I'm sorry Metal I just don't think you're living in the real world. It makes sense that anything validating that requirement may form part of social conditioning towards eating disorders. Perhaps before forming the baying mobs and witch-hunting the computer games, people might like to consider the parents and the role they have in bringing up their kids as sensible, reasonable and independent of mind.ĭude, there is a proven correlation between the image portrayed as ideal in the media and the eating disorders attendant to teens attempting to achieve this image. But that effect can come from many more sources than a mildly outrageous computer game. That there may be an effect on the stupid and easily-led, perhaps so. They can tell these soaps and computer games are not real. To the vast majority of kids today, none of these things is so. It's the same as suggesting that certain plot-lines in popular TV soaps will lead to kids thinking that under-age sex and under-age pregnancy is 'cool'. It's the same as suggesting that kids who play violent computer games will eventually go on to become violent themselves, simply because of their gaming choice. I believe that to simply suggest that participating in this game will lead to children wanting 'boob jobs', or will lead to children becoming anorexic, is a slur on the intelligence of the vast, vast majority of sensible, reasonable children. I don't presume to paraphrase him, so will be glad if he clarifies that. Metalattack seems to be suggesting that because a child can tell something is not 'real' it will not have an effect.
