I’m sure being older impacts my position. But if your argument is technology has not skewed and desensitized today’s youth and negatively impacted mental health then you are an idiot.
In my opinion, video games give kids an outlet when they might otherwise do things in the real world. Am I an idiot for thinking that? I have just as much evidence as you do.

Can we agree that soldiers sent off to war, which may have real life scenarios like the ones on the VR/simulations, May experience PTSD from those situations?

You are wrong. While video games have not necessarily been linked to violent crime, excessive game play has been conclusively linked to aggressive behavior.

If guns do not kill people (and I am on the side that they are inanimate objects and do not) then video games do not kill people (and I agree that they do not).
It seems hypocritical to make both of those claims and I think a fair amount of conservatives do.
I grew up playing FPSs. Crazy people are crazy. Guns and video games didn't make them that way.
