Do Violent Video Games Make People More Violent in Real Life?

[Christian]

As others have said, I believe it does depend on the person. While for some they may, while others they may not.

I don't have the weapons to be violent, but if I did....

Nah.

 

[Kinify]

It doesn't have to be violent, Minecube makes people mad and it's just a cube game.

 

[Ceroria]

I mean, games are games. I don't think anybody in their right mind will play a comp game in CS:GO then walk around town with a military grade sniper rifle getting hyped.

 

[Scott]

Yes, in some cases, it does; however, it does not in most cases. For example, a person with a disorder or impairment with their brain may let it affect their life. Generally, however, games are games and no one actually does those things in real life.

 

[KiDD]

Nah, if someone turns to violence there are other factors. Mental disorders are common.

 

[jtmboy]

It is really all about the person

 

[ZombieChick]

no.

 

[SnoopSean]

It depends on the person, how do you play the game?
I think we all like to think that we don't be more violent, but we do get ticked off and our patience levels lower.

I feel like violent videogames helps you live out that violence in your life so that you don't apply it in your real life. In my opinion, it's an option to get that anger out without actually doing it.

No! The brain knows that it's just a game and that are capabilities of doing all that is done in the game are very difficult and impossible for people like us. We all know it's just a game.

An average well functioning human being would not be more violent due to violent video games. A young child or mentally unstable person may have violent thoughts due to videogames. But overall I would say no.
