This is something that has been going on for some while. Ever since the explosion of video game graphics and sales during the early 2000's we have seen a surge amounts of terror attacks by young adults. Its not only just video games but most of hollywood has influenced young millennials on psychopathic plans to put the world in terror. Most of planned attacks have been led by radical young adults. These young adults were influenced since they were toddlers by violent acts on screen on home entertainment systems. The fact that these people can get guns so easily or can search up how to make a bomb on the internet makes these people unpredictable

Video games are harmless. Idiots with simple minds will find a reason to be aggressive no matter what. All those hundreds and thousands of years of wars and carnage pre date video games.

Anybody play Overwatch or Destiny add me on PS4

Things like this happened even long before video games, it has nothing to do with this

This bird has caused more carnage and had a hand in more violence than my GTA characters

I always wondered why videogames become the scapegoat when we had violent media for decades prior.
And the reason it hasn't happened is because it's a faulty argument because not everyone who digests violent media becomes a psychopath.

Media does have its effects but I think it gets overestimated on how much.

Yes, they sure made me very violent

Delete this thread

Do you have any credible source to back this up? Or just anecdotal evidence?

It's the consequences of political correctness.

I thought this was going to be a very moving thread for a second.

The violent crime rate has declined since the creation of shooter games though

I agree. There are some fragile minds that could be easily influenced.

Going to go with the latter since they didn't provide any links with a source.
We're waiting OP

Blame the game, not the gamer.
These games are as much of a reason for terrorism and war as a Skittle is a reason for diabetes!
A weak-minded individual would find a correlation of fictional violence with real-life violence and proceed to act upon it!
A strong-minded and educated mind would find the correlation and choose not to act upon it!
Simple as that!

This! These people will get triggered by something, it can be videogames, but it basically can be anything, it could be listening to a song, a trauma from their own past etc.

perhaps

you honestly don't need a source link from me. just look around you and flip on tv what do you see ? Violence.
The most popular and sold video game around the world? Gta V. Violence.
Music videos? Anti social behavior and violence.

We now live in a world saturated with unlike human behavior.
