Fake violence is worse than real life violence, aggresive behavior, and life long injuries? I think not. Many parents will let their young child get concussions at football practice and be rewarded for running into another human being but they will not let their child play video games. The parents will let the teachers, sports coachs, or whoever else to do the parenting for them. I believe many parents do not want to take the time to teach life lessons. But, once again the parents need to be involved to teach this. A person/thing could be used as a role model of negative behavior.
Yes, it really could! A role model is not always a person you look up to. The role models in the game could be used to teach a teen. This game could be a good tool to use with teens. But, THE PARENT MUST BE INVOLVED! The parents need to explain what is wrong with the game that the game is just fantasy! But as for a 12 or 13 year old, it can be done. It would be hard for a parent to explain this to a young child. Their minds are not yet developed enough to process the difference between fantasy or reality. Now, I wouldn't let a 5, 6, or 7 year old play this game. What decisions will they make if the "Big Bad Scary World" was always closed off to them? Will they stick to their parent's strict ideals of censorship? Or will the dive right into the debauchery the world can offer? One day, your child WILL leave home and will not be under the parents umbrella of protection and influence. I was not sheltered because sheltering your children is useless. They would talk to me about the differences between reality and fantasy. They let me play video games, listen to "dirty" music, and they even openly discussed sex! "OH MY GOD! You must be a broken person! Your parents ruined you!" NOPE! My parents explained things to me. I have intelligent parents who did not shelter me from the world we live in. Why am I not in prison? Let me tell you why. If you would listen to Jack Thompson then I should be in prison for commiting a violent crime due to my violent video game enjoyment. I have never commited a violent crime, killed a hooker, driven while intoxicated, ect. I have been playing violent video games since I was a young child. When GTA Vice City came out when I was 16, I played that. At the time, it was the most controversial game to date. I disagree with many of the comments about this game.
