A form of entertainment that is the scapegoat for:
1. Parents with poor skill sets to do their job.
2. Politicians who desire the votes of these lacking parents.
3. "Victims" of "video game violence."
Many of people point to incidents such as Columbine, Virginia Tech, Newtown, etc. as reliable sources of this new phenomenon known as "video game violence," however, many times the perpetrators of the act were often bullied and harassed by their peers, and were illegally supplied firearms by unlicensed sellers. Almost every time, the victimizers reached out to teachers, principals, parents, etc., but unfortunately their ultimate lack of action caused them to carry out their threats. Ironically, what caused this paranoia and phobia of video games is Klebold and Harris (perpetrators of Columbine) is they put how to make IEDs and pipebombs on a formerly DOOM blogging site.

Klebold: Teacher that kid called me a faggot and shoved me into a locker.
Teacher: Maybe if you stopped being a faggot, that wouldn't happen. (laughs with his fellow eggheads)
*couple days later*
Klebold: (firing 9mm sub)
Teacher: Pls Dylan no more pls.
Klebold: Lights out, faggot. (puts a 9mm round in teacher's skull)
*decade later*
Protester: Video games caused Columbine! Down with video games!
Redpilled bystander: You are the cause of all cancer in the world.

1. I used to play those old, retro video games in the 80's. They're a good challenge!
2. See? Because my son is playing violent video games like GTA V, that instantly makes him a serial killer!!!
3. Dude, video games are the only things that are fun anymore. Well, except for parties, weed, and sex.

A form of electronic interactive entertainment, one that has a considerable amount of history, and one that has gained an incredible amount of world-wide recognition over the years.
However, despite their technilogical evolution, world-wide recognition, and staggering age-spanning consumer rates, video games are still subjected to a variety of stereotypes.
These stereotypes are maintained by those who still harness the mindset that "all" video games are stupid, childish, time-wasting, mentally unbeneficial, or anyone who plays video games is somehow incapable of having a life.
On the contrary, video games in many ways can be more mentally beneficial than any other form of entertainment.
Specific video games can provide god-like creative abilities, have educational values, reduce stress levels, improve hand-eye coordination, stimulate intellectual properties, even make exercise enjoyable thanks to evolved control schemes "Wii Fit".
Delving into the immersive qualities of video games, video games can have very unique relationships with story-telling due to their interactivity.
These include altering the course of the story based on choices, playing as different characters, having multiple endings e.t.c
I could go on forever.
Video games do not only offer entertainment, but unmatched immersive storytelling experiences.

Carlton: Video games are stupid.
Jake: No, that’s just a stereotype, and by today’s standards you couldn't be more false.
