We have a couple of RPG games. There are the Elden Rings and a couple of others. Do you think we can blame some of these games for the increase in the rate of mass shootings around the USA and other places?

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.

I don't get their hatred for video games. It is not the fault of the companies that their kids are displaying some of those attitudes, and that is something that better get along to deal with.

I feel when video games are blamed for something that happened in the world, it's just an excuse to avoid the fact that the reason something happened was that the government within the country refused to make a difference to prevent such things from happening.

 

I am a firm believer that RPG games do not affect the minds of kids negatively.

I know that the RPG games have some impact on children's minds. Here are my thoughts:

It helps to foster creativity and develop problem-solving skills.

It encourages social skills, teamwork, and communication as well.

It’s one of those games that provides a safe space for self-expression, and it's so amazing.

I think it's very important to consider the individual child and the specific game, as some RPGs can be very beneficial while others may not be suitable. Some of the RPG games contain inappropriate content, and that's why parental guidance and moderation are key.

Blaming RPG games like Elden Ring or similar titles for the increase in mass shootings is a complex and contentious issue. While violent video games have been a topic of debate for decades, numerous studies have shown no definitive link between playing these games and committing real-world acts of violence. Role-playing games typically focus on fantasy, strategy, and character development, rather than promoting actual violent behavior.

This is something that a lot of people don't get yet. These games are just for fun and not what motivates these kids to go out there to do the things that we see them do. It is never the way that we look at it at all.

Yes, I believe RPG games can make some people less sensitive to violence and more aggressive. They aren’t the only reason for mass shootings, but they might influence certain players' attitudes toward violence and conflict in real life..

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.

[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.
