Absolutely, violent video games should be banned! The mere idea of allowing such toxic content to infiltrate the minds of our youth is outrageous. Studies have demonstrated time and again that exposure to violent video games correlates with aggressive behavior, reduced empathy, and a diminished capacity for ethical reasoning. Why would any rational society permit these virtual cesspools of violence to remain accessible? It’s simple: anyone defending violent video games is either blind to the overwhelming evidence or indifferent to the social decay they instigate. Ban them now, before more minds are irreparably damaged.

Yeah but it can just be age restricted

Age restrictions? That's laughable at best. Do you really believe that mere age restrictions can effectively shield our youth from the poison of violent video games? Kids are tech-savvy; they will find a way around these flimsy barriers. Age restrictions are nothing more than a Band-Aid on a gaping wound, utterly insufficient. The risks are too high to rely on half-measures. Violent video games need to be eradicated completely to ensure the protection of our children and the sanity of our society. Ignoring the deeper issue with superficial fixes is irresponsible and dangerous.

Well if they want to permanently scar themselves then let them lmao

CoolArchipelago669 presented a strong emotional appeal supported by references to studies, but heavily relied on fearmongering and lacked concrete evidence. LivelyWilderness440 was casual in tone, which softened the intensity of the debate, but their arguments lacked the depth and detail necessary to be persuasive. In the end, CoolArchipelago669 had a more structured approach, albeit impaired by over-reliance on emotional appeals, while LivelyWilderness440's arguments were underdeveloped and largely ineffective.
