This document counters arguments that video games are inherently bad by comparing them to other media like movies, chess, and Pokémon. It argues that video games are treated differently despite containing similar elements to other accepted forms of media and hobbies. Violence, nudity, and adult content are deemed acceptable in movies and arts but not in video games. The document also rebuts common claims that video games cause addiction, violence, or prevent real-world learning and career development, asserting that media itself is neither good nor bad, and that contents and other social factors define impacts.

1. The Reasons
why people who said

are either ignorance or just plain Stupid

2. Origin of this slides
To counter all those [Experts study] out there
That simply said [Games are Bad]

3. First of all
I will assume that people who read this
Have enough Intelligence to know what
[Video Game] is,
So, I will not go in to the details
of explaining what it is.

4. Other Media and
Comparison to Their
Video Game counterparts

5. Let’s do a simple talk about Chess
Competitive Strategical Battle-of-Wit
Grandmaster are socially respected and
put into Hall of Fame

6. And yet somehow this is Bad
Competitive Strategical Battle-of-Wit Teamwork Reflexes
Championships for MILLIONS in Prizes
-- Not Socially respected much --

7. Another Case
Pokemon World Champion
Told to get a job by his Mother

8. Let’s talk about Movie
Heart-Throbbing, Thrilling, Mind Numbing,
For what ever reasons you watched them for,
You named it

9. Story Focused Games
Heart-Throbbing, Thrilling, Mind Numbing,
Why are they treated differently from those movies?

10. “BAD” Video Games
And their Counterparts
In other Media

11. Violent Stuffs
They have as much violent,
But why is it that Video Games is Bad
When Violent in Movie is Alright?

12. Nudity Stuffs
Hello, Arts? Anyone?

13. Downright Adult Only Stuffs
Real Person Having Sex in front of Camera = OK
Virtual Person having simulated Sex = Somehow not OK
CANT FIND
WESTERN PORN
COVER WITH
WORKPLACE
SAFE IMAGE

14. Common Arguments
made by
Video Game Haters

15. “These are Bad for Children”
Seriously,
Go Check the Rating!!!

16. “They are not going outside”
As far as not going outside goes,
How is it different from
staying home and read books?

17. “They are not seeing other people”
Introversion is a TRAIT,
Not a Mental Illness

18. “They are not going to have a Career”
Aren’t these Professions?
Game Designer, Programmer, CG Artist
Scenario Writer, News Publisher
Game Commentators,
Tournament Organizers,
Etc.,

19. “They are not learning anything”
Millions of Gamers around the world learned about
Pacific Wars in a Year due to
a Game about Warships turned to Girls

20. “There are Violence due to Video Games”
Video Games,
is not a cause of Stupidity and Violence
Bad Education & Social Insecurity is
GTA5 sold 10million copies in its 1st 24hrs
Even if there are 100 Mass Shootings in a year,
That would be about 1/100,000 chance
Statistically, it is just way to small
to say it is the cause

21. “People got addicted to it”
Are you sure that Video Game is the cause?
Neglects,
Bullies,
Harassment,
Enforcing of Religious Beliefs,

22. To Summarize

23. Video Game, is a Media
A Media, in itself, is neither good nor bad.
The Contents defined it.
If it is Bad for simply being Video Games,
then other Media are just as bad as it is.

24. A Side Note;
I got fed up with main-stream Thai Dramas
That have all those
Bitch Slap and Rape in them
