An output for violence

As you may or may not know, I've been playing a lot of the game Bulletstorm recently. Bulletstorm is, how do you say... a little bit on the gory side. This is fine by me, but some people seem to have a big issue with violent video games. I don't understand this because apart from a slight desensitization to violence, it hasn't affected the world population in the least.

There were more wars 100 years ago, before any kind of video game, even Pong, than there are today. While I'll admit using a charged drillbit shot from a modified gun to impale someone on steel poles cannot be very good for you, it hasn't turned all gamers into savage monsters who want to rip your flesh out. Yet.

People are so paranoid that they are blind. Video gaming obviously hasn't created brain-slurping zombies out of young children. Give up anti-gamers.

Why aren't you following? Hmmm?
