- M_Grey 10y agoYou think so? I'm not so sure that they're really the same argument. "I've seen so much of X that when I see X now, I just shrug," is a very different argument from, "I've seen so much of X, that now I'm more likely to commit X." I think you could have made your point if the article claimed that those shows encouraged violent behaviors in LEO's.
- Retric 10y agoThey reduce the time young people spend outside which reduces violence overall. They also allow people to vent in a non-confrontational manor which further curbs violence. PS: Another thing I wonder about is the fact you will get caught by the police in game changes how people think. In real life or fantasy you are very likely to get away with things, but in games failure is much more common.
