I don't think that video games and violent films lead to brutality and sadism. I think that those traits come from a dysfunctional upbringing. Dysfunctional people like video games and violent films and well adjusted people also like them.

I do have questions for those that like violent video games. Where would you draw the line in regard to enjoying the game?

Is it ok to shoot aliens, nazis or terrorists in a video game, but how about a game that involved clubbing baby seals or shooting babies? Does it matter if nothing actually gets hurt? Or to take the concept further is it acceptable for a paedophile to have sex with a virtual reality child?

Also if you are a person that plays violent video games and it was scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are living in a simulation ourselves, how would it affect your views on playing these games?
