Even if this is the case I'd say that this is a positive thing
I'd rather someone watch porn than go beat the frick out of someone
At the end of the day committing acts of violence is still a choice. Younger people have chosen to do other things instead of act violently. I can't fathom why we can't all just agree that that is a good thing. Why does it have to be prefaced with every imagined dumb arse hypothesis under the sun of why it has to be for some nebulous reason that's obviously a sign of things being worse than they ever were?

I'm not saying it is a negative because it reduces crime.
I dislike the video game culture for generating a culture of fatasses.

I would take this generation over the previous.
The previous generations leave a pile of shite and call them irresponsible?

Fair enough
But with the video game culture also comes the tech culture and a slew of advances that make your life more convenient.

I agree. The medical experiments of the Nazi's paved the way for much of our advances in medicine. No, I'm not saying video games=evil genocidal frickbags. . .just an analogy of negative things helping progress society in other ways.
Tech advances are great, but we are slowly becoming a less physically capable country. We still have great athletes but they usually fall into 2 categories:
-Grow up poor, less access to video games, play outside more
-Parents have tracked the kid after determining aptitude, heavily limited VG use.

Fatasses create themselves. It has nothing to do with video games. Not eating a 2500 calorie McDonald's meal in one sitting will do a lot more than never playing a video game.

Pretty much
A lot of people have sedentary jobs. And that isn't anything new. So blaming video games for everything is pretty silly.

Anyone have any other theories about why violence went down.
I have one: Maybe all the violent criminals just temporarily left to go look for the Loch Ness monster. I'm sure they'll be back any day now and crime rates will skyrocket.
