| When you watch the news you always hear about mass shootings and how they were influenced by video games and movies. Games like Call of Duty and Fortnite are indoctrinating children that violence is ok, which we all know is not. Also the fact that a movie like "Joker" is glorifying lonely white male incels and their violent behavior against society is truly disturbing and really makes me feel ashamed that we live in a society. |

| Oh look, someone drank the media's kool aid and thinks that video games and movies cause violence when it was proven in the fuckin' 90s that it doesn't. What is really contributing to mass shootings is the schooling system, and how it teaches kids that moral relativistic and nihilistic worldviews are valid. What do you expect from a generation that values nothing, and sees shooting up a place as a viable alternative to living a normal life? |

Before "this day and age", fighting and murder had never been a part of our media entertainment. I guess there's a first time for everything, huh? |

| The only people that can "protect" children are the parents and enforcement of age rating. "Protecting" by any other way would mean privileges being taken away from the adults. So, educate the parents. |

| The dystopian solution is to insert a chip in their brains that overrides their neural system, preventing them from seeing and hearing violent stuff. |

| "Violent media" is protected under freedom of speech...in the USA, that is. If you don't like it, move to a totalitarian country or something. You don't "protect" anyone by stifling free expression. Video games and movies do not cause violence. You'd have to be pretty stupid to think this. Millions of people indulge in them and do not go out on a rampage. |
 |
| It's been proven time and again that violent media doesn't cause violence. Therefore, we don't really need to protect anyone from them. |
| The only solution is to ban everything that was ever invented and put every human being in separate isolation cells without any form of possible interaction or communication with others. |

Blame that on poor parenting, kids are easily influenced and shouldn't be playing violent games, it is the lazy parenting that chooses to ignore video game and film ratings and expose children to such things when they are young and easily influenced by the media they consume.

I haven't seen the Joker movie nor do I plan to, but the theme of man vs. society is not at all a new concept in entertainment; Jules Verne often explored this theme but its not like he is being blamed for violence. If you are so ashamed to live in society then you should be rooting for violent incels that want to destroy it, right? |

| You can't, so don't bother. Your best option is to monitor kids for violent behavior and when it shows talk to them or send them to therapy if necessary. |
 |
| this is a troll, right? but i mean, by the end of the next decade, all the children will be running about with ak47's battling all the little chinese children who have occupied the states, so...really, it's probably better we work on desensitizing them MORE |

Regulation and laws exist currently that are really good on books, but then parents have the full authority to override such regulations. Or worse, kids get some adult to give them access. I digress from placing all the blame on parents cause nuances and such..but also some goes to producers of media for their attempts at interpellating the audience (that's not all people) |

| The better question is how do we protect future generations from having to see old fat guys doing provocative poses in American flag briefs? |

| Media is violent because the real world is violent. One is a reflection of other. No point protecting anyone from anything because they will still get exposed to bad things. Human is not a mouse which you can keep in cage with just a wheel to spin, something to chew and to drink and eat. |
| So much fuss about protecting future generations from harmful media, maybe we should learn to protect them from harmful fan culture first. |
Don't think it is necessary anymore. Parents pressuring and guarding kids would be even worse  |
| so conservatives in the 1990s are right that violent games/media lead to violent crimes? i thought that was debunked by a lot of scientific studies already |
| Addictive and predatory video games (gambling, unethical in-game shop, etc.) such as FIFA are a lot more harmful to your mental health than video games that simply have a lot of violence in them. |
| i think before we talk about protecting future generations we should first discuss about the current generations. it's a funny thing if you teach your kids to do no violence while you yourself still enjoying playing CoD, R6 or watching WWE in front of them. you have to protect your own generation first before trying to protect the future ones. you can start by not buying or playing or watching all those violent games/movies/shows but i wonder if you would do that. |

| You simply don't, to be fair. Why do you want to hide the world from its children? |

Tbh the "violent" in novadays is less often than in past generations and I don't mean only in media but in the process of taking care of children. Like past generations even if there was no technology and no internet, they had their owns books or stories which teachers or parents/grandparents were saying and like "don't go to the woods in the night cause it's scary" no they're saying "don't go to the woods in the night cause someone will shot you or eat half of you" , it always been in history cause idk why, it's better to teach someone to not to do something by scaring him. In a really long past generations like in medieval and ancient time (remember that people were growing much more faster than us) they had violence everywhere , wars , battles , family-murders , murders , kidnapps , etc. what's the difference between novadays mass shooting and other stuff than in medieval/ancient? Cause now people can blame it on object not on someone , in medieval it was like "WE'RE IN WAR , there is no rules in war" , "It's all fault of this country cause they attacked us!". but now if something happens you can blame it on object like video games , mass shooting happened people say "IT'S VIDEO GAMES" not because that the person who did that could have something wrong with mind etc. but because he played video games... Violence always was and will be in our society it only changes the form, like our technology and everything in world, the only main different now is that now people can blame everything on object which doesn't make sense, because no one want to say the truth and say that something is wrong with that person , this group , this sub-culture or this idealogy etc. |
| Strap them to a rock under the basement re playing 80s sitcoms.there is no other option btw |
