Wife and I have been discussing throughout the day. We are convinced that his connection to reality collapsed into and through first party type shooter games like COD.

Violent movies and music have existed for decades before video games. Violent books have existed for centuries. But video games are the problem.

Ignorant people blamed Death Race in the 70s. In the 80s, it was D&D. The 90s had Mortal Kombat. It was all the rage to blame GTA in the 2000s. Now, it's FPS games. Hell, they blamed pinball for criminality in the 40s.

Wait until VR games become more popular. Y'all will have a whole new type of gaming to blame.

Research has shown that video games do not cause a higher degree of violent behavior, and even Justice Scalia agreed.

“Psychological studies purporting to show a connection between exposure to violent video games and harmful effects on children do not prove that such exposure causes minors to act aggressively,” said Justice Scalia, writing for the five justices in the majority. “Any demonstrated effects are both small and indistinguishable from effects produced by other media.”
