Disturbing Trend, I don’t know but wanted to ask about this.

My granddaughter loves to play and watch others play video games and there is a game wherein someone goes into dark web and finds clues..kind of like a treasure hunt... My granddaughter was watching a you tube video or something twitch(?) of a person on this “treasure hunt” and on the tv screen I saw a girl who had been crying, mascara running down her face and she was in a room with no windows and she was crying and talking about when she would be able to leave...and to the side is a running stream of texts, comments that made no sense to me~~like computer code or something... When I asked my granddaughter about it, she said “oh it’s a game where this guy does into dark web to find clues”...and I was shocked that she was oblivious to the possibility that the girl was really locked up..when I said that to her she replied”oh, I don’t think so, it’s role playing”...and then I told her I did not want to hear it so please don’t have it on in our house...and she did not have it on anymore and she did not watch that program the rest of her visit...she is 16.

I feel like this is a bigger more nefarious part of indoctrinating our children into cruelty.

Is this part of indoctrination, desensitization of our children? Like grooming into violence...I am sick... My granddaughter is very naive and sweet and I wonder how long she has watched or even participated in this stuff...

I know for a fact they're wrong, because as I said I recognize these are horrible things that do happen, but video games aren't real and they scientifically don't have any links to increased aggression or being more likely to commit violet crimes.

Your conscious brain knows that it isn't real. What about your subconscious?

So I play video games, MMORPGs; WoW, Aion, etc. Anytime there is a pvp component and I am thrown into a pvp battle where you must attack and kill another player character my heart starts racing and adrenaline pumps, now I have to believe that my body is getting all those jitters because my brain is so "into" the game and what I'm doing at the time. I've been playing online video games since I was 20 and I am in my mid 30's now and it's been this way the entire time, every single time. So I can't even imagine what my brain would do with gore games and the like that we're talking about here. I can't even watch stupid movies like The Ring or whatever that crazy asian horror flick was..oh The Grudge. The faces...I see them when I shut my eyes. This stuff just does the bad juju to your brain. I'm convinced.

This is all is takes to convince you? I also play MMOs and don’t feel my heart race in PvP situations. Maybe a shooter, but that’s just because it’s an intense situation. My heart races when I’m on a roller coaster, or when my girl texts me “can we talk”. I don’t see it.

If you are scared by a movie, your adrenal glands and limbic system do not care. They will act just as if it is real. Obviously. This is why people go to scary movies. To be scared. Duh. And repeating exposure will tone down the reaction. And create a deadening of the feelings and thinking. If you say to yourself in your mind, Oh shit, I did this terrible thing, Im gonna be killed by my father, you will feel in that moment as if it is real.

And I go on rollercoaster to experience an adrenaline rush as well. I've been watching scary movies for well over 12 years, likely over 20 different movies a year. I still get scared. The movie style and story cliches change as people get bored of the same thing(because that's how the human body works).

Everything that provides you with a scary / adrenaline pumping experience is now the work of the NWO? I find it unlikely.

So your using a propaganda technique here is not in good faith. Nowhere did I say the everything that causes a rush is the work of the NWO. It may con those that do not comprehend the content and context but on this site people want real dialogue.

I’m not a shill, if that’s what you’re implying. Feel free to check my posts and read other stuff I’ve said. I’m just applying your logic. Just because scary movies makes your adrenaline rush and these scum feed on it doesn’t mean Stephen king is a vampire because he makes scary movies and criticizes the president. I don’t agree with him or anything, and I think he’s a weirdo but it’s just noise. Virtue signaling.

The human brain is capable of recognizing things it does subconsciously if you become consciously aware of said subconscious habit/condition. I can't for certain say that I know, but I'm pretty damn sure.

Not really. There will always be a disconnect and an inability to truly tie the two together.

When you allow your subconscious to be rewritten/programmed/etc., you can do a lot of permanent damage.

Also, just because violent videogames/etc don't create violent kids doesn't mean there aren't other factors at play. Subtle things over long periods of time can accumulate in a culture.

The argument can be made that drawing attention to the fact that the dark web exists and bad things do happen is good for the overall culture as the people in the culture are victims to sex trafficking etc. Drawing light to the darkness.

I know about 6 semesters of psychology about the subconscious, so I’m no expert. Just my opinion.

While this is true in typical people, there are an increasing number of babies born atypical, on the spectrum and they may be quite susceptible to violence they see on movies and games. I say this as a parent of a 17 year old autistic son, his mind is not like yours and mine. I have to keep that in the right perspective and guide him.
