discussion Does playing Dark Games affect your personality in real life?

[Fitch]

Does playing mind control, blackmail, rape, forced, etc genre type games affect your personality where you feel like whenever you see a hot girl you feel like to corrupt her or rape her?

 

[DadD]

No effect at all. It's a game. But some dark games too disgusting for my personal taste.

 

[DiaperLove]

It depends on the personality... In my case, yes it influences me.
My Phantasy gets new stuff to play aropund, but my peronality keeps it low and not let me inflict myself

 

[piripi]

not at all, i play incest games because i think the story line is better, but i'm disgusted of the idea in real life

 

[xxxx2540]

Depends on what you're really looking for in the game

 

[JustPixels]

Does playing GTA want me to steal cars and kill hookers? Or playing Tetris want me to stack blocks?

The answer is obvious. Yes... yes it does. \sarcasm

 

[Antoni103]

Nah, it's just entertainment

 

[AlBetGam]

I think it's very possible for a game or other fiction to affect how you view the real world (that's why a lot of fiction gets made in the first place). If it feels like a game is likely to do that to me in a way I don't want, I stop playing.

But fortunately most of the games that I think might affect me in a bad way are things I'm not really interested in playing to begin with, so it doesn't come up much.

Part of being a healthy person is seeing the difference between fantasy and reality. Some time you might need to remind yourself that it's not real.

If you have a hard time telling the difference or reminding yourself that you shouldn't do whats done in some stories then you should filter what you read/watch/play.

There is always the chicken and egg possibility.

Do you get depraved because you play those games.
Or do you play those games because you are depraved.

 

[LewdSardin]

Do you get depraved because you play those games.
Or do you play those games because you are depraved.

Or none of the above, you just play the game with a healthy amount of suspension of disbelief to get some fapping/shlicking done

There are only a few "dark" games that I tried and I can't enjoy the truly dark ones, so no effect there. The light corruption ones, well.... I guess I fall in the second category on that one

 

[FancyPrince]

depends on the person honestly

 

[elfieeven]

I think you have it backwards. Being able to play and enjoy dark games just reveals a part of your personality that you keep hidden in the real world for obvious reasons.

 

[Python3]

Absolutely not. What I fantasize about while yanking my dick at the PC has nothing whatsoever to do with the rest of my life.

I once had a girlfriend who was into BDSM. While this sounded fun at first and was congruent with many of my fetishes, I found that I absolutely abhorred doing that thing in reality.

 

[vrdude18]

Does playing war games like call of duty etc make yhou want to join the army and kill people?
If you ike watching slasher movies does it make you a serial killer?

 

[purequiche]

No because I've always been able to separate fantasy from reality. I do seem to really find it fun to take a female protag and turn her into the most depraved slut the game will let me get away with.

 

[Deleted member 123057]

no it doesn't , but it still makes me feel bad so i try to not

 

[Loliholic]

I dont play rape and other noncon stuff. Mind control is my grey area here because after altering the mind its not noncon anymore.
However, be happy my urges are bound to games...i prefer to kill guys on sight and love cheats to freeze ammo/mana ^^

 

[Ovni329]

Not really fancy on those games, but it's a fiction, so it should not have any effect on your life. Anyway, there are freaks out there that might do the opposite.

After trying to play Raptus, I automatically blacklist such games. I find such content extremely distasteful, not to mention irrelevant to my daily life as a married design engineer and father of a ten-year-old daughter.
