I agree with your statement. It just seems that people, especially older conservatives, in the examples that I've seen, like to blame violence and things that they don't, can't, or don't try to understand on other things that they don't understand or didn't grow up with. The encouragement part of your opinion is well thought out as well, and I think that most adults seem to only see the bad things, whereas videogames can be wonderful expressions of creativity and individuality. Some point to videogames as the only violent thing that youths experience, even though books and the news and (shockingly) the real world contain violence. Sure, Adam Lanza played videogames before he strolled into Sandy Hook, but he was also mentally insane. Funny how the news skips that single crucial detail.
