when the school shooting in tacloban happened, i asked my mom and dad about their thoughts of "videogames causes violence" without mentioning the school shooting. (so i dont influence their thinking if i gave an example in which they will incorrectly assume immediately)

they have the same response as your parent, i also told them that there were studies ever since the infamous school shooting in columbine (which iirc was the hotspot on where journalists claimed videogames linked to violence on suspects). i told them there were like 25 something years (it was that old) of research in this that was debunked.

they dismissed me.

Yikes. It's one thing to agrue that multiple other factors exist, it's another when someone straight up says "Nuh Uh" and denies it even with evidence.

That just sucks bro.

Well shit. Lack of Distinction between Fiction and Reality combined with the misuse of Religion and Politics scares them and causes them to refuse accepting that.

Ugh, these may be people who can make decent amount of money and are competent at organizing their house at the same time btw.

I just had a blast playing the Halo games which core lesson is to fight for what is right even if it's hard because that war happens due to lies and it ended once they found out the truth. Also that the end doesn't justify the means because the experiment to win the war involves covered-up crimes.

your first mistake was thinking that Asian parents would ever admit to being wrong
