Well that was a less civilized discussion than I expected. It was also far too predictable and overdone at this point:
A: "Violent video games are turning people into criminals!"
B: "No, violent video games let people displace all their violent tendencies!"
Although I suppose it's still interesting to see that people still have those kinds of views until now.
I think this is typical in every generation, nothing new. People used to have debates if reading books were bad for you during the middle ages (because it gave funny ideas to people cough*reformation*cough*enlightenment*cough*frenchrevoltution*cough), complaining about how music sucks (since forever), and before that if women riding bycicles was actually propagating promiscuity in the 19th century or how the telephone will create a race of left-eared people. Wont be soon before people complain that VR is actually bad for you as well or some other thing.
