When I used to like candy bars I knew they were garbage. But I liked them and I ate them. It would have been silly to make a big defense of them, talking about their possible minor good points and go on and on about it. Besides that, I think its fine for people to try to get things banned.

I think there is a difference between stating that a game in which you play a serial killer or rapist is ok for the kiddies and stating that it should be allowed to exist.
The original poster seemed to have intended this to be a debate on whether video games affect the behavior of children AND whether those games deemed reprehensible should be made or not.
To me, many of the people who lobby against violent games are spending way too much time on something that should really be a non issue. If a game is violent it obviously is not for children, as enforced by the parents.
These games shouldn't need to be defended in the first place so I think defending them or stating that they can't be defended is sort of silly.
