Violent video games do contribute to mass shootings sometimes, amirite?

Same for movies, TV, books etc. The issue is the mental illness, not the medium.

mentally ill people who play these games can lead to real world violence. That's the mental illness.

True, but the games can be the lightning strike in the dry forest.

I'm incredibly smart. I've read every book. I'm a professional scientist. I've been to the moon. I kissed your dad. I never need a reservation. I'm taller than you. My beard is magnificent. I'm incredibly smart.

why do you feel this way despite all the research proving no correlation or causation between the two whatsoever? just a hunch? just vibes?

Well that Adam Lanza guy played violent video games. It may have contributed to the sandy hook massacre

The number of mass killers who played video games would only matter if that was unusual. 76% of adults in the US play video games. Most of the highest selling video games are violent. But the vast, vast majority of the people who play those violent video games aren't committing violence. We have less violent crime now than before video games became popular in the first place. It's statistically a coincidence and your stubborn personal opinion is that and only that.

If this were remotely true, you would see a trend between consumption increase and mass shootings. Increase in violent video game intake would be seen in mass shooting attempts. But the reality is that the two things don't affect eachother. So you are factually wrong. You and any data you pull would just be correlation. Find the relationship

This seems like a reasonable take honestly. Is this really unpopular?

I see what you mean. Apparently nobody understands nuance these days.
