It is because i have been fighting a sickening force my whole life.
And this sick force has gone out of its way to remove all forms of "violence". So no classes on boxing, or wrestling. Because those are violent.
That when two boys fight, both are wrong and need to be punished. (instead of seeing who is the instigator and who was defending themselves. Defending ones' self has been made wrong.)
And that is the thing. The over the top violence in video games is actually good and cathartic.
But it has been attacked and attacked.
While other, MUCH WORSE, forms of violence have been given a pass.
Passive aggressive people are just allowed to continue with their back stabbing ways. Because beating the shit out of them is considered "violence"
Defending your business by shooting rioters and looters is wrong. The reason is supposedly that "stuff" isn't worth a life, but you are also telling someone to throw away their life's work in the same breath.
And the worst violence ever, govern-cement school. Where you are taught to be a slave. Beaten every day with systemic violence. Violence that is soul destroying and kills the desire to learn. Minimum security prisons where being a bully is rewarded.
We can go on with things like political correctness and forcing people to use "preferred pronouns". Having someone break their minds for the sake of "not offending someone". This is systemic violence.
On top of this we have the system violence of taxes. If 100% of your work being taxed is slavery, where on the scale from 0% is it not slavery? Or systemic violence?
We live in a world where the govern-cement can just come and take whatever you own, and you better let them because they will also take your life if you try to stand in their way of shooting your dog.
So, i am just sick of people looking at the lowest level of violence, and one that is often an appropriate response and saying, "that is bad" and making a big fuss over it, while they let the much more damaging, much more dangerous violence go on unchecked. Pointing out the level 1 violence in defense of one's self, and giving a pass to the level 10 violence and ignoring the level 100 violence.
We are seeing a whole generation of kids being destroyed by this violence. They will be called the lost ones. And they will roam around in big gangs, destroying everything. Their lives forfeit before they even start.
This could have been prevented if we allowed the physical stuff to young children. That we taught proper responses and good ways to defend yourself. But no, we called that "violence", and now it is a cliche about "violent video games".
RE: QOTW: Why do you think so many computer games are based on extreme violence?
