Parents blame the videogame, I blame the parents
Apple | 4:58 PM on 03.28.2008 33 comments



Lately I been hearing about parents blaming all kind of technology that kids use , like internet ,mp3 player and videogames. And am getting tired of that.

Parents just decide to blame a videogame for his kid getting aggressive or less sensitive to human pain , they try to censor the games so everything they play be violence or sex free, hey is ok you want to protect your kids from that but that’s not the way , and they still dare to demand the game company because of that or even make protests.

Well hello parents you bought the game for your kid and didn’t pay attention to what eh was playing and now that you se what eh was playing you decided to blame someone else of your mistake, parents should sit and see what they kids are doing , stop complaining and do something about it because all education starts in the house and if you’re not there to educate them the videogame or the tv will do it .

That’s why is said that Nintendo is for kids, parents should just get the Mario games for they’re kids and don’t buy a xbox 360, a psp , or a play station 3. And the violence in the game is not the thing that makes a kid more aggressive parents should teach the difference between real life from a video game or tv show to they’re kids, because hey I grew up playing resident evil and silent hill and am not a person that gets a lot into fights or grab a gun and run around to the grand thief auto stile( but still I enjoy hitting a monster with a crowbar until it dies on a videogame or just kill someone with a sniper rifle with a head shoot).

Well I just wanted to take that off my mind ,I know this theme has been way to discuss, thank you for reading.

I actually am starting to like these, spelling errors and all.

And I grew up playing Resident Evil also, and I didn't turn out psychotic at all.

I'm gonna steal from South Park and say that parents are so mad about the content on TV and videogames because they rely on them as babysitters for their children. If you're good parents then there is absolutely no issue.

Yeah, pretty much. I think games CAN be an influence, but to say that they actually CAUSE violence is ridiculous. I mean, literally, it's a thought worthy of ridicule. Nothing is that simple.

Also, header images made me laugh.

Also, hi Mrs. Workman.

Good post and Sniper Crowbar ftw!

And forgive for offending anyone who grew up in the trailer parks with NASCAR loving partents but most of these kids who are influenced by violent games usually fit into that demographic.

My friends and I all grew up on the violent games and none of us have tried to set cats on fire or perform wrestling moves on eachother or get prostitutes only to beat them and steal our money back from them.

Nice entry, Apple. I've always agreed that parents need to man up and take more responsibility for what their kids do, and I'm an advocate that if your kid gets screwed up because you let TV and video games parent them instead of you... then you deserve to have your kids taken away.

Also, lol @ sniper crowbar.

This is an interesting post, for a lot of reasons..one of them being that probably everyone so far in this post probably doesn't have any kids.

For another, real parents who are responsible don't have an issue with this. All I ever hear is how parents need to shut the fuck up and parent. Well I'm a parent and while we have our fair share of loony tunes, ignorant, irresponsible ones in our bunch there are way more who are doing what they need to ensure their kids are playing age appropriate games.

I guess what I'm saying is the generalization of all parents being retarded blaming the ills of society on video games is as much a myth as most gamers being antisocial closet psychopaths just waiting for the trigger to unload and vent violence on some large mass of people at large.

Remember as with everything, bad news penetrates faster than good news ever will.

Enough with the parent generalization AND video gamer generalization and STFUPG.

I blame myself and the kids. Don't blame the parents. Weren't we all doing things our parents never knew a thing about?
For instance, I played the hell out of Mortal Kombat when I was younger. My parents weren't aware of that because I played somewhere else. That game didn't do shit to me. I never smashed someone in the face and ripped his spinal chord out while screaming FATALITY! But if I did should I blame my parents? No, I'm the only one to blame.
