Do violent video games make you more violent?

I have Autism too and I have played violent games all the time. First played GTA when I was like 11.

That thing about the companies saying games don't cause violence are like tobacco companies saying cigarettes do not kill. That is a very bad comparison, cigarettes are scientifically proven to cause possibly fatal health problems, violent video games have never been scientifically proven to cause violence.

I'd also like to say when I have to do something horrible in a game, I feel horrible doing it, I only played GTA to mess around, I don't think of the people in GTA as real people, more as Ragdolls. If a game character has a developed personality then doing something horrible to them makes me feel horrible.

It isn't video games that cause violence, people who are violent are brought up along with violence in their lives, getting frustrated from not being able to do something in a game makes them angrily violent.

If I get frustrated from a game I just let out an annoyed sigh and try again since I wasn't brought up in a violent environment.

I forgot to mention, despite all the swearing in these video games I never swear, and I never have sweared in the 20 years of my life so far.

bull$hit video games are just society's scape goat to violence as well as guns "take away guns and violent games and the violence will stop" -__- but really u are 18 years old and u have the right to have it if u worked for it and unless you really have a mental promblem or something then you should have it mentally unstable people should not be playing gta btw gta best game of the year dont sell it before gta online dude good luck

I have been playing violent video games for over 15 years, and I am not a violent person at all unless you consider airsoft, going to the shooting range, and tearing down walls during renovations as violence.

It mainly depends on your behavior in school or at home. But if your a good kid and will not mean any harm and just want to try out a violent video game, then no it is ok

I have autism and I play violent games but you don't see me running around with an AK47 shooting everyone I see.

the unbiased studies show that if you are mentally healthy and at the recommended age they dont make more prone to violence however if you are already prone to violence they will make more violent

If you are 18 dont let your parents tell you what to do

To some degree but it is debatable.

No but if you're stupid then yes

no, its complete b.s, its all up to the person.
