Youve got to be kidding if you think violent video games, especially shooting games, arent a bad influence on some segment of the population.

Yeah and it was proven at the time that their playing of said games had nothing to do with the shooting.

I like this quote I saw on reddit a few days ago:

"Violent video games are a thing because we as a society glorify violence in movies."

That wasn't the exact quote, but that's what I remember from it.

These idiots went into the woods to record themselves shooting at trees, so they already had a feel for guns. I'll give that Doom and Quake may have whet their killing fantasy. But did it directly cause them to commit murder or did they simply like Doom because they already had the intention to shoot people?

If they hadn't have played Doom, they wouldn't have known that you need to pump shotguns. Prior to that, there was no on screen functionality of guns. Doom started a trend that would teach the coming generations how to assemble M16's from the stock parts after playing a few rounds of Call of Duty and Counter-Strike.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold played doom. They were also shithead bullies who did weird creepy stuff and were largely not very well liked but more for their fucked up behavior than anything.

Harris went around idly bringing up the possibility of killing a bunch of people in the school to other people. He spent his time researching mass killings and even tried to imitate other mass killings around that time in his attempt to riddle the school with bombs

The original Doom is like the most distributed piece of gaming software in the world, it only inspired one event?

Also in Doom youre only shooting demons and theyre trying to kill you back. Not very reminiscent of a school.

Some of those demons have taken over the bodies of your former comrades.
And didnt media report that he had created maps based on his school?
Seeing how modfriendly the game is, I wouldnt be surprised if it is relatively easy to put human enemies on the school map, change them into not attacking (change their attack to 0? Use God Mode?) and perhaps trying to make them move away from the player.

Im not saying that Doom inspired him, just saying that it is fully possible that he used it to live out his fantasy before doing it.

They arent. Next.

Just like bad music or bad TV before this. Shit bad POEMS and plays like Hamlet were derided for being just as detrimental to public health, and each and every assessment of what we later discovered to be art, turned out to be false that blame was on the entertainment.

Stop forcing your bullshit agenda on to entertainment, Kay thanks.

In alot of those countries entertainment of any kind is prevalent
