 Pro It teaches children to associate violence with pleasure. This means when children play video games they enjoy the feel of violent actions when playing a game like war or assain related games. Con I take issue with the framing of violent video games associate violence with pleasure. Particularly as it suggests that a pleasure of winning a contest in a video game and enjoy that success has a correlation to committing violence in real life and feeling pleasure from it. Playing Violent Video games can be pleasurable, However, Does not mean it a connection to pleasure when committing Physical Violence. Second I'd like to make the case against an overall Ban, The logistical Limitations and Gray area when approaching this policy. I'd as what age do you believe these games are appropriate and why? My point of view is it should be a communication between parents and child to determine for themselves when a child is mature enough to play these games. Lastly, I'd Argue That there are benefits to exposing children to this type of content that contradicts your original Thesis, With the argument involving Pornography. Younger teenagers who viewed pornography had a better understanding of appropriate sexual conduct, Risks and safe sex tips than teenagers who didn't. |

On another note, Pornography is never ok. Unpopular opinion here but there are definite downsides to it. Porn, Like games (except worse), Corrupts the mind and desensitizes you to the reality of how things are. It isn't victim-less either. Severe psychological damage, Like depression, Anxiety, Etc. Can ensue when, For example, Marriages are ruined over it. The spouse could ruminate over why it happened, Thinking "I'm not good enough" or other things and fall into depression.
