  • Many studies have been done about violent media exposure in children. There is a proven correlation between violent children and viewing violent media. It is not a good idea to expose children to violent media otherwise they could grow up believing violence is a viable solution to their problems.

    Sure, there are other factors that make monsters out of children, but you specified media. A lot of people and parents are not aware of the consequences or are not educated enough to be exposed to the truths about child development. Therefore, many children are exposed to graphic violence in the media that shows very little in the way of realistic consequences. Essentially, it's up to the parent to teach the child the difference, but not all parents do.

    • They're not fucking damaged and I didn't ask for any manipulated studies. So why don't you just shut up and let people do what people do? Oh, and the media would show more consequences if it weren't for the soccermoms pitching a fit if blood is shown.

    • I'm not just refering to the age where it's hard for them to differenciate between Fantasy and Reality, I'm also refering to events like the Aurora theater shooting and Columbine Massacre where they're young adult age.

      • What I meant was those damaged kids grow up and do dumb violent things when they become a young adult age. Sorry to be so confusing.
