Why are some cultures less accepting of video games?

[CmdrShep2154]

There is a push to get violent video games banned in Brazil.

I am surprised at how young the person pushing the ban is.


How could a person who presumably grew up in the 90s be against video games?

Why are some cultures like Brazil less accepting of video games? Why are video games more accepted in cultures like Canada and Japan?

The rainforest burnt down at an unprecedented rate this year, largely due to gangs, trying to gain "land" power.

In Brazil.

I'd contest that there exist far more problems in that region, than Video Games.

Brazil has like one of the highest murder rates in the world and you're comparing attitudes there to affluent nations like Japan and Canada?

I swear, this dude super power is to trigger the shit out of me with these daily question threads that he never even bothers to participate in...
CmdrShep2154 > View Started Threads... over 20 pages of this fucking stuff, all back to 2015, it's just impressive.
But to answer your question, they don't give a fucking shit about video games, video games just like rock and porn is an excuse to the real problems, it's nothing new.

Blame the impotent rules that allow this sort of thinly veiled trolling/dramamongering to fester and proliferate for years. Same reason the SC thread is the same dozen people bickering the exact same handful of statements for hundreds of pages.

Brazil lmao, they have like one of the highest murder rates in the world, same with all of central and south america and it's not because of videogames.

Didn't Trump try to blame Dayton, Ohio on video games?

no place for fun in fascist brazil

But you are still democracy right? Just vote out these fuckers so they realize they won't gain any popularity from such retarded ideas.

Besides, I don't think a single nutjob is a good representative of entire culture.

This has absolutely nothing to do with culture.

This is politicians playing politics on easy targets to avoid addressing real issues (which take too much work to fix or raise uncomfortable questions) to get votes.

Brazil is infested with open violence and curruption with a gang culture which makes the absolute worst examples in the U.S. look like sesame street.
