I'm like 1000% certain incidence of crime has gone down with the rise of video games. Kids these days are boring af.

Well, at a 'guess,
It 'does seem likely to me that 'real violence in youth, encourages 'real violence, in adulthood,
And,
Video 'Game Violence, encourages Video 'Game Violence, in adulthood.
Might be difficult to pin down the 'truth though,
Even if I had access to statistics, studies,
Context, differences in societies, times, make truth hard to pin.
crime hasn't gone down. It is still higher than the levels in the 50's or 40's

Using the FBI data, the violent crime rate fell 49% between 1993 and 2019, with large decreases in the rates of robbery (-68%), murder/non-negligent manslaughter (-47%) and aggravated assault (-43%).
Very obviously the positive effect of pornography and video games.
Sounds to me like prisons need to quit wasting money on expensive rehab programs and just give every inmate a game system and pornhub.

porn makes mass shooters and killers and ruined 6 generations of American men

I have no idea what your trauma about porn is, but I'd guess small penis.

Exactly.

Porn is objectively evil and the people who create it know it
Porn may be good.
Ernest Borgnine is keeping busy - masturbating. The 91-year-old legend appeared on Fox & Friends to promote his book and was asked his secret to longevity. He leaned in and whispered (easily heard over the microphone) "I masturbate a lot." The hosts were in hysterics, rightly.
First ever video game - 1973

COINCIDENCE?!?!?!
I play videogames for society's protection.
Same reason I get high.
I'm a fucking hero basically.
This is the same person who says he's not interested in freedom and thinks Russia is a better place to live than the US so. Basically if Dr Franklin doesn't like it nobody should get to do it.

Poly, what's your favourite type of porn?
I like to go for trans porn because it's efficient. It's like a brain hack, you know. For us seasoned porn viewers, we can just combine the man and woman into one entity. It's the mathematician's choice, I think. Elegant in its simplicity. Chicks with dicks.
Honestly I have not watched porn since they invented snapchat. I must have sent 50,000 dick pics at this point.
11, 500 snaps sent. 24,000 thousand snaps received. The entirety of that is cock and ass. Maybe a few snaps of my dog in there also.
I think men watch trans porn because they're lonely and they can't related to fake orgasms.

I'm sure there are straight women that like porn but it's not really something I've ever really gotten into. If I was going to watch porn it would be the amateur stuff that's on the internet and not that mass produce bull crap. I do love a good trash novel though.

Sexual repression f**ked the Roman Catholic Church.
As the Bishop said to the Choirboy.

@zedvictor4
not true, the abuse came from a few bad apples, chastity has always been revered in the Church in a great way

@Dr.Franklin
I think that there were rather a lot of bad apples. Doc.

Video games are the same no matter what country they're in. Japan is playing the same games as Germany, Germany is playing the same games as the US. The US is the country with the violence problem so it doesn't really have anything to do with the video games.

As I recall, in the Book Don Quixote, Don Quixote was driven mad by stories of chivalry,
Been books outlawed as their ideas caused moral panic, outrage, fear that they may influence society, or simply offense taken from their contents.
There's also the occurrences of Anti-intellectualism in some parts of history.
Well,
"In its first few years, WoW proved just as popular overseas as it had been in the U.S. With fears of WoW addiction on the rise, the Chinese government announced a "gaming timer mechanism." The mechanism reduced your character's capabilities in half after playing an online game for more than three hours in a single session, and to the lowest possible level after five hours. The timer reset after logging off for five hours. The government claimed it would prevent addiction. They made it mandatory to install in every online game."
"When the beta went live, the extreme nature of the Ministry's censorship became apparent. NetEase had to remove all icons that looked like skulls or severed heads. As you can see in the screenshot below, they replaced all such icons with bags.
Icons for other body parts and/or fluids also had to be replaced. Piles of bones were changed to sand bags. Blood effects became black rather than red."
I 'imagine Sames true for various other media, in most countries, even the USA, filtering imports of culture.
