Probably in the wrong thing
« on: November 11, 2012, 04:02:30 pm »
about the violence in video games (why yes I am bringing that back up!) What about violence in cartoons? Tom and Jerry? Ren and Stimpy? anyone? hmmmmmm? Why are we bashing only video games? That ain't the only form of entertainment in the world of 4th wall breakology!

I think it's same idea, violence gets less and less disturbing the more one gets exposed to any modern media.

Ah but Ren and Stimpy was made in was made in the late 80's or so. That can hardly be classified as modern. And Tom and Jerry has been around even longer then that! It was on when my dad was a kid and he's a geezer! How can one say that that is modern? Surely one cannot assume that violence in cartoon was only viewed by this generation, cartoons and slapstick humor have been around for decades! Not to mention, in the course of history. Because I can go in any book and find ALL SORTS of violence. Surely that cannot be considered nonviolent.

It's been an ongoing thing.  The government needs more soldiers who will blindly kill people when they're told.

Yes, and I'm not denying that, but that doesn't answer my question. Why do people ONLY assume that violence is in video games?

Maybe because they think of the fact that you're the one participating in the virtual gorefest and that it makes the player him/herself violent.  I think it's the participation that gets people.

Does that also mean that because I partake in the enjoyment of Tom and Jerry and other cartoons, I'm violent because I'm participating in watching a particular show? And does that also mean that the government is watching me play video games and watching television? That's not creepy at all!
