U.S. — The results of a new study on violent video games appear to show that parents are concerned that non-violent video games are turning their kids into sissies.
Kids who play non-violent games are reportedly ten times wimpier than kids who play violent games, according to the study.
"When I was his age, I was turning Mecha Hitler into hamburger meat in Wolfenstein ," said Philip Anderson, a father whose son served as a study subject. "How is Animal Crossing going to prepare him for the harsh realities of life? Look at him. He's watering flowers. How is this a game?"
According to the study, 90% of parents believe non-violent games about making friends or doing chores have made their kids soft. "My boys keep trying to talk things out and reason with bullies," said Heather Baxter,
