Alright, but consider what you're actually saying. If people believe it's OK, they'll be more likely to commit it. That is a point that's agreeable - if I honestly believed, deep down, that stealing was OK, there was nothing wrong with it, then yes, I would agree, I would be more likely to steal things than a person who see's stealing as wrong. But what makes you believe video games, or any media really, is promoting the idea 'this stuff is OK'? It would seem to me that even the administrators of the websites that host these videos are pretty much of the same opinion as me - The shit is wrong and there is no point in trying to hide it, which is why we show it. Censorship doesn't mean it doesn't happen. - none of them support the idea that the actions people in the videos or the people who create them are committing morally acceptable acts, or behaving morally in any way, on the contrary. They show them to advocate against such behavior, against such acts.
That's what I get out of it anyway.
For example, Berg's beheading video - after viewing that, it makes me question the tenants of Islam that could lead a person, a grown person with the same ability that I have to think critically and empathetically about his fellow man to do such a thing. What is it within Islam that could do that to someones mind? Hate someone, someone they'd never even known, an enemy without a face, simply known as an "infidel" so much to saw his head OFF! That's I N S A N I T Y ! ! !
2 girls 1 cup was for the shock value! And holy shit did that work, that will be published in books and papers about popular culture for our kids to read about. Mission accomplished.
This isn't a camping trip.
