I think it's similar but different. In video games, the player does the killing

We've glorified violence and killing. Especially with guns. It's gotta be a piece of the puzzle.

How could all the media violence not be contributing?

100% no. Don't blame something that is purely entertainment on some evil, crazy

I was referring to how I personally feel on it...100% disagree with the OP.

Ok, I’m with you…. What are the underling issues?

Pretorian

Mental health.

No crap Sherlock, how do you address that?

Pretorian

Who said anything about banning stuff?

That's fair. When you break down like that, I think any media that contains

Then address the underlying mental health issues. Don't ban something that

Porn is not even close to the same thing as war-like video games. C'mon, now.

5/25/22 2:26pm

Do a little research, you’ll change your mind

Pretorian

Really, Japan doesn’t have any violent crime?

Pretorian

It's foolish to think it doesn't have an impact on some.
