Finally, a proper research on the subject of “Violent Video Games” conducted by Harvard Researchers counters the misconception. Seriously, I never bought the whole “violent video games will cause violent behavior” bullshit. Video games are fun even if they are a bit violent. It’s actually quite a good stress reliever.

Soccer moms are controlled almost exclusively by fear. When an opportunist lawyer or psychologist makes the claim that something is dangerous, paranoid moms assume that it is. Now we’ve gotten to the point where enough of these nimrods all believe the same thing so in the collective unconscious of paranoid mothers, video games are responsible for every violent act of every child regardless of the facts. 

I’m glad this conducted this study. I’m glad I never had that “soccer mom” mentality. I’m glad to say that I will one day be playing video games with my son. (whenever that day comes and yes, I will kick his ass in the games - if he wants to beat me, PRACTICE young grasshopper!) But for now, I’m kicking my nephews ass in video games.
