause as much mayhem as possible. Not in terms of just simply killing, but more like, being a very disgruntled worker in a very annoyingly noisy environment with shitty customers. That game doesn’t exist to me and I wish it would.

Instead, we get more simulator games where you’re at the service of the people. That’s going backwards, if you ask me.

Also, I don’t remember asking for armchair psychologists to come here and start dropping unasked thoughts about how to best relieve stress. Check those at the door.

    you can be wrong all you like but we have the data. the claim isn’t that violent videogames cause violence, it’s that venting your aggression breeds further aggression. most people don’t play violent video games because they need an outlet for their aggression and violence!! if that is something you experience, it’s not something fucking video games can help you with!! you need to actually work on your shit.

      Data is a two way street. While we have data about the claims against violent video games causing violence, we also have data that contradicts the statement that venting aggression breeds further aggression.

      You’re not going to come to me with this bullshit without any sources to cite your claims, then turn around and tell me to actually work on my shit.

      You can fuck off. I think dumbasses like you, are also what contributes to making people violent, is knowing how utterly stupid people like you are.
