I remember when rap and metal also caused the downfall of western civilization. Maybe that's why video games aren't doing it...because it already happened.
better get rid of all that porn I have then. No use in keeping it if I'm never gonna watch it.
Games and porn are so 2010. Nowadays, smartphones and social media are fuelling a generation of flash mobs, short attention spans, everything being recorded, sexting, unverified news spreading like wildfire, and instant gratification.
It's just hot girls kissing and having sex with each other. There's no way straight guys are into that, right?Send it to me! I'm already ruint.
Pretty sure the television already ruined society. Or have we abandoned that one already? On to walkmans and portable cassette players!
This new kind of human addictive arousal traps users into an expanded present hedonistic time zone. Past and future are distant and remote as the present moment expands to dominate everything. That present scene is totally dynamic, with images changing constantly.
Luckily even if gaming was a harmful addiction, quitting would be easy since videogames aren't fun anymore.
Games and porn have nothing to do with it. It's the internet that dramatically changed how we live.
I watched porns and played games before there was internet and no one cared.
I laughed at that too. I'm in my 20's, married, full time job, I play games practically every day, and I watch porn (or "make it", *wink wink*) multiple times a week.
Clearly I'm fucked.
This is pretty much common sense to anyone with any ability to notice changes in children (and adults) and their behavior for the past 30 years, but gaf won't admit to it and will say stupid pointless crap as some counter-argument.
Edit: Too late.
So glad someone said this. There is clearly truth in this article and the arguments against it in this thread make no sense. "I haven't killed people since playing videogames derp derp derp."
This is actually an older article from months and months ago.
There's a very good point to be made here but they fail because a) the "ruining a generation" thing is absurd hyperbole and b) the Breivik stuff. Then I decided it was yet another piece of sensationalist bullshit that does nothing to help people like me who know there's an issue but have nowhere to go to get help with it. They're only making things worse.

ThisThis article just means that video games and porn are extremely pleasurable, and that some people are dumb enough to neglect responsibilities in favor of self satisfaction.
UNBELIEVABLE.

Yes, this picture is part of the editorial... it's fantastic..
How can two things I love be so evil?

Fighters Destiny, maybe?
Kind of agree. I actually think video game is a modern nature selection pressure which favors female over male population on the road of human evolution.
