- Theories
- BBFC work is mainly down to the negative effects theory. This theory believes that audiences are passive and media influences the ways people think and act.
- For Regulation
- Douglas Gentile - Offers 'scientific proof' that antisocial, dangerous behaviour increases due to playing video games.
- Mark Kermode said "We all watch the same film, but we we all see something different." And the public have a responsibility & are giving it up for the regulators
- Against regulation
- Davide Gauntlett suggests the concept is backwards and film cannot outweigh upbringing
- O Davey - Violence cannot be distinguished from film as we cannot distinguish violence from life
- Martin Barker - Violence is a part of life. Helps us understand the world we live in.
- Byron review (2008)- No evidence of 'desensitisation' (sensitive language) from playing video games; idea of video games being addictive is prejudice. Based on peoples beliefs and assumptions. No correlation.
