well, what about the violence in grand theft auto? many news stories have picked up random acts of carnage in the street presumably because of teenagers just having had a session of gta. lots of games have a whole lot of realism to their violence, and will have an influence on children to be homicidal maniacs. what about that recent news story of a 16 year old boy shooting his mother in the head because of Halo 3? that's because of violence in games and it totally influences kids. so again, why is violence uncensored, and sex is? |
Because we prefer to have our kids trying to kill us instead of trying to fuck us.
I mean, it's clearly a double standard. But I think it exists for the same reason that, if kids run around playing war or cowboys-and-indians, you don't worry about it. If they're playing doctor... you do.
