Does RPG games affect the minds of kids negatively? (1 Viewer)

Absolutely not! By this logic, you could blame violent shows and movies too but again none of this stuff actually makes kids go out and become mass shooters. There's so many mental issues that cause these things to happen and the media already blames video games when they're not the cause at all. I've been playing video games since I was 4, RPGs, platformers, and shooters are my favorite games to play. None of them ever made me want to go out and hurt other people.

It is quite hilarious that we still have these guys that say negative things about video games. I mean, what exactly is their problem with these popular games? Role-playing games are fun, and I strongly disagree that these games contribute to the crimes we have in our society.

[Stable] People commit criminal activity because a need of theirs isn't being satisfied. (Desperate times call for desperate measures). [Unstable] people commit criminal activity because they've got true mental illnesses (like Psychosis and Multiple Personality Disorder, among others) The effect of any form of media, regardless if it's video games, television, movies, table top role playing games, and board games doesn't cause people to misbehave.
