Video games are commonly criticized as morally corrupting in that they allow people to imagine themselves transgressing conventional morality. But it is telling that precisely this criticism was leveled against many forms of popular culture in their early stages of development, including novels, movies, and rock music. And just as it now seems silly to suggest that reading novels is morally corrupting, _______.

Summary
Some people claim that video games are morally corrupting because they allow people to imagine themselves transgressing conventional morality. However, this same criticism was applied in the past to many other forms of popular culture during their early stages of development.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
And just as it now seems silly to suggest that reading novels is morally corrupting, eventually the criticism surrounding video games will also fade.

A
we should expect most new forms of popular culture to be criticized as morally corrupting
We do not know if most new forms of popular culture will be criticized in their early stages. We only know that some new forms of popular culture in the past were criticized.
B
we should prefer forms of popular culture that have matured to those that are still in their early stages of development
We do not know what forms of popular culture one should prefer.
C
we can expect these concerns about video games to fade over time
If criticisms surrounding novels faded over time, then criticisms surrounding video games will also fade over time.
D
we should condemn forms of popular culture that allow people to imagine themselves transgressing conventional morality
The argument does not make a determination about what forms of popular culture we should condemn. We only know that some new forms are condemned or were condemned in the past.
E
it is silly to suggest that video games do not allow people to imagine themselves transgressing conventional morality
The argument concedes that video games allow people to imagine themselves transgressing conventional morality.
