people seem to have forgotten what the findings of all that complaining about video games and violence from the 90s and 2000s actually were (spoilers, media doesn't have that direct 1 to 1 influence like that)

and there's also that wonderful kurt vonnegut quote about the effect of art on the vietnam war that feels relevant here too...

And before video games it was dangerous music lyrics, and before that books, and TV, and the radio :p
