I don't have a need to justify my aesthetic generalizations. That is part of my point here. I state my aesthetic views and do not attempt to justify them. The fact is my own opinion, which is beyond the scope of this thread, is that most artwork is mind dulling nonsense - no matter what the medium.
The discussion, debate - the point of the thread is that there are some video games (a generalization) - or broadly any media content - that has deleterious effects upon children. That's the point. Is it so difficult to concede that point? Evidently it is for those who love the most violent of them. (See many posts above).
I used one post to indicate simply that I have no problem with stating that some things I like very much - are garbage. I think it would be a better and more honest world if some of the rest of us were willing to let go of passionate defenses of things we are addicted to.
