China: Violence, drug addiction, teen pregnancy -- blame it on video games |
China has just put the blame on video games for... well... everything. Drug addictin, teen pregnancy, murder, name it, it's the fault of video games. Apparently, it's the spawn of the devil.
In a TV program entitled, "Confessions of a Murderer -- Focus on Pornogrphy and Violence in Online Games (Part Two)," the report pointed out that up to 80 percent of the violent criminals in prison are there in the first place because of online games.
This media crackdown on video games is not unprecedented in China. Earlier in June, the government was in a lockdown with the operators of the world-famous World of Warcraft game.
So where does teen pregnancy and drug addiction come into play? According to the report, an online game called "Audition" encourages girls to have sex with people she met online, causing unwanted pregnancies, and thereby leading to abortions. As for the drugs, the report pointed to teenagers who became dependent on cough medicines, and eventually, metamphetamines, to keep them up all night in so they can keep up with the rigours of gaming.

They don't even back up these claims with anything that can be taken seriously. If you're really stupid enough to have sex with some random person, you deserve diseases/pregnancy.

Oh, and 'methamphetamine ' has been spelled incorrectly. ^^

"80 percent of the violent criminals in prison are there in the first place because of online games." That number seems completely ridiculous. China has 1.5M people in prison, so this is basically saying that without video games, they'd be sitting with only 300k people in prison. . . Somehow, I doubt that.

Kinda stupid in my opinoin. I wouldn't be shocked if their were a few people that played games and got to using drugs to stay up, but more than likely that still wouldn't be the only reason. Maybe some other, less obvious, reasons that no one cares to look into.

And I dunno, I've met a lot of Chinese people and they actually prefer it over there. Since I'm sure a lot of us don't live there, I'm sure they're used to it. I'm also sure they wonder why our government lets us poison ourselves with fast food. It's their culture.

Or is this just a likely US based journalist once again trying to write something negative about China? Us unbiased individuals are getting quite sick of it when a valid argument isn't brought forward by the author.

Thank you symbal. Yes, western culture is influencing China through media outlets and business. Unfortunatly the political aspect is just as centralized as ever. They've allowed the people to buy things to show how progressive they are, but unfortunatly it's all a facade. They still want to cling to their communist roots and still control the citizens as much as possible.

Just look at the result of Copenhagen. Who blocked ALL efforts to reduce the climate change? China. They clearly showed that they won't change their opinion, come hell or high water.
You could just as well try to make a Carnivore to an Herbivore, it would be the same.

And yeah, this is a bunch of bull shit. Whats up with all this stuff video games dont hurt ppl. If ppl do these things and they play video games I bet they didnt get it from them. I mean seriously, Its the ppl behind these things not the video games.
