Brutal Effects of Online Game in Animator Perspective

Abstract

According to a study of the news in the mass media, it is known that many online games contribute a negative impact on the attitude or behavior of its addict, even up to the brutal or fatal level both for himself and what he does to others. Adverse effects of playing online games that are difficult to control even categorized as a mental illness by WHO. When cases of deviant behavior rooted in online games are brought to the surface, these cases are often discussed as social, psychological, parenting, educational, law, and other issues without ever being revealed or questioned from the perspective of online games themselves as animation products. The writing of this article aims to discuss the results of a study on the issue of the online game's brutal effects on gamers from the animator's perspective. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the main data from interviews with several animation experts, and studies of the literature written by animators recommended by the experts. The result of this study explains that the worst effect of games that can be revealed within the reach of the animator's sight is that the consequence of game addiction may be experienced by gamers. Animators recognize that opium can be triggered by the quality of games that are attractive and provide virtual satisfaction. The quality itself would not have resulted unless the animator carefully applies the principles of animation design. Whereas for issues that go further than the opium such as the brutal effects of online gaming are problems that are beyond the animator's capacity to explain. The animator's perspectives and epistemology cannot be forced to reveal the case further unless by collaborating with experts from inter-disciplines.
