Yet, by the very presence of same things at an early age. We seem to be sane enough, right? Well, just because we can handle something doesn’t make it good for us though. Games don’t cause us to com- mit crimes, but that doesn’t mean they don’t do anything to us at all. Seeing violent images has been known to cause numbness to real violence, that alone is something we should consider. Our empathy is an essential human emotion, we should be wary of eroding that, even slowly. So let’s be willing to be examined! Let’s be secure enough to take criticism and respond, not with anger or attacks at others, but with eagerness to show the rest of the world there’s nothing to fear from video games. Games and gamers are under attack because they are “new and alien,” but rather than lashing back we can open the doors and show we have nothing to hide. On that note, let’s show the difference between those of us who play games and those like National Rifle Association spokesman Wayne LaPierre, who instead of taking any responsibility for any shooting violence, simply turned the blame on anyone and everyone he could. This is the person who, less than a week after the Newton shooting, said, “There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and cor- rupting shadow industry that sells and sows violence against its own people … through vicious and violent games.” Do we want to sound like that? Merely yelling back, we might as well be on a cable news special report. No. We can be better. Let’s show everyone we’re not as alien as some want them to think.
