Banned video game?
I’m always interested in the “bread and circus” arguments. Do violent video games nuture psychotic behavior in game players, or allow them tension release? I can’t completely argue either side of this coin, but do recognize a serious division between free speech and action - one is guarenteed by the constitution and the other holds the individual to complete accountability.
Anyway, the UK and Ireland have banned what they see as an inappropriatey disturbing game from the envelope pushers at Rockstar, called Manhunt 2. Others are attempting to defend the game’s artistic merit and both sides end up looking sort of silly.
I can defenitely picture a future situation in which mental deviants are counciled through VR therapy, exploring darker recesses of their minds without anyone actually being injured. How long before America starts televising executions either through cable or online access?
