Top Ten Video Games That Have Been Blamed by the Mainstream Media for Being Harmful to Children

You and I may not agree with the accusations that the games on this list have received, but they were blamed by the mainstream media for one thing or another.
The Top Ten
1 Grand Theft Auto

Tired of "Oh Grand Theft Auto and Fortnite and Call of Duty cause school shootings for having guns" but I don't see any biased news channel say Star wars or action movies/T.V. shows cause school shootings for having guns it

*sigh* Sensitive parents. Complaining about violence in a game that isn't even for kids.

This is why I think this is one of the worst video games of all time

Imagine getting triggered over a game that isn't even real.

2 Call of Duty

Not as bad as Grand Theft Auto but still pretty bad

3 Fortnite

Blamed for: a large number of things, ranging from making kids violent to becoming addictive to kids

Also blamed for virginity, skipping school, and other games dying.

It's free but I'm not sure I will download it on my Switch

4 Pokemon Go!

Blamed for: making people distracted while walking, causing them to walk into poles and off of cliffs and whatnot. It was blamed for a few other similar things as well.

I stopped playing it after some time in early 2017 because it drove me mad

5 Star Wars Battlefront 2

Blamed for: encouraging gambling, microtransactions, lootboxes, pay-to-win gameplay, and other generally looked-down-upon business tactics.

6 Mortal Kombat

Blamed for: being too violent when the series first came out. The series was one of the lead driving forces to create the ESRB rating system.

7 Roblox

Blamed for: having a large amount of child molesters and predators, and having inappropriate games for children.

8 Doki Doki Literature Club!

I really love Doki Doki Literature Club! But I must say I was a bit surprised ind this game when you know Monika kinda...Anyways it looks like a cute game so it kinda attracts smaller children (Even though there was a warning but okay)
There is: Blood Violence Suicide Cuss words and well jumpscares... But like I said I really love this game so I'm not trying to hate.

This is why I hate BBC News, and will always hate it until I die. No, scratch that; I LOATH BBC NEWS.

DDLC: Warning this game is not for children or those who are easily distur-

BBC News: AA

Blamed for: a teen's suicide

9 Minecraft

Well, I adore this game though, survival mode and creative mode are timeless classics, however, I will admit people love it for weird reasons (like servers and mods)

Blamed for: becoming too addictive for kids

10 No Man's Sky

I bet no kids even bought this game. Heck even know this game exists.

Blamed for: not having the features promised at launch

The Contenders
11 World of Warcraft

Blamed for people being too addictive and the microtranscations.

12 Playerunknown's Battlegrounds
13 Flappy Bird
14 Left 4 Dead
15 Left 4 Dead 2
16 Resident Evil
17 Sonic the Hedgehog

Should be blamed for making a cancerous fanbase alright.
