that there are people who are predisposed to violence, and the games they play are reflections of that. The second is that playing games like Doom or Wolfenstein at a young age and continuing the tradition has a greater effect than following the rating system (i.e.: playing E- or T-rated games at an early age, and only playing M-rated games at age 17 or older as specified). In essence, if one were to follow the ratings system to the letter (no pun intended), I believe the result would undoubtedly be that one would see a vast decrease in aggression levels. I have a friend who, when viewed on an objective basis, has been described as "sociable" and "charitable". He was brought up on this method of ratings (they are, after all, in place for a reason). Granted, one person isn't enough to influence data, but I still think it warrants further investigation.
399:(In 1997 NordiCon was commissioned by Unesco to form a centre of information, The International Clearinghouse on Children and Violence, for worldwide dissimination of information of research regarding children, youth and media violence. An underlying thought is that the understanding of issues of children and media violence much be widened and deepened through efficient dissimination of information. An overarching point of origin for NordiCom's work is the Convention of Childrens' Rights. It is from this perspective the concepts of violence is viewed. The task area contains knowledge about acts of violence in television fiction and cinema movies, news and documentary programs, video and computer games, and images and texts available on the internet.)

violence on humans or human-looking characters" could face fines or jail time of up to 12 months. It applies to developers, retailers, and consumers." is completely hilarious and wrong. Although the CSU, a conservative party from Bavaria and Lower Saxony, did indeed introduce a bill concerning video games, it's extremely over-exaggerated here! Basically they want to have higher age-ratings and very violent games banned completetely. However, this bill has not yet become law and propably never will! Killing an "human-like character" in a video game is not considered a crime and will most-likely never be in Germany! So I know remove this part of the article.

youth, and need a scapegoat. In this case, the scapegoat was Jimmy Hendrix, and the government didn't like his message, so they bumped him. Again, it's nothing but a shot at the First Amendment, and rock music/video games have been taking the hardest hits. I also believe that any youth who would pick up a gun and shoot up their school would have to be pretty flippin sick to begin with, and that video games aren't what made them that way. Virtually every teenage guy out there has played some kind of violent game, so saying that a child criminal played one means absolutely nothing. Well, i'm done ranting for now, funny satire in that article btw.

false. I am opposed to every person or organization who supports or encourages video game censorship. We gamers and the anti-censorship should go put an end to the threats of video game censorship. I heard the same study that Jessica Nicoll and Kevin Kieffer had cited recently last year. The truth is: There is no correlation between so-called "violent" video games and aggressive behavior or academic failure or violent criminal activity. Generational conflict is the reason for the media lie involving video games and violence. Anyone who opposes video game censorship is my ally. Anyone who supports video game censorship is my enemy.

because he also advised Mishne's parents. Claiming that delays had weakened his case, Jack Thompson asked Medina County Common Pleas Judge Christopher Collier to disqualify himself from presiding over the case because the judge had not ruled on Thompson's request for two months. Lynch himself eventually rejected Thompson's offer, withdrawing his insanity plea. Lynch's mother, Jerrilyn Thomas, who previously demanded that Judge Christopher Collier appoint Thompson to defend her son, said she changed her mind after visiting with her boy in jail, saying, "It has nothing to do with video games or Paxil, and my son's no murderer."
2730:
Resistance: Fall of Man, DOOM, Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid. I am not a violent youth. I may be a bit antisocial, but it has nothing to do with games. Same goes for music, I listen to Metal, I know it's usually got some pretty heavy lyrics, dealing with stuff like satanism, violence, sex and drugs, but again, it doesnt affect me. Anyone can murder, it has nothing to do with passtimes or music or anything. You could have a seventy year old man who likes playing chess and listens to polka killing someone. As for some controversial games, namely DOOM, the reason it depicts satanism is because you're

sentiment to this extreme! What the heck is wrong with video games? Why are they considered a waste of time? They are NOT a waste of time (at least not games that aren't related to Grand Theft Auto or some game like that)!! My parents wouldn't even let me play fifteen minutes worth a day! IT'S SO DOGGONE IRRITATING! I can't even see much of a difference between them and board games! Good grief! Tell me, what purpose does this controversy serve except to try to get rid of the violence and sexual stuff (of which I dissaprove, but my mom didn't care whether or not they had that, she wouldn't let us play)?

to hold a joystick. I suppose, however, that as a games programmer I see 'violence' in games simply in terms of 3D models interacting, sprites colliding, etc., not as actual violence. IMHO, there is no contradiction between this kind of programming logic and the Bible. As for games corrupting young minds... well, if your kid copies everthing he/she sees on TV, giving them GTA to play probably isn't the smartest move. Having said that, violence has been around a lot longer than video games have been. GTA was based on car crime, not the other way round, and Cain never touched a video game...

GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas, the payments were no longer automatic, in the sense that collisions no longer instantly incremented one's money. But especially in Vice City and San Andreas, there is some incentive to hit certain rich-looking tourists and drug dealers, who occasionally drop large amounts of cash on the ground as they fall down. Of course, one still has to disembark from the vehicle and run around to get the cash. And hitting pedestrians still has to be balanced against the risk of attracting police attention (and the hassle and cost of going to the Pay N' Spray Shop). --

the Webcomic Penny Arcade decided to donate instead, and sent him flowers. He said something about them getting money from terrorists and threw the flowers out. He also sued Penny Arcade for harassing him because of that. If only he realized that he's just making a big joke of himself to gamers, kinda like Uwe Boll. Anyone who feels the same way should try to find the video of Jack Thompson in court for Contempt. Man I wish I had one of those "I Hate Jack Thompson" shirts, cause that guy needs to do some serious research.
3010:
but only after copying it here so it can be reinstated should others disagree. My reasons for doing this are that this is an unsubstantiated allegation. I am searching for proof that this allegation was raised by Jack Thompson as I asserted above (Case 3), to emphasize the fact that no reliable evidence was ever produced to support that thesis. However, I am also deleting the comment because it has no source to back up its allegation: no wikipedia page should have an unsourced allegation...

have left their born faith for similar reasons. I know someone who left Jehovah's Witnesses for a similar reason I left that faith. Many people leave their born faith for the same reasons, and others leave for different reasons. I view Jehovah's Witnesses as a cult of Christianity. I believe my totalitarian parents and their religious organization attempted to brainwash me and cause me psychological abuse, and their religious organization gave me erroneous teachings.
3604:"Silent Hill," he could. Dr. Shlain made the most interesting comment on the panel. He said they took some four and five year-olds and gave them video games and asked them to figure out how to play them without instructions. Then they watched their brain activity with real-time monitors. "At first, when they were figuring out the games," he said, "the whole brain lit up. But by the time they knew how to play the games, the brain went dark, except for one little point." 2734:. I can't see how you can blow away the minions of Hell without reference to Hell. I'm not supporting violent acts however, but people need to use the grey blob between their ears once in a while. Maybe I'll copy 9/11 because I played a Flight Sim and messed up and crashed into a building. Maybe I'll go start rolling random objects into a giant ball Katamari Damaci style. Hell, maybe I'll go watch the News, cuz God knows it's less violent than video games *sarcasm* 2516:"Several major gaps remain in the violent video game literature. One especially large gap is the lack of longitudinal studies testing the link between habitual violent video game exposure and later aggression, while controlling for earlier levels of aggression and other risk factors. Indeed, of the four major types of empirical studies mentioned earlier, this is the only type missing. There are such studies focusing on television violence but none on video games." 3729: 31: 1412:
controversy in its original version. The names mentioned are usually names of pro-censorship people. One recent external link has a link to someone who is totally pro-censorship, believing that so-called violent video games is an omnieval danger (or a danger for all ages). There have been enough interviews with pro-censorship people. There should be interviews with anti-censorship people, such as Doug Lowenstein and Steven Johnson.

och medievåld måste breddas och fördjupas via en effektiv kunskapsspridning. En övergripande utgångspunkt för Nordicoms arbete är konventionen om barnets rättigheter. Det är ur denna synvinkel begreppet våld betraktas. Verksamhetsområdet innefattar kunskap om våldshandlingar i TV-fiktions-program och långfilmer på bio, nyhets- och faktaprogram, video- och dataspel, bilder och texter tillgängliga på Internet.

was ever given for those comments. Further more, the article states: "Meanwhile, authorities released a search warrant listing the items found in Cho's dorm room. Not a single video game, console or gaming gadget was on the list, though a computer was confiscated. And in an interview with Chris Matthews of "Hardball," Cho's university suite-mate said he had never seen Cho play video games."

This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.
2219:, so American politics, past and present, is probably the easiest of any country to research online. The only solution, I think, is for editors in other countries to go dig up books in libraries and research the controversy (or lack of) there. Of course, that might be difficult if other countries don't have public libraries as ubiquitous or as easy to access as ours. 2764:
any parent or legal guardian of a child to restrict and/or allow the use of videogames and any other form of media or entertainment. This controversial move to allow "parenting" in every American household was met with its own criticisms, particularly from Anti-video game groups who believe that "parenting" cannot solve the threat video games pose to a child's soul.
789:), or if the depiction is done in a way violating human dignity (the German constitution explicitely guards human dignity, this has led to some rather weird bans). News items and historical descriptions are an exception. On 2004-04-01 this law was amended to include not only humans, but also human-like characters. This probably made the green blood ploy pointless. 2964::In February, 2003, 16-year-old American Dustin Lynch was charged with aggravated murder after being "obsessed" with Grand Theft Auto III so Lynch's note mentioned that "the attorneys had better tell the jury about the violent video game that trained this kid showed him how to kill our daughter, JoLynn. If they don't, I will.". 3603:
Speaking of synapses, another member of that panel discussion at Boulder was Dr. Leonard Shlain, chairman of laparoscopic surgery at California Pacific Medical Center, and an author whose book Art & Physics: Parallel Visions in Space, Time and Light makes you think that if anyone could understand

Much more relevant to both these cases is the fact that they had recently stopped taking psychotropic medications before their rampages. Given that these allegations are commonplace, and that there is a concerted effort to link video games to school shootings, I've come to the conclusion that erasing

I've tried to fix the first part of this article, which was blatantly POV, full of weasel words and extremely badly-written, like a fifth-grader's school essay. But I have a flu and I don't think my rewrite was still good enough. I invite anybody to try to rewrite the first part of the article to try
1940:
I agree, and not to go off topic, but the mention of rock music made me think of Jimmy Hendrix and the theories about his death (actually government murder?). The older, more conservative (i'm not suggesting right wing necessarily) generations have always been dissapointed with changing movements of

I have played all of the GTA games (yes, even the London 1969 expansion pack). As far as I recall, both GTA and GTA2 had that feature where you get rewarded instantly for running over pedestrians (although the amount of money wasn't very much and it easily attracted the attention of the police). In
1175:
I really can't remember any missions on GTA III or GTA VC where the player was rewarded for running over pedestrians, quite the contrary: it's usually easier to finish a mission by avoiding pedestrians, since running over them has the unpleasant effect of alerting the police to your criminal ways :-)

No unlocking code was "included" on the disc. The patch changes a few bytes of code in the game, as does the Action Replay code. That's what all Action Replay codes do: They change a small part of the game (typically the instruction resposible for deducting health from the players health when hit, or

Can some one clean up this paragraph as it's confusingly written. It references 'similar rules regarding violence'. This makes sense if one is reading on from Poland but surely not everyone is reading the list in order, some may be only referencing the Korean paragraph. Can we rewrite it so it stands
3570:
There are a few other controversies other than violence, although this one is the most focused on. How about the "laziness" factor, or that game companies put out warnings about games being able to cause epileptic seizures in those that are photosensitive? Someone needs to point out the OTHER issues
2967:
That is erroneous. The comment is from the father of Lynch's victim. Here is a more detailed account of the incidence from the Jack Thompson page (a controversial lawyer about to be disbarred, who has been at the forefront of videogame censorship and attempts to them to violent incidences): February
2826:
Perhaps I have a bias; some of my closest friends and the first guy I ever really cared about were lost to the inescapable world of video games and MMORPG's such as World of Warcraft. Of course, they are the extreme, but I feel that humans should never choose fictional game characters over spending
2820:
The primary reason that everyone thinks it only provides a one-sided argument is because the facts are 90% against video games; it is true that they create gender stereotypes and in extreme cases, cause addiction. The violence demonstrated in T-rated games is, in many cases, far worse than is shown
2763:
In light of recent scandals, fear that children would be morally scarred for life by beating hookers in some games or for the way some games glorify murder and sex, the US Government, as an alternative to "censorship" passed the "Parenting Act" at the beginning of the country's history, which allows
1525:
Yeah, if anyone can remember all the funny controversey and events that blew up here when the governor launched it. Remember how the state gave out the wrong web address, and some critic bought the URL and placed pro-game comments? And how it fueled arguments about just how intelligent the gov't was
1485:
The video game controversy is getting more and more rampant. Those studies that favor the dark side of the video game controversy are composed of ludicrously small samples. The American Psychological Association has been accused of encouraging video game censorship. They have deceptive researches
1476:
Goodness knows I agree with you. In fact, I've written to various MPs here in Germany where video game censorship is perhaps the strictest in Europe and the US. There's a rather large debate about how removing violence from games is censorship, and how the German Constitution is censorship. However,
1456:
Externally imposed video game censorship and governmental regulation of video games do not only hurt the video game community, it is also financially dangerous to the video game industry, especially if the censorship applies to adults. That includes religiously and governmentally imposed video game

I would like to point out that I am (still?) a Christian at 18, and have recently started playing Counter-Strike on a regular basis. I have also played other 'violent' games, such as GTA, Half-Life, Medal of Honour etc. and have been playing games involving guns and 'killing' since I was old enough
533:
Anon has it right. Rockstar did fully disable the minigame in all release versions. They could not just simply remove it, as its assets were in use in other places. The entire controversy is insane, as NOBODY could accidentally enable the code. You must willingly change the "few bytes of code". Just

This article clearly states who made the allegations: Jack Thompson and Dr Phil, both before the shooter was even identified. In addition, the article mentions that the reports that Cho had played countersrtike obsessively in high school were taken out of articles without explanation, and no source
3009:
Since editorial privileges have been loosened, I will also make the following changes: -the Lynch case: Lynch never said those words, they were said by his victims father, as I have indicated above on this discussion page. Corrections shall be made. -I am going to delete the Cho section altogether,
2986:
Again, not only is this an allegation, but it was made by Jack Thompson--who never had contact with Cho--on television before the events of the incident were even clear, which makes it baseless. All articles on Cho clearly state he hadn't played the game in years, and his roommate is quoted several
2933:
This whole section badly needs to be reworded and expanded, putting these events into context rather than showing the supposed video game cause without any supporting evidence or background information. In the same section, "The two shooters had been inspired by Grand Theft Auto III" doesn't really
2737:
On a seperate note, Jack Thompson, the anti-gaming lawyer from Florida is extremely unprofessional about this subject. He made a challenge for someone to make a game where you kill game designers and he would donate to the charity of their choice. Someone made the game. He didn't pay. The makers of

As mentioned in the article, games like MK were frowned upon in Japan, but games like Biohazard and Samurai Spirits, which are just as if not more gory, were allowed. As mentioned in the Samurai Spirits article, this is more due to the violence in those games being 'acceptable' within the confines

Your mother is ignorant and so is mine. I like to point out that at least in video games, you are doing something. You are thinking and developing strategy and actually involving your mind, not just staring at a tv. Don't get me wrong, I love an epic movie, but I can only take so much before I need

Well, they were invented here in America. But I see your point. I think the reason this article is so U.S.-centric is because (1) we have such a huge population and thus make up the largest proportion of English Knowledge (XXG) editors and (2) we were also the first to start loading all our media

I'm not sure if the left-wing/right-wing framework helps understand the controversy, or is even correct. This controversy has nothing to do with the big picture communism to fascism (left to right) political spectrum. Nor does the controversy even fit in with the contemporary American scene. Isn't

Of course any game (or movie, book, whatever) that violates these laws will not just be indicted, but seized outright and then may not be sold at all, not even between private persons, though it may remain in private property. But especially §131 gives gives a good idea what the protectors of youth

series), and reward them for doing so. Some studies have shown that children who watch violent television shows and play violent video games have a tendency to act more aggressively on the playground, and some people are concerned that this aggression may presage violent behavior when children grow

Results indicated that publication bias was a problem for studies of both aggressive behavior and visuospatial cognition. Once corrected for publication bias, studies of video game violence provided no support for the hypothesis that violent video game playing is associated with higher aggression.

In a motion sent to the prosecutor, the boy's court-appointed lawyer, and to reporters, Thompson asked to be recognized as the boy's lawyer in the case. However, Medina County Prosecutor Dean Holman said Thompson would be faced with deeply conflicting interests if he were to represent Dustin Lynch

In November 2001, 21-year-old American Shawn Woolley committed suicide after what his mother claimed was an addiction to EverQuest. Also Woolley's suicide note metioned that "I think the way the game is written is that when you first start playing it, it is fun, and you make great accomplishments.

I have a theory concerning my last paragraph, as well. Assuming for a moment that the APA study is conclusive and accurate, then people who play violent video games have increased aggression levels. But, if they played violent video games beforehand, one of two things may be possible. The first is

Does nobody else's eyes bulge out slightly when they read things like this? The whole thing needs to be rewritten, from a POV that doesn't make the article seem like the USA is the only country that has video games. That sentance doesn't even mention 'in the USA' at all, an omission that is pretty

I would like to put this article on NPOV because much of this emphazizes the bad side. While that is what the article is about, it shouldn't overlook the other side, such as interviews of anti-censorship people and other things we refer to as; The Rest of the Story. Much of the stuff above is even

Notice that no source is given for these claims. I did some research and discovered that Kazmierczak, like Cho, had indeed played Counter Strike--4-5 years ago. I also discovered that Jack Thompson, once again, was the source of the causal allegations on Fox News--the New York Post, also owned by

I think the above should be inserted somewhere i'm just not sure where. At any rate, the article at the bottom "Myths Facts, and Unanswered Questions" should be cited more methinks. While admittedly i'm a bit peeved at its findings, they're ultimately wholly empirical and the lack of longitudinal

I'm doing POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors.

The controversy wasn't that it was a violent game, it was controversial because some people are, excuse me, militantly anti-military, and object to its very basis, that it was a promotional (advertising) tool for the US Army. The controversy was that millions of kids would play the game, then go

Time crisis I don't think is that bad. There is no blood or gore...it is mostly you shooting a bunch of virtual baddies. There are much worse games. Also, Resident Evil 4 was on the Family Media Guides "Top 10 most violent games of 2004". I dont know much about Silent Hill so i have no comment.

I agree. Searching the web, I don't find any usages of "left-wing" and "right-wing" to refer specifically to a person's stance on video games, except in Knowledge (XXG) pages edited by Tedius. That leads me to believe that it is not a very common meaning of the terms. And the usual meanings of
