gaming again...

Ok--so I just read this:
<<<< playing a game is not
violent. Playing a game is sitting on a couch with a remote control.
Shaming a kid who wants to sit on the couch with a remote control, or somehow
preventing him from playing, is closer to violence than a kid causing the
character he's controlling to shoot an imaginary weapon at some pixels.>>>>
This makes sense to me. SO I'm not sure why I haven't completely made the shift to knowing it in my bones. Maybe I just need to simmer a bit. deschool my societal message. ?
