There was an article recently in the British Daily Telegraph that pointed to movies as causing girls to be more violent. It's bullshit, to my mind -- girls have always had the potential to be violent, but socialized not to be.
I'm expecting to hear about video games making girls more violent, anyday now.

I once heard that someone was blaming FFVII for making some little boys beat up another rolleyes . Why are they always looking to pin violent outbursts on movies and games? It's ridiculous if you ask me. They want to know why we're more violent? Maybe it has something to do with the perverts we have to thrash more often these days. xd

If a chick acts violent, its her own fault. You can't blame a game. Or a movie. When you watch a violent movie, you decide how you want to act upon seeing it either being unfazed, changed in some way, or act with more violence. Its all up to you. Doi. stressed

It's up to the person to choose to be violent, they don't have to imitate what's on the screen. rolleyes

Well its true that video games influence younger ones, since in their minds their not sure whats really right and wrong, and how to deal with problems. Thats why we had to limit the video games played by my little brother. He gets angered easily, and playing fighting games was suposedly supose to calm him down.... but we soon realized he was punching people when he got angry. The video games made a huge influence on him, therefore we restrained him from playing them, but somehow, my parents say that I was completely different. I was able to play anything when I was his age, and nothing changed the way I truly was. They don't know if its just because I'm a girl, or if thats just the way I am~ so honestly I have no clue about girls being so violent ._.; I'm pretty violent myself, but most of the time, I'm just joking around.

Blehh...I'm as violent as I was before I really got into gaming. Really, as in punching your pillow or yelling, gaming could even be considered an outlet for anger. Thus leading to violence, of course.
All depends on the individual, I suppose, but blaming it all on games? Idunno. /:

Women have always been violent since i've been around. Look at Irish wives, well most i've known, especially older couples. The wives bang their husbands over the hand with a cooking pot or wooden cooking spoon. Throw things even when they do something stupid in their eyes. Not to mention the mental violence women cause in the first place. Video games it just a focus on something physical to place blame instead of looking at the social enviornment and little things in life that say it's ok. I donno i think the whole thing of movies causing it is BS as is. Look to the family before you look to the entertainment. But that's just my little view.

i personally don't think i've ever felt more violent because of a movie/video game/tv show. if i get pissed off, it's because i have a reason to be mad... but that doesn't mean i go around punching people in the face or anything. xp i can sort of understand how younger children could be influenced by video games and whatever. they're probably too young to understand the difference of right and wrong, but i think your surrounding enviroment is more influential... like your family, friends, etc. 3nodding

It's the person's choice to become violent. The "Man" has always been trying to blame something for the perverts and whack-jobs of the world. It's their choice not what they watch or play. I've always been tough, but playing fighting games like DOA and Street Fighter helped me learn some moves wink

society blames everything on something. Like the Columbine shooting. That was blamed on music. You wanna know what it is? It's the fact that parents don't know how to teach their kids. Kids grow up thinking it's ok to hate black people. They grow up thinking it's ok to make fun of others for being different. America has 11 thousand deaths by gun a year. It's about 11 in Japan and 6 in the UK. It's the fact that people aren't willing to accept other ideas. Think about it. Japan's society thinks alike. So does the UK. They also accept a lot more than we do. Here in America we have a lot of cultures and different ideas, but a lot of people are too stuck up to accept the fact that someone else is different.

Uggh.
I hate it when society starts pointing fingers to either video game or movies for an excuse as to why some people get so violent or doesn't study at school as much. Only children get violent after watching some violent movie or playing some violent video game. Society is just looking for some excuse to ban video games because they seem to think it gets in the of our studying or alter our way of thinking. It's all stupid. If people let video games get in the way of other things that's their own fault not the things we use for entertainment.

Usually I hate acuusations like these, but just yesterday I was round at a friends house playing on her compputer when from I heard her little sister saying how a car racing game sucked because when you shot the dead bodies of the pedestrians you'd run over, blood doesn't spurt out.
I still think it's wrong to blame video games because you can't raise your children right, but on the other hand, is it really good to tell children of that age that jumping in front of cars and ramming motercycles is funny?
On the issue of women becoming more violent. Yeah, that's down to the perverts
