Why do people beat up on video games?

Video games are just another form of entertainment, like movies or TV. People dislike them because they think they are 'corrupting our children' or that they somehow make you more ignorant. \nAlthough, no one seems to say this about television, which is way more brainless than most video games.

men who beat both physically and emotionally need to be in control at all times, when someone questions them, or fails to perform as they want, they feel as if they are loosing control, and beat those who disagree or challange them. they are ususally men who have no self worth, or power. they pick on weaker people, but if the weak person challanges them or their authority in any way that's when the abuse starts. they want a person to be perfect in every way, their concept of perfect, if they are let down they seem to react with abuse.

Most people "react"! The Warrior "acts"!\nWhen a person gets mad, they send energy at the person they are mad at. This causes a sympathetic reaction in the other person. And they send energy\nback to meet the attack.\nThat is why many blow up and start fighting. Because they have "lost" power\nby reacting. The Warrior "acts", by remaining calm and holding his power\nin. And has the advantage that might help him avoid the fight all together.\nOr defeat his opponent.

Violence and conflict have always been inherent in the human psyche, as well as being a primal component of human nature. In the video-game market, ever-increasing levels of violence have become a landmark trend for the development of future games.\nThough this is gravely concerning, we can but wonder the following:\n\nDo these games foment and harbor violent behavior, or\ndo these digital simulations of violence allow adolescents to vent and eliminate violent conduct through controlled, fictional means?

Bro it is simply sports and competition...think about your training partners...you beat the crap out of each other during training...you make each other bleed...you hurt each other...but afterwards you go out for a drink...you know the other guy has worked his but off to try and beat you, and you the same...you relate to him....your similar people, you have similar attitudes, and it is a rare breed of person that can train that hard and fight like that, they have great respect for each other....plus they don't want to appear to be poor sportsmen on TV..

They don't like being slapped... it's part and parcel of the experiences they are going to undergo in their chosen field as a boxer. It's not only the prize of winning that makes them determined but also it's the pain that make them stronger from every fight.

In violent sports they set bad examples for children.\nLike in hockey and wrestling where they promote violence.\nGo to a hockey game and watch a fight.\nGo to a wrestling match and watch a fake fight.

I think it's because they can't feel good about themselves unless they're beating somebody at something.  Somehow they've got it into their heads that in order to be considered "the best" at something you must be better than others around you.  There is no such thing as just doing your best and being satisfied with that.  It has to be compared to somebody else's performance, usually a peer, in order for it to mean something to really competitive people.\n\nIn the US our society has really fostered this in business and personal dealings.  Competition is glorified on tv.  Look at the reality shows - Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, The Amazing Race, Hell's Kitchen - just to name a few.

If they didn't, then it would be a much more violent sport.    The game is a very intense game so without fouls, it would be easier to get a little too rough while defending someone.  The NBA tries very hard to promote a family-friendly image so if a guy gets elbowed, it's not going to go unnoticed.  If you watch the average group of young people play basketball, you will probably notice that there are less fouls called, making for a rougher game.

cuz some people are just sick and they get kicks out of hurting other people for the enjoyment of it

Yes and no but mostly no.  Some people that are susceptible to influence are likely to be influenced by almost anything.  There are religious fanatics that have killed others and even themselves; there are violent movies, books, family, and so on.  If we are to blame a video game, what is next?\n\nNow, it is easy to point a finger but that is just an excuse (the Twinkie defense).  There are those that will blame anything or anyone for their actions but themselves and as a society we must question our reactions.  Should we take the word or some psycho freak and blame someone else or make the psycho take responsibility for their actions?  I think you can probably tell where I stand.  If they have that little moral grounding or that shallow of a grasp on reality I think it is indicative of a larger problem, but they should still be the ones to burn, not the games :)

I think people play mind games out of boredom - to entertain themselves by playing with other people's lives.  Immaturity plays a big role in these games and people usually outgrow the need to have excessive attention paid to them when they are in their 30's.  Then they are sure of themselves and don't need to experiment on other people.

It’s for the game testers. Every level and aspect of the game has to be tested and it would not be plausible to expect a game tester to complete the game first time around without dying. If he was to test it without the cheats it would take longer and would not be productive for the games company.\n\nAlso some cheats like 'Large heads' or 'Black and White mode' are added by the developers for a laugh

I have been slapped twice and had my head rammed into a wall when I was leaving a guy. Not really beaten up. I had no business being around such losers to begin with.
