Violent Video Games Worse Than Porn!

Violent video games have "a much bigger negative influence on kids" than pornography, a leading porn star has claimed. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8453043.stm)
He said parents should be more worried about the harmful effects of such games. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8453043.stm)
Mr Jeremy's comments were made at a session called the Great Porn Debate during the Consumer Electronics Show, CES, in Las Vegas.

Unbelievable, how on earth can you compare it? Its 2 separate things.

(For the record, I think both are acceptable and part of life)

Violent video games don't make me violent.

Trying to take away my violent video games makes me violent.

[Donut]

people who blame all of the worlds problems on violent video games make me violent.

if anything, gears and and call of duty provide an out for anger and stress. whenever im angry i put some bots on casual on gears in annex or something and just blow them up for an hour or two

E: "a lead porn star has claimed."
theres your fucking answer :lolugh:
E2: wait what exactly is the negative influence of porn? last i checked there wasnt anything negative about people watching porn. in fact if anything it helps people relieve sexual tension. its like taking water and soda and saying soda is worse for you than water. what the fuck.

[Warsaw]

Soda is worse for you than water. The sugar creates fat buildup over time if you don't work it off, and the carbonation eats away at the enamel in your teeth. Water does neither of those.

I do get what you are trying to say though. I can't see anything bad about the porn industry. Must be a bunch of prudes claiming otherwise.

Porn vs Violent Vidja games

[Yoko]

As a violent vidya game player I feel pornography stars are corrupting our kids and causing them to ejaculate 11x more than normal ok where's my bbc news story page

[Donut]

This is bullshit. For my english final in High School, i did a 20 page paper on the effects of video game violence on a person's mind. Wanna know whats funny? A spongbob game stimulates the brain in the same amount as a GTA game does. I hate how people always need a scapegoat for other problems. "oh hey its parents dont know how to properly raise him, but it aint their fault, I blame his xbox!!"

Fuck. The only instance I see of violence in video games, is when people nerd rage over them (IE: Halo Reach thread.)

Of course porn is better for you. Take her for example, she probably watched porn as a child and never played any video games. And she is the model of what you would want your kid to grow up as right?

whos her? the porn star? according to the article the person who said all this is named "ron jeremy". if thats a girl then fuck that porn.

[Phopojijo]

The source is a male porn star... nice sexual discrimination though.

Videogames have been known to cause kids to defy their parents, run away from home, use too much, and lower their grades.
Porn have been known to cause kids to defy their parents, run away from home, use too much, and lower their grades.
Boy/Girlfriends have been known to cause kids to defy their parents, run away from home, (see) too much, and lower their grades.
Playing Baseball has been known to cause kids to defy their parents, run away from home, (play) too much, and lower their grades.
Bad Parents have been known to cause kids to defy their parents, run away from home, suffocate their kids, and lower their grades.

[Donut]

[Heathen]

Oh shit, I wasn't reading it all, I tl;dr'd it.

Well there's your answer, Ron Jeremy is a moron.

The source is a male porn star... nice sexual discrimination though.

I sexually discriminated?

[Atty]

I guess I'll just watch porn instead of play Video Games. Either way I'll be enjoying myself.

[rossmum]

ra ra ra ban all teh vidyagaems
no. raise your kids properly instead you lazy fucksticks

[Heathen]

no. raise your kids properly instead you lazy fucksticks

this.

Just like video games have ratings, so does porn. :v:

[Cojafoji]

look, for the record, ron jeremy isn't an idiot. he's worked in the industry for 30+ years, and he has a masters degree for education.

and to be honest, if i had to choose between my kids seeing two consenting adults chessily "making love", or shooting other human like characters in execution type M video games, i'd choose the former.

[Bhamid]

Hes been saying lots other stuff as welll...http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/wow-porn-world-warcraft-whorecraft,news-32571.html

"I just hate the internet in general."

[Phopojijo]

The reason for Jeremy's hate is because the internet is threatening an industry which he made over 2,000 movies for. "People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it? The only ones making money out of porn are the novelty companies," Jeremy said.

...
...

Ron Jeremy is turning into Jack Valenti.

[Cojafoji]

well, again, he's kind of got a point...

the internet has allowed people to begin exploiting others on a massive scale...

sure, it's great for its free flow of information, culture and everything else with sugar and spice, but there are a lot of unsavory people who bounce around on the net as well.

/d's advocate

[Heathen]

No, his only point is that he hates it for the same reason the timber industry hates hemp.

It fucks up his money making.

[Cojafoji]

"The internet has allowed a lot of crooks, thieves and squatters to become millionaires. Normally, they wouldn't get a job washing dishes," Jeremy said in an interview with the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/maggieshiels/2010/01/evils_of_the_internet_by_porn.html).
This is what I was referring to.

This is what I was referring to.Yeah... normally they wouldn't get a job washing dishes... normally they would get a job in the porn industry.

He, like the MPAA, like the RIAA, like everyone else in the old media business... needs to change their business models. You can't hate the internet because your business model cannot cope with it. If the novelty companies make money in internet porn, do profit-sharing deals with them. Capitalize on the new market... like a lot of the legitimate internet millionaires/billionaires who started from nothing like Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook or (more relevant to his medium... but not a millionaire I don't think) Jonathan Coulton. Obviously not the *frauds*... but the other people who worked hard and understood the times.

Change yourself to suit your industry... and clear up the syphilis, you're looking insane.

You can, but you'll just lose out.

did you not notice the 'end devil's advocate' thing that i had on my post? I completely understand why/how the internet is important to business: i've made a couple for small business's. it's just that you can kind of see where he's coming from. like all virgin territory, virtual or land based, there will be a large amount of criminal activity...
