And btw you've not said anything about how it affects you personally. That's part of the problem, you've offered no back up for your stance on the subject other than a feeling.

This isn't a discussion about religion so a "feeling" isn't really relevant.

Ive said nothing but how it affects me personally. ..
Why are feelings only relevant in discussions about religion?

All I can do is comment from my own perspective, and that includes how these films make me feel. Not you, not dezzy, not the cat, me.

I'm pretty sure the arguments that were made against this when LT post it still stands.

I know you can. And all I can do is comment my views on that. Not sure what you're expecting.

You having a 'feeling' that these games are no good is not an example of an actual effect of the games but a superstition you have. Apparently, based on no experience you've mentioned.

The op asked for our opinion of video nasties, I gave my opinion of how they affect me..I dont know what you want me to say.

My 'feelings' are a perfect example of how these films affect me....based on all the experiences I've mentioned in this thread. If you can't understand that then that's your issue not mine.

There is no issue. This back and forth started because you have a problem with people commenting on your views.

Take a deep breath and get some perspective.

I completely understand where Marsh is coming from. Having uncommon beliefs such as being anti-vax, a climate change denyer, or a flat earther are all comparable things. It does not mean a single person who agrees with one if those things is the same as the others, they are comparably un-scientific.

That's true, and if I were suggesting my views on video nasties extended into wider society then I too would be unscientific...the simple fact is, I'm not.

Honestly if a violent move incites someone to become violent they already have deep rooted issues.

As I mentioned earlier I watch loads of horror, seen some really messed up movies and I am not violent in the least.

Hmmm sometimes it's best to just step away from a debate/argument that's going nowhere.
