M.I.A says videogames teach kids to be violent
I've never heard of M.I.A before, but this story makes her sound like a silly person. She's some singer/political activist and she believes that violent videogames are teaching children to be violent and preparing them to go to war. She even said that, having seen real violence herself in Sri Lanka, she doesn't know whether her experiences are worse than these videogames or not. Seriously.
It's funny that she mentioned Afghanistan. Apparently, there are some very violent scum from the Middle East, many of them very young men, and something tells me that instead of 't get their trend of video games. I think anybody who argue that personal experience of violence to maturity to realize that video never been needed to encourage inhumanity, and that it's something unfortunately hardwired into our basic evolutionary nature. Of course, it's just quicker to say that videogames are doing it, isn't it?
Blaming a media source for violence is an easy ticket. It's intellectually lazy to do so, and you'd think we could expect more from a political activist who has had traumatic experiences herself. Apparently this M.I.A character would rather keep that easy ticket though. Shame.
