As a youngster myself, I used to get infuriated at video games too.
It was always just too much and then I knew I had to quit the game.
Children should never allow themselves to get that mad.
At a video game.
The games do invoke extreme emotions!

Good ! Don't let your children near the violent video games. Keep them away from these insidious things.
That way when he goes out and kills a bunch of people, we can start right at the core and look at mum.
No evil games in the way, that way.

I was happy for him to have an outlet for his frustration or aggression/ or even just for entertainment.

Your answer was sick and was advertising rape as a joke.
The definitive study, analyzing 130 research studies involving 130,000 subjects worldwide, was published in the March 2010 issue of the Psychological Bulletin, an American Psychological Association journal. It reports that exposure to violent video games is a causal risk factor for increased aggressive thoughts and behavior, and decreased empathy and positive social behavior in youths. The data prove conclusively that exposure to violent video games makes more aggressive, less caring humans — regardless of their age, sex or culture. “We can now say with utmost confidence that regardless of research method — that is experimental, correlational, or longitudinal — and regardless of the cultures tested in this study [East and West], you get the same effects,” according to Craig Anderson, director of Iowa State’s Center for the Study of Violence.
