She has a point. This is worth thinking about.
Should it be X rated like a movie?
The more times a Taboo activity is performed, the more realistic it is, the less Taboo it becomes.
At what point does our brain not understand the difference?
Current VR is still crude.... what about Matrix level VR?
bullshit and even if it could...see my post above. Unless some real persons rights are infringe no crime exists(i know...novel idea...a crime requires an actual wrong!!!)....period! FUCK OFF SLAVER (not directed at you unless you think thought crimes are real crimes!)Videogames do not make mass murderers, we all know that. But that was not the point. The point was to study what effects VR has on human mind since, unlike conventional videogames, it can very much fool your subconcious into thinking its real.
While I don't think it should be banned, it's certainly worth monitoring. I doubt it'd have a long term affect on adults, but short term, who knows. I know every time I played racing game in an arcade, I'd drive far more aggressively (if I got in my car soon after). Thus, while I suspect she's wrong, I'd hardly call her a moron based on the content. 20 years ago we discussed game addiction in computer ethics courses. I was against regulation (and I still am), but we were just starting to see signs of addiction (and most of what I saw was in MUDs, not video games), but soon after, we started see people addicted to evercrack and later WoW, so I'm not going to write off what she's said as possible, but I'm not willing to regulate something when there's no evidence one way or another.
your purported addiction is with anything that is more enjoyable than something else....which isn't an addiction. It is a purposeful choice. People abuse the word addiction all the time. Nothing in gaming causes an addicting behavior...anymore than anything else in the world....that isn't an actual narcotic.
Everything we view, consume, experience, or think about should be carefully crafted under that watchful eye of concerned special interest groups, corporations, and religious leaders.
just in case anyone reading this is stupid/retarded add /sarc for sarcasm if you are possibly taking hims serious......god i hate to even have to say this.
The only reason people think this way is because they are truly not educated. Simpletons feel like anything we see or do changes our base morality to the worse, which is just purely fictional, its the people that have no morals to begin with that change for the worse. Don't blame those people watch or do, blame the damn people that are actually doing the things that we as a society frown upon!
Same damn argument saying video games are too violent, guess what world crime rates haven't escalated since the advent of 3d games. Just said that people who use statistics with mass shootings and video games, don't go back and check their history before making crazy comments.
the other issue is inherent dishonesty with using stats. People constantly finger fuck stats to prove their agenda.
which sadly may be most of the world if you pay attention to what the IQ scale (and most statistics on humanity) tells us and you look at the average retard....i mean human being. (yes i hold little hope in humanity...history tells me to have little faith in it...so does life)if a persons brain can't understand it, there is a serious problem with that person. Distinguishing reality from fiction is based on cognitive learning from an early age. Developmental growth of the brain is based on cognitive learning lol, so if a person can't distinguish this, their brain is just under developed.
I have to agree with Elf Boy...just a rating that is at least semi enforced like movies, what's the big deal, crazy civil rights people....nobody seems to be agreeing with this articles conclusion about outlawing VR murder, just like a rating or something, or maybe a mode so fluffy bunnies come out of the gun instead of bullets...on the other hand, does anybody care about VR rape, drugs, animal sex etc...on the other hand chances are we are in a VR world anyway, and murder is illegal already, so were all ok.
Clearly a normal mind can differentiate, heh, remember the outcries about D&D back in the day? It may be a really interesting question in the future when normal minds cannot differentiate...if you think you are in REAL life and kill somebody...and then it turns out it was a VR game are you not culpable? Probably not, but, weird right? See, in my imaginary perfect VR of the future game I can choose a setting that makes me think it is real for better immersion. Only when I win/lose or a "Save" point is reached do I get to remember it is a game. Wait...
are you being serious about ratings? and legal limits on buying games? I think they are inherently unconstitutional besides just plain stupid. It falls onto the parent to deem what is okay for their children and to watch them. Not you..not me...not the cops that like to rape little kids and shoot tame dogs.
Also whats wrong with animal sex? Who is being wronged???? If the goat and man both like it? Or if a woman likes to have a dog do her doggy style? Are you against government getting out of marriage and allowing anyone or anything getting married? Marriage is just a legal contact......Does government have some magical god given celestial powers?
If so fuck off slaver!
(i am being serious. If no one and nothing is hurt; no crime is committed....these bullshit moral laws are horrible. And yes i find being gay immoral but WHOA!!!!! is me if i force my personal beliefs on someone! You can stick it in and wherever you so please....none of my fucking business or anyone else's...assuming no one is wronged (raped or beaten....without consent. BDSM is totally okay. I find it distasteful but WHOA is me to judge and force my opinions!)
I fully expect my post to be censored from some pants shitter because i believe people can do whatever they like as long as no one is wronged....heaven for bid a religious person believes not forcing his beliefs on others! And believes in freedoms and rights.
I get it, but I do think that media can push crazy people to do crazy things. I agree that a ticking time bomb is a ticking time bomb, but none the less, triggers do exist...now I am not saying we can do anything about it, shit WILL happen. If you are a raging almost but not quite psychotic murderer and I look at you wrong I might set you off, so might a movie, game, etc...so I guess the distinction I am making sort of becomes pointless....just that there is reason to watch the effects of ever increasing realistic game depravity...that's all, let the grad students and psychologist keep doing there studies. That's all. It is PLAUSABLE that there may be unforeseen consequences even if it is not probable.
hogwash. My exwife purposely did everything possible to destroy my life. My actions are my actions no matter how much a vindictive cunt she was. I never touched her and nor would I. (oh and she was...holy shit she topped the 50+ divorces i saw/heard with a chap/FRO i used to work with in the DOD)
Just like the crazy shits that strangled me back in the DOD because i called them out on being a lazy mook. I never did anything back either because i knew better and had self control even though i would be well within my natural born rights to protect myself. I picked my battles and held onto my principles. I didn't trigger them...they were just psychotic and did as they pleased because good luck getting an E-5 or anyone responsible for anything or getting anyone to give a shit about you. It is a part of life....especially with 0 accountability. People always make their own choices even crazies....blaming something else helps no one and further allows people to act without accountability.
