If anything gives people a mean and scary view of the world it's the fucking news, not video games.
Yeah this is what I mean, you literally have people radicalised by news and propaganda via social media, people who are really commenting violent acts in the real world
The news is more violent than ever, we see and hear about more violence than ever, it's something we're all exposed to more, and maybe, on a societal level that does have an impact on how we react to violence
But even if that's true, and as far as I can tell, there is little evidence to say it is, video games are a minor part of that
Religious texts being liberally interpreted by idiots have caused a lot more harm this week than video games have caused in the last 3 decades
