I can believe gangsta rap culture may (nevertheless I would require evidence to believe it does) affect kids characters an undesirable way but I can't believe violent computer games can make mentally healthy kids enjoying them to want doing violence in real life. I and many people I knew were such a kids enjoying violent computer games and preferring as much virtual blood and dismembering as possible but doing violence in the real world never ever came into my mind and apparently nobody of the classmates did any either. I also enjoyed crazy and violent driving in Carmageddon and GTA2 but in real life I don't even drive as I believe driving is dangerous.
- howLongHowLong 5y agoWhy is it obvious fictional music crime inspires more real crime than fictional game crime? Just like games, one could come up with random examples of fans doing real world violence, but the vast majority of the suburban kids that prop up the industry are just looking for escapist thrills.
- qwerty456127 5y agoI rarely see games significantly affecting the way how do people look and behave in the real world beyond cosplay events. At the same time it is very common for fans of particular music style to dress and behave a specific way so it in fact does affect their behavior at least in some extent, it may also affect what kind of people do they hang out with. Music also usually has a huge degree of influence on the listener's mood and attitude. Games probably have too but apparently in a much less degree. I don't insist any music style is inherently harmful (let alone for everybody) nevertheless I believe music has more potential to be dangerous than games.
